History

Netaji Subhash Engineering College (NSEC) was set up, keeping in mind the ideals of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, whose contribution to the Indian Freedom Movement remains invaluable forever. Netaji had dreamt of vibrant, strong and powerful India, an India which would be independent and self reliant, not only politically, but also in the spheres of Education & Technology. He strongly believed that true independence can only stem from strong base in education and technology. The college was set up in the year of 1998 in collaboration with the Techno India Group and The Institute of Computer Engineers (India). The college started with three engineering courses and today, it is one of the largest self-aided engineering colleges in West Bengal.

PHOENIX and NIXAL

History of PHOENIX, the official tech club of Netaji Subhash Engineering College, dates back to 2006, when seven students from the college decided to form a platform that would think beyond just the academic courses that everyone study in the college. With the vision of forming a conglomerate of like minded people and to provide a secure platform to the juniors, these students formed the idea of "Phoenix" - As the Tech-Club. Initial beginning of phoenix was marked by a subscription of Rs. 100 from these 7 seniors, to today, when it has more than thousands of members. Every member of NSEC today is officially a member of Phoenix, and standing now, Phoenix has not only gained the position of "Official Tech Club" of the college, but also has become well known in other colleges.

Today, besides organizing the 3 mega events: Avenir - the annual tech fest, Brainstormer - The inter college quiz and Kurukshetra - the Intra college debate competition, Phoenix holds regular forums. Presently they are: The C Forum, The Robotix Forum, The SSPD forum and the Web Designing Forum, dedicated to the effort to equip the students with sound technical background and management skills, besides preparing them for campussing and job interviews and always striving for excellence and perfection. "Come, Let's Rise", is the motto of the club [9]
