The strength of the nation lies in the technological advancement and structural development harnessed by the students who are the nation’s asset. This forethought for a greater nation was transformed into a reality by Sir M Visveswaraya when he established this institution to provide for a better future by offering graduate studies for students across the state. With over 100 years of legacy to add, I am truly enthused by the ambience and energy of the place, the high quality of lecturers, students and the commitment to explore the diverse world of engineering.I firmly believe that an establishment such as UVCE with its glorious history will progress and reach new heights producing engineers who with their achievements and stride will pioneer towards a brighter future.
