JSS Science and Technology University is a private university in Mysuru, Karnataka, built on the academic legacy of Sri Jayachamarajendra College of Engineering. SJCE was established in 1963 and developed into one of the prominent engineering colleges associated with JSS Mahavidyapeetha. The university was established in 2016, and SJCE became its constituent college from the 2016-17 academic year, creating continuity between a long-standing engineering institution and a newer university structure. JSS STU focuses on science, engineering, technology, management, computing and research. The university's academic ecosystem includes multiple engineering departments, postgraduate study, computer applications and doctoral research, supported by laboratories, industry collaboration and innovation activity. Its role within JSS Mahavidyapeetha links the university with a broader education and social-service organization whose institutional reach extends well beyond engineering. The university's history is therefore best understood in two layers. The first begins with SJCE in 1963 and more than five decades of engineering education. The second begins in 2016, when JSS Science and Technology University created a broader degree-granting framework around that legacy. This transition allowed the institution to expand interdisciplinary research, university governance and academic offerings while retaining SJCE as a central constituent. Research scholars, partnerships and technology-oriented programmes have since strengthened the institution's profile. The university continues to combine the established culture of SJCE with a wider science-and-technology university mission in Mysuru. SJCE's engineering legacy gives JSS STU institutional depth that predates university status by more than five decades. The university is the second university established under the wider JSS Mahavidyapeetha education ecosystem. Built on the legacy of Sri Jayachamarajendra College of Engineering established in 1963. Its institutional identity connects a 1963 college legacy with the broader university framework created in 2016. Pre-2016 phase — SJCE operated as an established engineering institution within the Karnataka university-affiliation system.
