ITE College East (ITE CE-SM) is a division of the Institute of Technical Education. The campus is the 11th ITE campus and is part of ITE's "One ITE System, 3 Colleges" plan, the first ITE College in Singapore. It is located in the eastern part of Singapore in the quiet estate of Simei. ITE College East covers areas on Nursing, the Life Sciences and Logistics Management.

ITE College East opened it's gates on August 2004 and started it's operations on January the following year.

College East's History

A plan to replace the 10 smaller ITE campuses into 3 ‎colleges were to benefit the students if they were to ‎take a course in ITE, they won't have to go to another ‎campus to attend it. Another reason was to improve ‎the image of ITE as a global leader in technical ‎education as oppose to the "It's The End" ‎acronym in the local views of Singaporeans. As for now, ITE College East is slowly getting popular for its courses that are available.‎

Before the college system was implemented, the ‎campus was to be named "ITE Simei Regional ‎Campus" due to the campus' vast size and projected ‎intake as oppose to the other 10 smaller ITE ‎campuses. In 2004, while the campus was still under ‎construction, it was renamed ITE College East (Simei) under ‎the new college system. Still, some signboards in the campus still ‎bare the "ITE Simei Regional Campus" name.‎

The campus was built within 20 months at a cost of S$184.6 million.
