Sri Jayachamarajendra College Of Engineering, conceived in 1963, is the dream child of Jagadguru Dr Sri Shivarathri Rajendra Mahaswamigalavaru, the 23rd pontiff of Sri Suttur Mutt. It comes under the aegis of JSS Mahavidyapeetha, which is the primary institution of many such institutions. Now SJCE is a Constituent College of JSS STU. The institution also has the reputation of academics, excellence in professionally oriented programs, and equal proficiency in extra-curricular activities, which makes it a lucrative option for students from all over the country, especially those staying in remote places eyeing an engineering seat.
