College of Engineering and Management, Kolaghat (CEMK) was conceived and planned by Prof. Shankar Sen, an eminent educationist and former vice chancellor, Jadavpur University in the year 1998. It has a campus area of 26.925 acres and is located 57 km away from Kolkata within the Kolaghat Thermal Power Plant (KTPP) Township, Purba Midnapur, West Bengal. The College offers full time engineering programmes leading to 4 year B. Tech degree from West Bengal University of Technology (WBUT). All the courses are approved by All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE), New Delhi, India. However, the college started off in 1998 with affiliation by Vidyasagar University, Midnapore, West Bengal. The first three batches of Engineering Graduates (1998-2002, 1999-2003 and 2000-2004) from this college got Bachelor of Engineering (B.E) degree from Vidyasagar University. But, in the year 2001 when WBUT was formed, all non-Government Engineering Colleges in West Bengal including CEMK came under its roof.

All these years, it has been the life-line for the academic activity of the institute. At present, it stands as a modem library with a lot of automation and as one of the largest of all engineering colleges in West Bengal in terms of the number of books and journals.
Central Library serves the academic needs of about 2000 UG students and research scholars, nearly 75 faculty members and about 40 technical, administrative and medical staff of our institute. Besides its services are extended to a number of other organizations also.
The Library resources stand at about numerous volumes including books, back- volumes of periodicals. The journal subscription goes beyond very large number. While all journal subscriptions are available in the present form, some are available in CD ROM form also.
The automated library uses computerization for circulation of books and browsing of some journals.

Some journals, the journal database and the book database are available on the institute network for browsing purposes. Also the library has license for online access for major journals. This facility has been very useful to the users.

The annual fest is held every year in the month of February and is called SPANDAN.
In the initial years of SPANDAN bands like Parash Pathar, Bhoomi, Chandrabindu, Cactus and Artistes like Nachiketa, Anjan Dutt, Shivani Kashyap have performed in the CEMK campus.
In the last Fest Palash Sen And his Band performed in the CEMK Campus.In 2006 famous singer Shreya Ghosal performed in the SPANDAN. SPANDAN is not so good fest with respect to other fest .because organizer of this fest is too lazy and they have very bad management and incapable.
