Padmanava College of Engineering was set up in the year 1999 by the Padmanava Educational Trust on the auspicious Birthday of Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehuru. The trust is a non-profit making organization with the sole aim of development of Education in Orissa. The College, situated in the heart of the Steel City, Rourkela, Sector -4, yet away from the jostle bustle of the city life with its campus along-with the famous Indira Gandhi Park, lies within the bracket formed by the Ring Road in the eastern side and the road that goes beside the STPI in the western side. The lush green trees and the serene atmosphere provide a fitting ambience for academic pursuits where learning really means evolving. The College has received due recognition from Biju Patnaik University of Technology (BPUT), Rourkela to work with it. The Govt. Of Orissa has given its due recognition and concurrence to the institute.

Wi-Fi Campus: It was felt that for efficient management and healthy growth of the College, communication, interaction and monitoring system must be improved. Therefore it was decided to convert the College into an e-campus through WLAN (Wireless Local Area Networking), which use radio waves to communicate among devices. An access point (AP) with an antenna is physically connected to a conventional wired Ethernet network and Servers as a bridge to the wireless network. Wi-Fi WLAN also supports communication among the client systems, allowing the devices to communicate directly with one another in a peer-to peer fashion.Up to approximately 150 feet, a Wi-Fi 802.11b WLAN typically can deliver broadband performance with a signaling speed of up to 11 Mbps. Actual performance depends upon the signal pattern and the number of walls, floors and other architectural obstacles in the area. Wi-Fi 802.11a WLANs can achieve speeds of up to 54 Mbps within a somewhat reduced range.
Computer Center: We have a computer center which is equipped with latest systems and internet connectivity. It is open from 9AM to 9PM for students and staff members.
