  One of the best government engineering college in tamilnadu. And it is the big gift to Coimbatore city also.. Because the students can able to utilise the good college in his own town.

  Ancient college with good reputation!!! Located 4 kms away from the coimbatore main bus stand. You can reach the place via auto or bus. Bus drops you infront of the college. Huge ground, campus surrounded with bushy trees and plants. College have bank and atm inside. Not impressed with canteen. We went to canteen during lunch time. They dont have anything except coffee, tea and juice. Felt disappointed!! Rest all are fine, well maintained go green campus.

  One of the oldest engineering campuses in Tamilnadu. Though Engineering bachelor degrees are the focus, the college is also known for its creative spirit. Since it’s government owned, not all facilities are great. The campus is huge and there are quite a few buildings inside.

  lovely environment. Most experienced teachers guide us to succeed in our life. The college has the good infrastructure and situated inside the city. There is a regular transport facilities to the college from Gandhipuram. There is a tourist attraction near the clg i.e., Esha yoga, Maruthamalai temple etc.. There is no ragging in the college campus.

  I had gone to this college to attend my TANCET MBA counseling..the college surroundings , campus is really good. It has a really big playground. It has a good parking space for vehicles. I don't know about teaching , since I didn't study here. There were certain drawbacks also. There was no proper canteen to serve food to the candidates who came for counseling. The rest rooms are not properly cleaned.
