In 1917, the then Diwan of Mysore, Sir M. Visvesvaraya, felt a need to have an engineering college in the state as the Civil Engineering College Madras and College of Engineering Poona were unable to accommodate enough students from Mysore State.
He started the college in 1917 in Bangalore as a School of Engineering with 20 students in civil and mechanical engineering branches in the PWD building. It was the fifth engineering college to be started in India and the first one in Mysore State. In 1965, the name of the college was changed to University Visvesvaraya College of Engineering after its founder.
