The Lecture classes were conducted in the North Anjaneya Temple Street, in an old building. In the academic year 1954-55, it was shifted to the present campus. Workshops and Laboratories started / being equipped in the present campus of the B.M.S. Engineering College. As fully equipping the Laboratories was a time consuming affair, laboratory training was imparted in the University College of Engineering. The students took their practical examination also there. In a very short period all the laboratories and workshops were fully equipped and the University approved this college as a center for all examinations including the practical examinations.

Before this college was started, there was only one Engineering College in the state, namely the University Engineering College with limited admission strength. To the great number of aspirants, who could not take up engineering studies for the lack of availability of seats, this college opened a new vista of hope for a bright future. The students put their heart and soul into their work with great enthusiasm.
