Envisioned to "nurturing in the students a spirit of self-learning by infusing creative and critical thinking", Academy of Technology has been established in the year 2003 at Hooghly, West Bengal by Ananda Educational Development & Charitable Organization (AEDCO),  a trust with deep sense of social commitment dedicated to the promotion of education by inculcating appropriate ethics and attitudes.

Academy of Technology signifies the realization of a cherished dream of Prof. Jagannath Banerjee, Chairman of the Trust and an alumnus of I.I.T. Kharagpur and I.I.M Calcutta.

Academy of Technology  within a very  limited period has achieved reputation for its academic standard examination system and campus placement and has already proved that this college is not a mere addition to the growing list of private engineering college in the state.
