The College of Engineering Pune (COEP) Technological University is a unitary public university of the Government of Maharashtra,[5] situated in Pune, Maharashtra, India. Established in 1854, it is the 3rd oldest engineering institute in India, after College of Engineering, Guindy (1794) and IIT Roorkee (1847).[6][7][8] The students and alumni are colloquially referred to as COEPians.[9] On 23 June 2022, Government of Maharashtra issued a notification regarding conversion of the college into an independent technological university.[10] On 24 March 2022, both the houses of the state government passed the CoEP Technological University bill, which has conferred a unitary state university status on the institute.[11]
