Seth Sahib Shri Mugneeramji Bangur of revered memory after whom our college has been named was born in the year 1875 A.D. in Didwana, a Pargana town of the then Jodhpur State. He and his younger brother, Late Seth Sahib Shri Ramcoowarji Bangur, were the founder fathers of the House of Bangurs, one of India's great industrial and business group having concerns spread allover the country.

Seth Shri Mugneeramji, who had his education privately in line with the family tradition, was well known for his keen business acumen and farsightedness. The seed sown by these two brothers years ago has taken deep root and has also spread the reputation of the family far and wide duly nursed and further built up by the other members of the family.

Establishment of a College of Engineering was conceived before the formation of the State of Rajasthan and a sum was allocated for this purpose. After the formation of the State of Rajasthan this was made possible due to a handsome generous donation by Seth Ram Coowerji Bangur of Didwana, to perpetuate the memory of his late brother Seth Mugneeramji Bangur and thus the M.B.M. Engineering College was established in August 1951 by the Government of Rajasthan. This college has been considered as the pioneering Technical Institution of the Sate enjoying reputation of the International and National levels. This college became constituent faculty of Engineering in 1962 of the University of Jodhpur (now renamed as The Jai Narain Vyas University, Jodhpur).

Initially a three year degree course in Civil Engineering was offered. Degree course in Mining Engineering commenced in 1957 and in Electrical and Mechanical Engineering from 1958. The college became a constituent Faculty of University of Jodhpur in 1962. In 1966 M.E. courses in Civil, Electrical, Mechanical and Mining Engineering commenced. Subsequently the course in Electronics and Communication was started in 1972, M.E. (Electronics & Communication Engineering), B.E.(Production & Industrial Engineer), B.E. (Computer Science and Engineering) in 1990, M.C.A&P.G.D.C.A programmes are being offered now. The first batch of the students studying in the P.& I Engineering and Computer Science & Engineering departments had been awarded B.E. degrees in the year 1994. The Faculty is likely to start B.Arch., B.E. (Chemical Engineering) and Postgraduate Diploma in Stone Technology soon.The total strength of students in all the departments is over 1600. In addition to it Diploma passed students are also given admission to the II Year directly in various branches. Seven different departments are offering Bachelor’s degree (B.E.), Master’s degree (M.E./M.C.A.) programmes. In addition to these post graduate diploma programmes are being offered by some of the Departments. Research activities leading to Ph.D. Degree are available in all the departments.

Many students have obtained Ph.D. Degree and many are currently pursuing their research. All the Departments have established facilities for research, testing and consultancy. Many other activities of interest to society in general and industries in particular are carried out in the Faculty.

The Faculty also draws support from centralized University facilities and activities. Alumni of the College have brought laurals to the institution by their outstanding achievements both in India and abroad. Alumni qualifying at the Union Public Service Examinations have continuously earned a very high (within first ten ) ranks for their Alma mater in the list of engineering colleges in India.
