Government Engineering College, Arwal

Government Engineering College (GEC), Arwal is a premier state-funded technical institution established in 2019 by the Department of Science, Technology and Technical Education, Government of Bihar. It was founded under the "Saat Nishchay" scheme to decentralize technical education and make it accessible to rural areas. The college has recently shifted from its temporary transit campus to a newly constructed, state-of-the-art permanent campus in Shivpur, Mehandia.

The institution is specifically noted for its modern architectural design and the inclusion of future-ready branches like Robotics & Automation and Data Science. As a government entity, it offers education at a highly subsidized cost, making it one of the most sought-after colleges for meritorious students from economically weaker sections. The campus environment is designed to be self-sufficient, featuring high-speed 5G connectivity and industrial-grade laboratories.
