The founders of the Dr B. C. Roy Engineering College were visionaries par excellence. Since the inception of the College in the year 2000, they realized the need for a well organized library system to support the reading and learning needs of its key stake-holders, viz., the vibrant student community as well as the burgeoning faculty. The College Library began its modest journey in the very same year of foundation of the College in a room on the ground floor of the College Main Building. But very soon the management realized that the library needs a separate and spacious accommodation to cater to the library and information needs of its users. Accordingly, a three-storey building with 1300 sq. m. of floor space was constructed in close vicinity of the Main Building. The building was christened after the name of the noted astrophysicist Dr Meghnad Saha (1893-1956) and inaugurated by Shri V. Shyamsundar, the then MD, Durgapur Steel Plant on the 10th April 2007 as the Dr Meghnad Saha Central Library of the College.
Central Library: The Central Library of the Institute occupies a very important place in the campus. It supports study, teaching-learning process and research activities. It provides a learning space for the students (UG & PG), faculty, and staff members.
Departmental Libraries: Libraries attached to teaching departments serve to meet the requirements for quick reference to books by the faculty members and the students.
