IEEE UVCE has come to be perhaps one of the recognized student branches across the Region 10 of IEEE. Rekindled in 2001, the student branch has since grown to strength of over 200 student members every year. The year 2016-2017 witnessed the largest membership count of IEEE UVCE till date since the time of its birth which is a total of 257 members. The Branch Counselor of IEEE UVCE is Dr.P Deepa Shenoy, Professor, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, UVCE and the Student Branch Chairperson is Shaina Rachelle Noronha.
The organization’s commitment to enhancing and upgrading the core knowledge base of its members to the industry standards is reflected in the host of activities organized by it throughout the year. The calendar is marked by Kagada; the National Level Technical Paper Presentation Contest, Impetus; the Technical Fest and is filled with ample amount of workshops, symposiums, guest lectures and Industrial visits.
