Anna University Regional Campus - Coimbatore

Anna University Regional Campus, Coimbatore is a regional campus of Anna University, established on 1 February 2007 as part of a split of Anna University into six separate universities, including Anna University, Coimbatore. In 2010, it was renamed Anna University of Technology, Coimbatore. On 14 September 2011, a bill was passed to merge the split universities back together, converting the institution into a regional campus of Anna University, which was formally established in 2012. The campus is situated on 130.33 acres of land near Bharathiar University; it initially operated from a temporary location in the Jothi Mills compound before moving to its current site. The regional campus offers full-time undergraduate and postgraduate courses and more than 40 degree programmes through its Directorate of Online and Distance Education. It also oversees a number of affiliated colleges, including government colleges such as Government College of Technology, Coimbatore, government-aided colleges like PSG College of Technology, and numerous self-financing engineering colleges across the region, such as Kongu Engineering College and Sri Ramakrishna Engineering College.
