Vidya College of Engineering is the one of the best engineering college of Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University (Formerly UPTU) located at Vidya knowledge Park Meerut.

Vidya's motto: “Learn not for exams but for life” defines us and our institutions in the best possible way. Vidya Knowledge Park is established with a global vision that makes it one of the leading institutions in the academic world. Its structure, design, facilities and quality of academic programmes carry those attributes that enable the students to achieve their hidden potentials in such a way that they can be compared to the best in the country. It proves that when the Western pattern of formal education gets grafted with Indian ethics and aesthetics, it attains a unique strength in our students and they learn to face the tough challenges in their professional world with are ease and expertise.

Whatever may be the area of their work, they reveal mastery in their vocation. It fulfills our fundamental goal that is to prepare them to perform and perform well at the same time. In other words, Vidya is an excellent preparation ground with positive, productive environment where the students learn to choose with their eye on the all round success. We transform the diverse young men and women into “organic intellectuals” in whom the intelligence and emotional intelligence groom the traits of their character and quality of leadership. It turns out to be more or less a magical experience. There is no reason why an educational experience which is the product of a holistic vision should not be so – actually magical.

Vidya students fully realize the worth of life and all living individuals, all schools of thought , and all cultures and religions because they are given freedom of self-exploration and self-expression, freedom to remain individuals with all diversity and still to be a part of the wider social order.
