The Instrumentation & Control Department was established in 1993 and, for over two decades, ran the Diploma in Instrumentation & Control Engineering. Admissions to that programme were discontinued from 2020, though several of its faculty continue to serve at GPP. When ACPDC introduced a new Diploma in Information Technology program in 2023, the Electronics & Communication Department initially managed it with its own faculty and labs for about 1.5 years; since then, the Instrumentation & Control Department's remaining faculty have taken over day-to-day administration of the IT program, hiring visiting faculty as needed — as the department currently has no active diploma programme of its own.
