It is my most pleasant privilege to welcome the budding youths aspiring to become engineers of tomorrow, to this temple of learning - Nehru College of Engineering and Research Centre (NCERC) at the sacred and enchanting place Thiruvilwamala. The visionary management of this college has built up enviable infrastructural facilities at the campus with excellent laboratories, work shops, computer center, library etc. We have also a proper mix of very experienced and young faculty members. Our objective is to train you not only in your proposed field of specialization, but also in ethical and value systems, management practices etc, so that you become not only an outstanding engineer, but also a very good human being ready to serve the Nation for overall development as envisioned by our first Prime Minister the great Pandit Nehru, whose name the college has adopted in the true spirit. As our former President Dr APJ Abdul Kalam dreamt of a truly developed India by the year 2020, all of you will be significantly contributing to the realization of his dreams. We will give enough inputs and coaching to you to become outstanding leaders. While we will take care of each of you like our own children giving you our love, affection and encouragement, we will expect perfect discipline and hard work from you.

 

Your predecessors have set up a great tradition by winning the much coveted University Ranks in the final examinations - 7 Ranks in 2 years. We expect you not only to maintain this, but also to improve upon it. We will be always ready to render all assistance to you in this regard.

 

Let me once again welcome all of you most endearingly to our lovely campus to have a very educative and enjoyable stay with us.
