Dear Sir/Madam
I wish you all a happy and prosperous 2013!
Well, in the last odd semester, many changes
were introduced, such as advancing the starting
time of the college by thirty minutes,
implementation of three hour tests for all the
students, special bridge and orientation
programs for the first-year undergraduate
students, an orientation program for new faculty
members, training of faculty advisors to identify
students with psychological problems, training
on first aid by St. Johns Ambulance etc.. These
changes have shown a positive impact on the
performances of students and the faculty
members. Moreover, two new post graduate
programs ME Applied Electronics and ME
Internal Combustion Engines, have been started
with full strength.

Also, I am proud to inform you that students were
admitted to the tune of 99% of our sanctioned
intake strength in both the UG and PG programs
in the current academic year. 82% of our
undergraduate students and 97% of our post
graduate students have been graduated in the
last academic year. In that, 90% of the eligible
students have been placed in industries. In the
research arena, 61 scholars have newly joined in
our 11 research centers. Two new projects were
funded by the DRDO and ISRO to the tune of
about 33.64 lakhs.
Our students have attended many national and
international conferences, and published papers
in journals and conference proceedings. Many of
our students have done outstanding co-
curricular work such as winning Microsoft Coding
contest, winning the Ambuja best student
chapter award for the seventh time, developing
new web applications etc.
The College signed MOUs with London South
B a n k Un i v e r s i t y, L o n d o n , Ge mi n i
Communications Ltd., Chennai, Western-
Thompson Research Institute, Chennai and
Rajalakshmi Engineering College to have better
co-operation with institutes and industries for
training and research. Many of our sports teams
have brought laurels to the college. The above
achievements are detailed in the following
pages.
The College has initiated incentives to faculty
based on overall pass percentage in subjects
handled by them and for the best UG and PG
projects mentored by them. A plan to enhance
the PhD allowance is in the pipeline. The college
has distributed subsidized laptop computers
worth Rs 15 lakhs and scholarships worth Rs 40
lakhs to students in the odd semester and has
planned to distribute an additional 80 lakhs
worth of scholarships in the even semester.
All the above alluded achievements have
provided a grand start to this academic year and I
look forward to move to a higher level of
achievements in the years to come.
