Entrance Preview
Admission is based on Tamil nadu government board exams through general counseling process. Good cut-off score in physics, Chemistry and mathematics is required to get in (usually over 196/200). I am very interested in how physics is transformed for day to day operations.

The college provides various opportunities, events organized by clubs like SAE, Mechanical engineering association and other departments. Cross department events were also organized and encouraged. The labs are a bit old though adequate.

Also the college asks some senior alumni to come as guest speakers and share their experiences to the students.
Exam Structure
Depending on the exam. All the labs were cool. However manufacturing exams left me with jitters but mathematics and thermal engineering papers left most others in jitters.
Faculty
Most of the faculties are good. However some faculties needed improvement. Most of the older faculties were very experienced and their teaching was great. Newer faculties did not have that much experience but were easily approachable by the students for any clarification / support.
