Soon thereafter, the school was shifted in the main building which was inaugurated by the then Governor of U. P. Shri Moti Lal Vohra on 14th January 1996. Besides the school, an Engineering College was also simultaneously established by the Islamic Council for Productive Education, in the year 1997 which started functioning from the year 1998 with only two courses viz Computer Science & Engineering and Electronics Engineering. Later on other courses like Architecture, Information Technology, Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering and MCA were added.
