| EXCELLENCE IN FUTURE |
At a time when independent India's first hydro-electric dam project, the Hirakud Dam was nearing its completion in 1956, the first engineering college of the state of Orissa was established. On August 12, 1956 a long held dream of many prominent personalities (including the then chief minister of Orissa, Mr. Biju Patnaik) was fulfilled, just after 2 years of establishment of the IIT in Kharagpur. UCE started with only three departments (Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Engineering) with best technical facilities of that time and it still continues that heritage.HISTORY

University College of Engineering, Burla, the oldest and premier Engineering College of Orissa, is a constituent College of Biju Patnaik University of Technology, Rourkela. It ha already produced more than 10,000 graduate engineers and 2000 Postgraduates in different fields of Engineering and Technology. The college was founded on the 12th August, 1956 under Utkal University. In January 1967, the management of the college of Biju Patnaik University of Technology, Rourkela. The college is located at the foot of the world famous Hirakud Dam amidst beautiful surroundings of lakes and mountains. Burla is well connected to Bhubaneshwar and Kolkata with roads and railways. Sambalpur to Burla is 10 kms both by road and rail. Hirakud Railway station is only 2 km away from the college.
Since its inception, the college has made a significant progress. Initially, the college offered degree courses in Civil, Mechanical, and Electrical Engineering disciplines. In 1972, degree courses in Electronics and Tele-Communication Engineering was introduced. B.E. Courses in Information Technology was approved by AICTE and is being offered from the current academic session. Post-Graduate courses in various specializations started in Civil and Electrical Engineering in 1969. At present, the college offers P.G. Courses (both Regular and Part Time ) in Civil, Mechanical, Electrical and Electronics and Tele-Communication Engineering. Besides, the college also offers a 3-years Masters Degree course in Computer Application (MCA) since 1993. The syllabi have undergone regular changes to update and modernize the course content so as to maintain the level of technical education at par with other institutes of national repute. Facilities available for the enhancement of the standard of the technical education, sponsored research, consultancy programmes of industries and R&D sections of national organizations. Semester system is being followed for both Undergraduate and Post-graduate studies. Campus Interviews conducted by various recruiting agencies have created wide avenues of employment for graduate/postgraduate engineering students. A good number of students have been absorbed by various recruiting agencies through campus interviews. Further, students of this college have done extremely well in the GATE Examinations.
