University Visvesvaraya College of Engineering: Know about the first engineering college of Karnataka
The University Visvesvaraya College of Engineering (UVCE) is Karnataka's first engineering college. Established in 1917 by Bharat Ratna Sir M Visvesvaraya, UVCE is currently affiliated with the Bangalore University. The University Visvesvaraya College of Engineering was formerly called the College of Engineering. It is the fifth engineering college in the country. It started with 20 students in the civil and mechanical branches, now has over 3,300 students. The college now offers six engineering courses – electronics and communication, electrical and electronics, mechanical, computer science, information science and civil engineering. Candidates who qualify in the Common Entrance Test (CET) or aptitude test conducted by the Government of Karnataka are eligible for admission to the undergraduate engineering and architecture courses. The selection of candidates to the college is done by counselling at CET centre by the Government. Candidates qualified in Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) and Postgraduate CET (PGCET) by Karnataka are eligible for admission to PG courses. Candidates qualifying in the test held by the Bangalore University (BU) or UVCE are eligible for research programmes leading to Doctoral Degrees. The UVCE traces its roots to the visionary leadership of Maharaja Nalvadi Krishnaraja Wodeyar IV and Bharat Ratna Sir M Visvesvaraya, who together laid the foundation for modern education and industrial growth in the Mysore State. Maharaja Krishnaraja Wodeyar, often called a 'saintly king,' prioritised public welfare through education and infrastructure. Under his reign, Mysore saw significant progress, including the establishment of the Mysore University in 1916 as a unitary university — one of the earliest in India. To meet the growing need for skilled engineers, UVCE was founded in 1917 in Bangalore as the engineering college of Mysore University. Sir M Visvesvaraya, then the Diwan of Mysore and a pioneering engineer, envisioned the college to train local students and future supervisors for India's emerging industrial sector. With the Maharaja's patronage and Sir MV's practical foresight, UVCE became one of India's first engineering colleges, nurturing talent that would drive the state's industrial and infrastructural development.

25 years on, University Visvesvaraya College of Engineering batch rekindles campus camaraderie
Bengaluru: Two and a half decades after they last sat in classrooms, dodged lectures, and huddled under trees, 95 alumni from the 2000 batch of University Visvesvaraya College of Engineering (UVCE) reunited on campus for an emotional silver jubilee celebration Saturday. Walking through old classrooms and the lively quadrangle space on campus brought back memories of mischief, ambition, and friendships. The alumni turned students again — playing games, sharing laughs, and reliving moments through a photo slideshow that filled the auditorium with laughter and nostalgia. The reunion brought together alumni from all four branches — mechanical, electrical & electronics engineering (EEE), electronics & communication engineering (ECE), and computer science (CS) — after reconnecting through a WhatsApp group started five months ago. It began with a lively meet-and-greet, a nostalgic campus walk with planting of saplings, and group photos. A staff felicitation followed, honouring professors with shawls and souvenirs. The batch also pledged Rs 13 lakh to the UVCE Graduates' Association to support student initiatives. Venu Gopal K, a mechanical engineering student from the batch and one of the organisers of the event, said, "It was very hard to put everything together, but we were determined to make the reunion happen."

Greens raise concerns over UVCE's new academic block in bio park
BENGALURU: The biodiversity park at the Jnanabharathi Campus of Bangalore University (BU) is under threat as parts of the park are set to be demolished for building an academic block for University of Visvesvaraya College of Engineering (UVCE), the state's first autonomus institute on IIT model. Now, an online campaign has been launched against construction activity in the area. UVCE is set to claim 52 acres of land which is under BU. 'Acres of land are being given to to multiple institutions and agencies, disrupting the biodiversity park and we have always protested against it and now history is repeating,' said TJ Renuka Prasad, an environmentalist who was part of building the bio park. Home to a variety of flora and fauna, environmentalists refer to it as the 'lungs' of Bengalureans. 'We have planted around 30 acres with the Western Ghats species. It's a reserve of many sandalwood trees. There are 175 species of birds and demolishing such a space will have a huge impact to the ecology of Bengaluru,' said Prasad.
