Sri Jayachamarajendra College of Engineering was started in the year 1963, which was inaugurated by Dr. T. M. A. Pai, who was the then Chairman of the Manipal Academy of Higher Education. Initially it was under the auspices of the JSS Mahavidyapeetha, with the inspiration of His Holiness Jagadguru Lingaikya Dr Sri Sri Shivarathri Rajendra Mahaswamigalavaru of Suttur Matt. Courses in Civil, Mechanical and Electrical Engineering branches were started first. In 1968 the first batch of Students as Engineering Graduates came out.

[edit] Over The Years

SJCE was the first college in Karnataka to introduce Electronics and Communication branch of engineering in the year 1968. Bachelor's degree programs in Instrumentation in the year 1978, Computer Science and Engineering during 1982, Information Science and Engineering in the year 2000, were subsequently introduced. Many Undergraduate and Post Graduate courses were also started. The college has been securing good results successively in the examinations held by both [University of Mysore] and Visvesvaraya Technological University, Belgaum.

The college has evolved an innovative programme called Product Development Centre. This centre identifies some of the students’ projects, which are commercially viable and develop them into prototypes and test for reliability. The product is offered to the students, employees or even outsiders for being commercially exploited.

SJCE-STEP - The SJCE Science and Technology Entrepreneurs Park was established with the sponsorship of Department of Science and Technology, Government of India, Industrial Development Bank of India (IDBI), Department of Science and Technology, Government of Karnataka and Sri Jayachamarajendra College of Engineering. Some of the activities of STEP are in the areas of Entrepreneurship Development Programmes, Technology Transfer, Mass Employment Generation through Science and Technology, Information Centre etc. SJCE-STEP is one of the first 3 STEPs and has been accredited as the BEST STEP among the 14 STEPs established across the country. STEP SJCE provides services in the areas of Entrepreneurship, Skill Development, Consultancy and Continuing Education Programmes.

Innovative projects such as industrial design of a small Electronic Exchange equipment, cordless microphone, electronic choke for fluorescent lamps have been successfully completed. In collaboration with the Community Polytechnic, STEP is engaged in technology transfer to rural areas. About 350 smokeless chulas have been installed, besides putting up several biogas plants.

The Information Centre established by STEP offers its membership to industries. Reference volume standards, different types of Hand Books, Information on Industrial Policy, Industrial licensing etc., are available. Besides these, a computer data bank on Expert resources, Manufacturers Index, Supplier Index, etc. has established to cater to the members. The Information Centre is hooked up to the National Informatics Center Network through a NICNET terminal. The SJCE-STEP is now establishing a Quality Assurance Centre, in order to cater to the growing requirements of local Industries.

[edit] Extra Curricular Activities

The college has one of the best quiz clubs - The Greycells in Karnataka[citation needed] . The club was started by Jayanth Munipalli & Akshay Bharadwaj in 1999. The weekly quiz, (conducted till date) 'WeKuiz' is a huge hit. The SJCE students have twice won (2001 and 2003) the Times of India Ascent Quiz conducted by the Times Group in addition to numerous other intercollegiate quizzes held in and around the city[citation needed] . The college IEEE and CSI branches, wholly managed by the students are the most active student branches of the 2 organizations in the whole of the state of Karnataka[citation needed] .


IEEE-SJCE and CSI-SJCE chapters conduct several weekly events ranging from aptitude and technical tests to workshops, which greatly benefit the student. They also conduct annual technical fests which are attended by students from around the nation. The IEEE-SJCE conducts 2 fests, Tuxedo - A technical fest/symposium conducted during the odd semester and Cyberia - A technical /cultural fest during the even semester. The CSI conducts it's annual technical/cultural fest, Technologix during the even semester. A pure technical symposium to be conducted by the CSI during the odd semester is well in the pipeline. The official college magazine editorial board, JC ED is very active and keeps churning out creative masterpieces year after year[citation needed] . Their recent release had the name 'JayZine'(2007) and was a beacon of creativity and imagination. They also organize a yearly literary extravaganza called 'Shabd'. The college's annual fest 'Jayciana' is one of the popular student events in the state[citation needed] .
