University of Visvesvaraya College of Engineering
UVCE (University of Visvesvaraya College of Engineering) is a premier public university in Bengaluru. The Government of Karnataka has declared it as an Institution of State Eminence for its contributions to engineering sciences since 2022.
The institution was started in 1917 by Sir M Visvesvaraya during the reign of Maharaja Krishnaraja Wodeyar. It was previously known as the College of Engineering, Bangalore. It is the first engineering college in Karnataka and the fifth engineering college to be established in India. The institution offers degrees such as B.Tech, B.Arch, M.Tech and PhD in various disciplines of Engineering and Architecture.
UVCE has been a centre of excellence in engineering education, with prominent alumni such as M R Srinivasan, Roddam Narasimha FRS, V K Aatre, Prahlada Rama Rao etc, who have contributed to the development of the nation.
UVCE was established as the College of Engineering, Bangalore, in a time when there were no engineering colleges in the Kingdom of Mysore. The College of Engineering, Pune and College of Engineering Guindy were not able to accommodate enough students from Mysore, so there was a stark requirement of an Engineering College which would steer the industrialization of Mysore.
When Sir M Visvesvaraya became the diwan of Mysore, he proposed the creation of the University of Mysore which was created in 1916. This was the first university in the Kingdom, and it had two campuses at Mysore and Bangalore. The Mysore Campus offered courses in arts and culture and the Bangalore campus offered courses in Science and Engineering. Whilst Central College offered courses in Basic Sciences, Mathematics, the College of Engineering (UVCE) was the centre of excellence in Engineering.
The School of Mechanical Engineering was established in 1913, before the existence of the Engineering College. It offered certificate courses in Mechanical Engineering, and was directed by Prof. S. V. Shetty, an early aviation pioneer, who was the founding professor of the College of Engineering in 1917. The School of Mechanical Engineering became the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the College post 1920. K. R. Sheshachar, recipient of the Order of Gandabherunda, became the first principal of the institution.
The college first started on 1st July 1917 with a strength of 45 students in the First Year Class. UVCE’s department of Electrical Engineering was the first electrical engineering department to be established in the country.
UVCE was the University College of Engineering of the University of Mysore from 1917 to 1964, and of the Bangalore University from 1964 to 2021.
