SNS College of Technology

SNS College of Technology, situated in a rural area on Sathy (NH-209) Road in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, was founded in 2002 as part of the SNS Groups and is administered by the Sri SNS Charitable Trust. Established with permission from the Government of Tamil Nadu and recognized by the UGC, it operates as a self-financing, co-educational institution guided by the motto 'Sincerity, Nobility and Service.' The college is approved by AICTE and affiliated with Anna University, Coimbatore, and was granted autonomous status by Anna University, Chennai for the period 2018–19 to 2027–28. It offers fourteen undergraduate courses, six postgraduate courses, and seven Ph.D. research programmes across fields such as Mechanical, Civil, Electrical, Electronics, Computer Science, Information Technology, and Business Administration. Four departments—Mechanical, CSE, ECE, and IT—are accredited by the National Board of Accreditation (NBA). The institution has also faced several controversies, including a 2018 sexual harassment allegation against its chairman leading to student protests, a 2022 stampede at a related college's silver jubilee event, a 2024 campus assault case, a 2025 road accident involving students, and a 2026 incident during an auto show that drew public criticism over safety lapses.
