Academics: Since its inception 2007, ACE engineering College has been investing its energies on singular focus of Education for empowerment of all. Engineers make societies. They are the architects of Civilizations. ACE believes that every student who joins the stream of Engineering education is not just an individual aspiring to make a career but a responsible and professional. Very well aware of this, ACE adopted and implemented the never-failing skill-reskill-upskill model of pedagogy.

Skilling for Academics-Skilling of the students is a continuous phenomenon that focuses on building strong fundamental concepts in engineering subjects through University prescribed syllabus. Students are monitored and guided to experiment on application of theoretical knowledge in their practical sessions to realize the function and purpose of the concepts. This ensures that the student meets the requisite academic standards in terms of aggregate to plan for a successful career. Laboratories are well equipped not just to conduct experiments prescribed in the syllabus but also to take-up and tinker with research related experimentation works.

Reskilling for employability: University curriculum is well supported by rigorous training programs for reskilling of the students in core competencies and to prepare them for employment readiness. The Butterfly, A novel training program is conceived and designed to impart employable skills in the students from first year of study itself.

The College

ACE Engineering College has been granted Autonomous Status by University Grants Commission(UGC) for a period of ten year with effect from Academic Year 2020-21. Satisfied by the quality academic practices in vogue in the College, UGC, the granting authority of Autonomous Status to Colleges has granted to the College on the recommendations of JNTUH to which the College is affiliated.
