<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:larger;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[[File:Jntuk.jpg]]</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:larger;">'''&nbsp;'''''<b>Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University Kakinada (JNTUK)</b>'' was initially incepted with the name “'''The College of Engineering – Vizagapatnam” in 1946,'''&nbsp;spread over a sprawling campus of '''110 acres''' in the port city of Kakinada. The college became a constituent unit of JNTU Hyderabad in 1972. JNTUK has THREE Constituent colleges under its fold''': University College of Engineering (autonomous) Kakinada, University College of Engineering Vizianagaram and University College of Engineering Narasaraopet'''. JNTUK has nearly '''''268 affiliated colleges&nbsp;'''''under the jurisdiction of 8 districts.</span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:larger;">[[File:Foundationstoneucen.jpg]]</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:larger;">With the intention to provide quality and world -class education to the aspiring students of Guntur, Prakasam, Krishna and other near by nearby districts '''NARASARAOPET TOWN''' is selected to establish '''UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING (UCEN-JNTUK)''' in 2016. UCEN was established as per '''G.O.RT NO 122''' dated '''6-6-2016.''' In the very second year of its inception, the Andhra Pradesh state Government alloted '''''85.94 Acre land in Kakani village''''', 2Km from the holy hill Kotappakonda. The&nbsp;'''''design intake is 300 at 60 students per each of 5 branches''''', namely Civil Engineering, Electrical and Electronics EngineeingEngineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering and Computer Science and Engineering.&nbsp;</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:larger;">The College is temporarily located at '''NBT campus in Palnadu Road, Narasaraopet '''provided with both Boys and Girls Hostels in the center centre of the town. The institute is offering corporate and Industrial Consultancy Services for quality material testing, compliance reports and testing programmes. Institute encourages the students to participate in technical competitions held in premier institutes like IITs and NITs. Sports, games and yoga are practiced practised daily by the students.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:larger;">'''''UCEN Library is the temple of books.''''' Rs. 29 lakh was granted for the present Academic Year exclusively for the Library for Procuring technical books and about '''8000 Titles''' of General Books-Fiction, Autobiographies, Epics, Historical, and Competitive Exams are currently available. About '''150 Computer Systems'''&nbsp;with the latest configuration are procured for the State of art Computer Laboratory. Experienced and qualified faculty is the&nbsp; strength of the institute.</span></p>'''In Detai'''<span style="font-size:larger;">'''l'''</span> 

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:larger;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our college main mission '''"Is not to see students as job seekers but to see them as job creators".'''&nbsp;To achieve this vision our institution encourages students towards Innovation and Entrepreneurship. Our college collaborates with'''APSSDC''' (Andhra Pradesh State Skill Development Corporation) which offers a wide range opportunities to enhance skills and assists students in the fields of Innovation and Entrepreneurship. It comes up with various workshops and innovative programs to develop'''Andhra Pradesh state as Hub of Innovation '''and to prosper Andhra Pradesh as a top state in India.'''''UCEN is a hub of innovative and noval ideas.''''' Various workshops and novel programmes are initiated to develop individually and socially.</span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:larger;">'''Green technology concepts "wealth from waste" '''is one of the best task initiated at UCEN. Generally , in '''Chemistry Laboratory , '''we discharge out '''acids and bases "A neutralization tank"&nbsp;'''was constructed behind the Chemistry Laboratory to collect the effluents from the laboratory, an initiative probably the first in the country.&nbsp;</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:larger;">[[File:Neutralisationtank.jpg]]</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:larger;">Ours is a newly established college so there is a problem for '''basic infrastructural facilities'''. Our students have come up with a wonderful solution to use '''waste water bottles '''which are available in and around campus to develop seating benches. The bottles are filled with '''construction waste''' and they are used in the place of bricks as construction units which greatly reduces the construction cost and encourages the use of waste in construction.&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 14.4px;">As it is said that we can produce&nbsp;</span>'''"WEALTH FROM WASTE, DOLLAR FROM DUNG, MONEY FROM MUD."'''</p><p style="text-align: justify;">'''[[File:Principalsir.jpg]]'''</p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:larger;">[[File:Bottlebench.jpg]]</span></p>

<span style="font-size:larger;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; There is a famous saying “'''''Practise what you preach'''''”. UCEN provides eminent faculty who always promote research work .&nbsp;Backbone and pillar of UCEN Dr K V S G Murali Krishna , professor of civil engineering, principal of UCEN-JNTUK. He is the best teacher awardee -2015 by Governement of Andhra Pradesh. He is the member of SEAC(State Experts Appraisal Committee ),author of several books '''''“Joy of Engineering”, ”Environmental Studies”, ”Air Pollution and Control”, ”The Inspirer”, ”Women Who Inspired The World”''''' and many more. Above all , he is an orator and a public speaker. &nbsp;</span>

<span style="font-size:larger;">A very meticulous and down to earth person '''Dr N Balaji HOD''' and vice principal (administration) of UCEN. With his innovative ideas ,motivate students from all directions . Dr N Balaji, professor of Electronics and Communication Engineering filed several patents, published papers and international and national journals, guided Ph.D. PhD scholars , M.Tech students.</span>

*<span style="font-size:larger;">“An intelligent and intuitive signaling signalling system for motor vehicles to minimize road accidents” in “The Patent Office Journal”, Issue No'''.&nbsp;&nbsp; '''08/2015page no.26169 dated20/02/2015. Application Number: 5245/CHE/2012</span>

<span style="font-size:larger;">UCEN&nbsp; has an enthusiastic and dynamic training and placement officer '''''Dr. G. Madhavi, Asst. Prof of Computer Science and Engineering''''', has filed several patents in her name which are published in Indian Patent Journal and awaiting for granting in the research areas of Image Processing and Biometrics. They are:</span>

<span style="font-size:larger;">She also published 11 journals. We have directorate of '''''Faculty Development Centre''''' at our University headquarters to keep all our constituent colleges college's faculty updated with latest technologies.</span>

<span style="font-size:larger;">''&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; '''“Education is transformation”'''''. To enhance skills and knowledge transfer University collaborated with Foreign Universities through directorate the Directorate of '''FOREIGN UNIVERSITY RELATIONS''' which is a platform to transfer knowledge and technology vividly. &nbsp;APSSDC also acts as a carrier of knowledge transfer between many Universities within the state of Andhra Pradesh.</span>

<span style="font-size:larger;">''&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;'''&nbsp; “We are what we contribute”'''''<b>; </b>our college stands at the front row, when society needs us. There are a few glimpses which uniquely differentiates UCEN from other colleges are:</span>

<span style="font-size:larger;">·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In 2016 (Year when UCEN was established) Narasaraopet witnessed huge floods. Our college faculty and students approached the needy and distributed '''water packets and food packets.'''</span>

*<span style="font-size:larger;">UCEN JNTUK took a bright step when Government of India banned 500 and 1000 rupee notes. Faculty and students of UCEN organised&nbsp;'''''awareness campaigns in local villages and educated people on cashless transactions''''' through online banking.</span>

*<span style="font-size: larger;">Recently when Kerala faced the most devastating floods in the history of the state, our college students campaigned in Narasaraopet and created awareness among people to donate to '''CM Relief Fund of Kerala''' along with crowd funding through NSS with the motto of </span>'''''“Giving is living”'''''

*<span style="font-size:larger;">Though UCEN is at the budding stage, we excel in many aspects technically and academically. One of the things is organizing '''National Level Students’ Technical Symposia''' to show case showcase their ideas, projects and innovations. Three departments initiated fests in the month of September.</span>

*<span style="font-size:larger;">We also stand first in conserving nature and is achieved at early stages by establishing Rain water Rainwater Harvesting pit and pond.[[File:Rainharvestingpit.jpg]]</span>

*<span style="font-size:larger;">Under the NSS (National Service Scheme) wing, we perform a wide range of activities which are required for a better society to live in.</span>

<span style="font-size:larger;">As ours is a three -year -old college we may have less infrastructure and facilities. But we are blessed with&nbsp;'''great faculty''' who always encourages towards Innovation. We are encouraged to work on with every small Idea we have.</span>

<span style="font-size:larger;">&nbsp;We are also looking forward to solve in solving all the problems with the introduction '''''of peer to peer interactions and organizing students clubs''''' which improves communication skills and shows a platform to discuss ideas towards Innovation and finally mould them as Entrepreneurs.</span>
