Feeling esteemed to come before you to present the profile of the institution GICE - a known location for education in Chemical Engineering- in this era of globalization, where world has become local to  every human and  the era of AI  where man tries to find substitute for his intelligence through technology.

The inception of this institution in 1985 as Govt. Institute of Post Diploma Courses in Engineering and Technology (GIPDCE&T), began as an extension of  Diploma with 1½ year  course by Department of Technical Education, Govt.of Andhra Pradesh. Later with the changes in the trend and inclination towards more of bridging the gap between Industry and Institution, 3½  year Sandwich Diploma courses ( where student is given one year  hands on experience and training in the industry ) in Chemical Engineering have been introduced  in the 1995.   

These courses  aim at training the student in specialized field of Chemical Engineering and Technology .

1. Diploma in Chemical Engineering (Petrochemicals) 
2. Diploma in Chemical Engineering (Plastic and Polymers).
3. Diploma in Chemical Engineering (Oil Technology) (Edible). (1996)
4. Diploma in Chemical Engineering (shifted from Govt.Polytechnic, Visakhapatnam)

With exclusive Chemical Engineering courses, for unique identification, in the year 2008, Govt.of Andhra Pradesh renamed the Institute as “GOVT.INSTITUTE OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING, VISAKHAPATNAM” (GICE) similar to such institutions existing in the different parts of the state like Govt.Institute of Electronics (GIOE) at Secunderabad, Govt.Institute of Printing Technology at Secunderabad, Govt.Institute of Leather Technology, Hyderabad etc. This is the first Institute for specialization in Chemical Engineering established by Government in the North Coastal Andhra in view of more Chemical Industries existing in this area and for better employment opportunities.

Diploma Courses offered at this Institution for POLYCET qualified students conducted by SBTET, AP with good established laboratories and Digital class rooms.

With reference to the employment -The institution is proud to make the path ready for professional career of the student immediately after academics through campus placements,  and to supply the human resource to the needs of various Chemical Industries like - Petroleum Refineries, Fertilizers, Paper Mills, Distilleries, Nuclear Fuels, Sugar Industries, Mineral Process Industries, Plastic and Polymer Industries, and Pharmaceutical Industries etc., in and around Visakhapatnam, India and abroad. 

During the present year 2023-24  we are in association with the following Industries and about 80 students have been employed in through campus selections.

Opportunities for higher education:-

These diploma students can  have admission  in B.Tech., in Chemical Engineering in to II year in various Engineering Colleges.  They can also appear for AMIIChE and AMIE examinations.  The pass in all sections of AMIIChE or AMIE is equivalent to B.Tech., for purposes of employment and higher education/Work Integrated Learning Program B.Tech., process Engineering through Bits Pilani.
