    All the degrees are awarded by VTU, Belgaum.

The Department of Mechanical Engineering was established in the year 1980 affiliated to Bangalore University offering four years under graduate programme in B.E., Mechanical. The department focuses on developing knowledge and skills in several areas of general mechanical engineering including computer integrated manufacturing. The department is now affiliated to Visveswaraiah Technological University since 1998.

The department is headed by an experienced leader with scholarship, well assisted by qualified and dedicated faculty members. The faculty members have specialized in Materials Technology, Design Engineering, Production Engineering, Thermal Engineering and CAD/CAM areas.

Excellent academic and research environment exists ensuring imparting of high quality education to U.G. students. The department has well equipped laboratories to cater to the needs of the U.G., P.G. and Ph.D. students.

The department has established linkages with various Research Organizations/Industries to get the expertise of the experts from such organizations for the benefit of our student and staff members.

Further the department organizes continuous education programmes by way of technical lectures, seminars and workshops on relevant areas to ensure bridging of the gap between academic syllabus and the industrial practices. Visveswaraiah Technological University has recognized the department as the research centre for awarding Ph.D./ M.Sc. Engg. by research.

The research centre is progressing with research contribution in the form of many Technical papers in reputed National and International Journals and Conferences. The Department also offers M.Tech. programme in Manufacturing Science and Engineering.

The Mechanical Engineering Department has organized several continuing educational Programmes/Seminars/Workshops for the benefit of teachers of various Engineering colleges as well as working professionals from Industries.

The department is fortunate to have the services of Dr. A. Ramachandra, Principal and Dr. C.S. Ramesh, Professor & Director, Research centre who are known as faculty of expertise in the field of Mechanical Engineering through out the state of Karnataka.
