Corporate Orientation: Vidyavardhaka College of Engineering
The instillation of successful productivity amongst youngsters is an aspect to reckon with through the efforts of Vidyavardhaka College of Engineering as it sets a milestone with every passing year and achieving heights in aspects like quality, infrastructure, faculty, research and placements. The institution established in 1997, is one of the ten educational institutions founded by "Vidyavardhaka Sangha". After having an initial start with four branches with a student intake of 240 on roll, the institution now has a remarkable intake of 540 at UG level and 192 at PG level.

Vidyavardhaka College of Engineering has a campus spread across 23 acres that is located in the heart of the city that supports endeavors of its students and teachers alike. The institute offers ample opportunity towards research and skill development. The campus has well established six research centers in mechanical engineering, computer science & engineering, environmental engineering, electronics and communications, business administration and mathematics. With 22 faculties from other institutions pursuing Doctorates at VVCE, the number is projected to reach 50 in a short span of time as two months with regard to the entries received in for the field. Research areas encompass new materials, image processing, and Nano technology and so on that is based on the field that is chosen by students.
Faculty at Vidyavardhaka College of Engineering is a strong facet that contributes to its overall ranking. The total on-campus faculty of 141 has 17 PhD holders among them. Domains like Mechanical Engineering have over five doctorates and other branches have four doctorates as faculty. The institution's faculty has at least one PhD holder in every branch of the institution. There is aspiration to increase the number of PhD holders at VVCE.

The institution also holds monthly lectures by distinguished company personnel. There are workshops conducted every now and then with constant upgradation of technology to meet the need of today's engineering requirements. VVCE has successfully conducted the second International Conference on Current Trends in Engineering and Management on from July 17 to 19 2014.
Placements at VVCE have seen a steep rise. The credited contribution for this is taken by a dedicated and designated placement segment where there is intense training provided from the first semester starting with basic knowledge and skill building.
