Graduation Day Report

MVJ College of Engineering witnessed its 34th Graduation Day on 14.11.2021. MVJCE, positioned among the top 10 engineering colleges in Bangalore, Karnataka, has always aimed at enhancing our students’ skill development and thinking capabilities, which have in turn helped them achieve academic excellence, consistently. This year was no different – we take immense pride in informing that our students have achieved 14 ranks, 3 Gold medals in UG and 1 Gold medal in the PG Programme in the Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) examination.

MVJCE’s 34th Graduation Day marked another milestone too, as this year’s Graduation Day also had our first batch of post graduates. 74 students graduated from our MVJ Autonomous PG batches.

At MVJCE, Graduation Day is more than just a customary ceremony. It is a day of celebration when we laud all the hard work put in by our students and salute the efforts put in by both our students and teachers – efforts that have helped our students emerge as successful engineering graduates.

On the Graduation Day, the energy of our graduates was unmatched as they ushered in the most awaited event of their academic life amongst their friends and teachers in our college. The event began with a photo session of the students from each department, capturing their memories on camera, along with their HODs, sharing the stage one last time.
