Marvel R&D Lab – was an initiative to create a platform for the UVCE students to explore niche areas apart from academics, understand the real-world problems, innovate and find solutions. So far, around 8Lakhs worth of equipment has been procured.

Once, the UVCE Act-2021 was passed in the Assembly, UVCE Graduates Association decided to start the ground work from our end. Three Committees were formed to discuss and share thoughts, ideas & how UVCEGA/alumni community can help when UVCE becomes autonomous.
With VisionUVCE being the official communication wing of UVCEGA, all the student focused activities and the publicity/branding related activities, reaching out to alumni like Sampada, UVCE Chronicles, BootCamps, Maatukathe and other initiatives are continued.
Entreprenuers & Innovators Group, Monthly Meetings with members, supporting the infrastructure at college, organizing reunions for alumni, interaction with faculty members - UVCEGA has been actively working on various initiatives to "Give Back" to UVCE.
Creating an engaged, supportive alumni network is crucial to an institution’s success. The alumni should be kept informed so they can remain engaged and keep abreast on the progress of the university.Good alumni relationships bring many benefits to both the institution and the alumni. To make the community stronger, easiest way is to get more people join hands. So, we are requesting every member to get one more of his/her batchmate to join UVCE Graduates Association.

Later, it has been signed by the Governor of Karnataka on 21st February,2022 and published in the Gazette Notification on 28th February,2022. This Act grants autonomy to UVCE with a view to empower the Institution to attain standards of global excellence in engineering and allied areas of knowledge.

From UVCE Graduates Association, we have put our efforts from the start, ie, when the Special Committee was formed by the Govt. We have been in constant touch with them, co-ordinated with alumni to meet the Committee and share their thoughts, collated data to help the Committee etc. We have also met the authorities – Higher Education Minister, Secretary of Higher Education and others in this regard.
VisionUVCE was formed in 2009 by a group of young alumni. It was an attempt to create awareness among the strong alumni contained by UVCE and make them understand the potential that the creation of an alumni group working for the betterment of college can bring about. In the 10 years, some amazing work has been done, including the Centenary events like Marathon, Avalokana, UVCE Payana etc along with other initiatives
With VisionUVCE being the official communication wing of UVCEGA, all the student focused activities and the publicity/branding related activities, reaching out to alumni – these activities are taken care by the VisionUVCE team.
We have thoughts and ideas to be implemented as well. But, we are also open for new ideas and suggestions. You are free to come up with your own initiatives and if UVCEGA can help in any way or provide a platform, you can reach out to us.
These ideas can be for the betterment of our alma-mater, supporting students or bringing the alumni together and helping each other
We started the tradition of having monthly meetings (which is open for both members of UVCEGA and as well other alumni) on every FORTH SATURDAY of the month, we have tried to keep everyone updated on the latest happenings at UVCE. These meetings are generally conducted on Google meet with the invite shared with prior notice. We do encourage more people to come forward to attend these meetings and volunteer to take up activities within the UVCEGA Alumni Committee.
From UVCE Graduates Association, we have initiated the idea of supporting organization of Reunions, especially for Golden Jubilee, Silver Jubilee, Decade Reunions. We will be happy to assist in all possible manners and help with inviting people across branches. We offer to set up a small formal event for the alumni and make sure it will be a memorable day for them. Few of the batches have successfully conducted it. This seciton will be updated shortly.
This initiative was started pre-covid where we planned to have discussions department-wise with both faculty and alumni with a vision to understand the present situation and help in ways that would benefit both the students and college. However due to the pandemic, we could not further these discussions. But now, we plan to revive and continue this initiative with due support from both the alumni and college representatives which can begin as discussions and eventually get convert into successful meetings with appropriate outcomes.
Although this matter needs more deliberation with the college, we can surely take on certain projects that can we looked over by us and the college representatives. We can provide our support in a monetary fashion or even help outsource resources that are the need of the hour. Couple of such examples are getting the Computer Lab of Electrcial Department furnished; fixing the chairs present in the library of the college; sourcing plastic cards & print ribbon for Smart Library cards for students; hosting and taking care of the official college website from our end etc
