UVCE is offering several undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral programmes in several branches of engineering.

Government of Karnataka thought it fit to upgrade the institution in the present day competitive environment to keep pace with the stakeholder expectations and to maintain its top position among engineering colleges in the country. In this respect, the Government had constituted a Committee under the Chairmanship of the Sri S V Ranganath, IAS (Rtd)., Vice Chairman, Karnataka State Higher Education Council, Bengaluru. The Committee in its report has recommended for converting UVCE into an autonomous "IIT like" institution on the lines of Indian Institutes of Technology, Indian Institutes of Management and other Institutions of National Importance; Therefore, it is considered necessary to declare and constitute the University Visvesvaraya College of Engineering (UVCE), Bengaluru, as the University of Visvesvaraya College of Engineering (UVCE), Bengaluru to grant autonomy with a view to empower the Institution to attain standards of global excellence in engineering and allied areas of knowledge.
