In June 1999 for the first time the students body was voted with use of Voting Machines.In the academic year 1998-99, Diploma in Refrigeration and Air Conditioning was introduced with 20 seats.

As there was no proper infrastructure, the first step towards constructing the Polytechnic was taken by acquiring a plot of land admeasuring 85000sq.mtr. at Cacora, Curchorem.The Foundation Stone was laid on 19th April, 2001, by the Hon. Chief Minister of Goa, Shri Manohar Parrikar, & Hon. Minster for Law, Shri Ramarao Dessai.
