It was later reopened by the government in November 2008 under the new name Motihari College of Engineering. The college campus spans 48 acres at Bairiya Fursatpur, Motihari, in East Champaran district of Bihar.

The B.Tech. program consists of eight semesters over four academic years, and the college has expressed plans to start an M.Tech. program in Computer Science & Engineering and other specializations pending AICTE approval.
