<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 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 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 Engineeing, 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 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 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 latest configuration are procured for the State of art Computer Laboratory. Experienced and qualified faculty is the&nbsp; strength of the institute.</span></p>

<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 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>

<span style="font-size:larger;">Our University has various '''Operational Centres''' to promote Innovation and Entrepreneurship:</span>

<span style="font-size:larger;">There are a few instances to say that our students are more oriented towards innovation.</span>

<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 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 .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;">''&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 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;JNTUK University has signed several MoUs with various industries to provide opportunities to students through directorate of '''''INDUSTRY INSTITUTE INTERACTION PLACEMENTS AND TRAINING'''''there by reducing the gap between industries and University.</span>

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