KOLKATA: Techno India University hosted the University Esports Championship (UEC) 2025 National Finals, the biggest stage of university esports in India.
From 3 to 5 August, Kolkata became the epicentre of collegiate esports as over 200 finalists from 25 of the nation’s top universities battled across four electrifying gaming verticals — PC, Mobile, Console, and VR — in front of thousands of roaring spectators. This season witnessed 20,000+ students competing nationwide, with only the elite making it to the grand stage to fight for glory through UEC’s pan-India qualifiers.
Adding to the prestige, the Hon’ble Minister of Sports and Youth Affairs, Government of West Bengal, Shri Aroop Biswas, unveiled the official UEC 2025 jersey in a landmark moment for the championship.
For the first time, the UEC National Finals also doubled as the battleground for the World Tennis Esports Championship (WTEC) India Finals, powered by Tennis Esports. Here, university champions faced professional esports athletes head-on in VR Tennis. Vimalraj Jayachandran emerged as the India Winner, securing his ticket to represent Team India at the WTEC World Finals in the USA this September.
NoScope Gaming CEO Ravi Achanta said, “Our mission has always been to bridge the gap between campus-level competition and the global esports stage, and UEC 2025 is proof that this vision works. The sheer scale, the quality of competition, and the passion we witnessed in Kolkata reaffirm that India’s universities are producing world-class talent. Sending Team India to the WTEC World Finals is not just a win for NoScope Gaming – it’s a milestone for the entire Indian esports ecosystem. We’re excited to keep building pathways that turn student-athletes into global champions.”
Techno India Group executive director Meghdut Roychowdhury shared, “The NoScope Gaming UEC 2025 National Finals have shown the world what Kolkata can do when it comes to hosting world-class esports events. This isn’t just esports – it’s culture, technology, and youth energy converging. And with the upcoming Esports Hub, East India is set to become a permanent fixture on the global esports map.”
