The sun is shining brighter this summer, and the University of Engineering & Management (UEM) is getting more and more visible to the people across the globe. A journey not so big in length, has achieved heights in these 7 years, now being rated the topmost University of Rajasthan and West Bengal, ranked by the NPTEL examination initiative of the Ministry of HRD, Govt. of India in association with 6 IITs and the IISc Bangalore.

In 2017, the students of UEM emerged World Champions of IEEE USA Maker Project by developing an innovative gaming console out of e-waste. IEEE USA being the largest organisation in engineering across the world invites students’ projects from all across the globe, and amongst students all across Australia, America, Germany and many others, the accolade of being the toppers were achieved by students of UEM.

Developing their own All Terrain Vehicle, capable of running in different terrains, students of UEM themselves drove and raced on the same, emerging 2nd in state level in Mega ATV championship. Their own developed Go Kart, with which they also participated in such national platforms, emerged the champions at state level.
General Motors designed special appreciation for the vehicle developed by UEM students, which took part in the International Baja SAE Championship. The 3-D printer designed and manufactured by the students of the University were used in designing their own gears of another Mega All Terrain Vehicle, which won them the championship of the SAE India Convention – Zonal, 2018.
Today, when every alternate day, an alumni comes up with a call letter from Universities abroad, it comes back to the mind of the founders, the days of 2011, when the platform of glory was being established, and these accolades were distant dreams. The University was established in Jaipur in 2011 by Ordinance No. 11 of 2011, later promulgated into Act.

University has also received many DST (Department of Science & Technology, Govt. of India) funds for different such projects. On behalf of DST, UEM organises school meet programs all throughout the country in different states.
Best people deserves the best, and to give them the best, UEM has designed a syllabus in complete Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) model. Any student can choose any subject any semester, subject to completion of pre-requisites, and can thus opt to choose those subjects of study throughout the curriculum, on which he/she would like to focus his/her career.
