  • College Profile
    TRAINING AND PLACEMENT OFFICE UNIVERSITY VISVESVARAYA COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING (UVCE) (Est.: 1917) BANGALORE UNIVERSITY, K.R.CIRCLE, BENGALURU - 560 001 Greetings from UVCE!! We are privileged to inform that UVCE has celebrated 100 successful years and counting. We are happy to invite your esteemed organization to visit our campus for recruitment to hire best of the talents for the academic year 2020-21. We await a positive response from your end and will be happy to answer any queries. A brief information about our institution is given below. HISTORY In 1917, the then Diwan of Mysore Sir M. Visvesvaraya felt a need to have an engineering college in the state, as the Civil Engineering College at Madras and College of Engineering at Poona were unable to accommodate enough students from the then Mysore State. He started the college in 1917 in Bangalore under the University of Mysore. It was started as the School of Engineering with 20 students each in Civil and Mechanical Engineering branches. It was the fifth engineering college to be started in India and the first one in Mysore State. In 1965, the name of the college was changed to University Visvesvaraya College of Engineering after its founder. It is currently the only constituent college of Bangalore University. The name UVCE is very popular in the field of technical education in Karnataka. In its existence of 103 years, the college has a history of great reputation and countless number of alumni. It has produced many eminent engineers, who have occupied coveted positions in industries, research labs and various prestigious institutions in India and abroad.

Through this exhibition, we supported the Year of Water initiative as observed by the Government of Karnataka. It also featured H2O Today, a popular traveling exhibition by the Smithsonian Institution. We encouraged visitors to explore the collective experiences of water and refIect on future challenges through a range of dynamic exhibits and workshops. We presented 15 exhibits spread across three floors of Bangalore International Centre, which examined the role of water in our lives, beyond the value that we derive from it. These exhibits were brought to life through 45 connected programmes such as workshops, lectures, master classes, film screenings and musical performances. Participants engaged with the latest research and thinking on water, and examined its cultural significance, by interacting with scholars and artists from around the world. We also provoked them to begin a dialogue on water as an urgent concern for the city of Bengaluru, and global challenge of the Anthropocene. Ice Painting by Dorota Borowa.

  • Ugad 1819.Pdf
    An initiative of Branding & Communications team of IIT Kharagpur and the students body Branding & Relations Cell led by Dean, International Relations. For more information contact: [email protected] I congratulate the Branding and Communications Cell of the Institute for this novel initiative. Students enjoy the learning experience best when they are challenged. I have often interacted with students, asking them what they thought was the best or worst in a class that they had just attended. And I have often been stumped by their replying that they thought they had “learnt nothing”. Why? I asked them. They said that they did not find the teaching challenging enough. This should leave no one in doubt that we should take another look at the teaching and learning process. Students themselves can be a part of this relook. I have often advocated for student-teachers, often letting them take my own class. The result has been phenomenal, making students involved learners. Only greater involvement on the part of students can ensure their learning. This does not have to happen inside the class always. Sports, extra-curricular activities provide their own challenges. I encourage students to take up these challenges. As these entries show, many of them have indeed taken them up, and realized their enormous potential and talent. Tap your hidden talents and energies. Take up challenges, get involved and enjoy the learning experience Every student is an achiever in his or her own right. Each of them has tremendous potential inside them, and if they pursue their passion with focus and hard work, they will reach their goal.
