By year 1979, CIFE had imparted a lot of talent to the inservice candidates and in recognition of the growing needs and the services provided to the sector in particular and society per se, CIFE came under the administrative control of Indian Council of Agricultural Research. In recognition of its yeomen services and expertise, CIFE was deservingly conferred the Deemed-to-be-University status by UGC in 1989. Subsequently the scope and mandate have been widened to include education as well as research.

In the year 2003, CIFE Yari Road campus with state of the art infrastructure facilities was developed in an
endeavor to achieve fisheries education par excellence.
