To provide clean and complete information regarding UP’s engineering colleges, eight engineering students joined hands to launch an online project – edgenroots.com.  These students have worked tip to toe for presenting the ranking list of almost 500 colleges under UPTU according to their placements, which is the main attention-grabbing part of this website.

 While demanding regularisation of services, the employees of Uttar Pradesh Technical University (UPTU) have warned the university authorities that they failed to fulfill their demand they will burn their degree certificates on April 14.

The Uttar Pradesh government has rejected the new UPTU entrance exams proposal that sought implementation of new norms for eligibility of candidates as well as the examination marking process.
