Shaheed Bhagat Singh State University, Ferozepur was established by Punjab government in 2021 and since then no regular vice chancellor was appointed. Before 2021, it was known as Shaheed Bhagat Singh College of Engineering and Technology. The Institute was established by the Government of Punjab in 1995 with the name Shaheed Bhagat Singh College of Engineering & Technology as a tribute to the great martyr Shaheed Bhagat Singh. In the academic year 2011-12, it was upgraded to the status of a technical campus and rechristened as Shaheed Bhagat Singh State Technical Campus, Ferozepur.
Though he belongs to Patiala but from the last more than two decades he is teaching in Delhi-NCR region.
