2nd International Conference on Materials, Energy, Environment & Manufacturing Sciences - 2026

ABOUT SMVITM

Established in the year 2010, under the aegis of Shri Sode Vadiraja Mutt Education Trust, Udupi, Shri Madhwa Vadiraja Institute of Technology & Management (SMVITM) has emerged as a promising institution in the region. With its highly motivated and qualified faculty, excellent infrastructure and distinctive learner-centric facilities, the institute has become the most sought after engineering institute in the region. Adding a feather to its cap, SMVITM, was accredited by NAAC with A-grade.

Admiring the objective of providing valued-added and holistic engineering education to the needy students of rural belt at affordable cost, former President Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam made a prestigious visit to the college in 2014, and interacted with the students. Many other eminent personalities too have visited the college and appreciated its dedication towards education and research.
