A major objective of this Institution is to plan and implement a programme of education in Engineering and Allied Sciences in order to promote research, to disseminate knowledge and to foster cooperation and exchange of ideas between the academic community and industrial organizations and to develop entrepreneurship skills among students. It strives to achieve academic excellence along with the harmonious development of personality of students.

The Governing Council, which is the Apex Body for the governance of the college, is chaired by well-known industrialist and philanthropist Dr. A.C.Muthiah, Chairman, SPIC Ltd. Under his guidance, the college has progressed phenomenally. In a span of the two decades, there has been an all round development in infrastructure and research and academic activities.

Twenty two batches of students have passed out of the College. Many of them have completed their Masters Degree. Several of our Alumni have completed PhD and work in prestigious US and Indian Universities. Many work in reputed companies like General Motors, Microsoft, CISCO, GEC, Infosys, TCS, CTS, HCL, TVS, Hindustan Motors, etc. A few are entrepreneurs.

The College is situated in an area of about 94 acres at Pennalur, Sriperumbudur, with excellent infrastructural facilities that include instructional buildings, laboratories, workshops, faculty rooms, office, conference hall, dispensary, technology innovation centre, staff quarters, guest house, open air auditorium, library, canteen, hostels, swimming pool, RO plant, gymnasium, indoor sports facility and play grounds.
