Shri Shakthi Institute of Engineering and Technology aspires to inculcate in its youth, a strong
character and democratic discipline, and a willingness to 'change with continuity'- a present that is built on the
foundations of the past.
"Anation is built in its educational
Institutions. We have to train and build our
youth in them. We have to impart to them
the tradition of the future. This is precisely
what I dreamed to create through Sri
Shakthi Institute of Engineering and Technology," says Dr. S. Thangavelu,
Chairman at Shri Shakthi Institute of Engineering and Technology. This
institute is located in Coimbatore and is affiliated to Anna University of
Technology. Approved by the AICTE, this fledgling institute with only
10 years in existence has already been accredited by National Board of
Accreditation and currently has 12 UG programs and nine PG programs.
A nation is built in its educational

CHAIRMAN'S MESSAGE
Great efforts have been made in this institute
to keep students constantly updated in the
latest technologies. This is because in the field
of engineering it is understood that practical
knowledge of theoretical concepts is far more
important and useful to students in the long run.
With 10 Advanced Labs currently running, the
college offers trainings in, Ruby on Rails, Cloud
Computing and Mobile Applications Development
among many others. The college is also one in
only 47 colleges in India to have set-up LabVIEW
Academy in the campus. Lab View Academy has
trained 250 students and 20 faculty members from
Electronics and communication and Electrical and
Electronics branches. Students of this course even
get placements while faculty get trained in these
technologies as well. The college also ensures that
research activities take place within the college.
The recent focus on Research by the MHRD as
a major criterion for ranking of colleges has not
fazed the management of this institute. In fact, in
expanding the field of research, the institute signed
a MoU with Kyrgyz State Technical University
to establish an Indo-Kyrgyz IT Research and
Training Centre. The Departments of Physics and
Chemistry have been recognized as Centres for
Research by Anna University and thus the faculty
provide guidance for research scholars. So while
the institute follows the prescribed curriculum set,
the management endeavours to add as many add
on courses for students to keep them updated with
latest technologies.

Review
Thus, while many institutes
struggle to place their students, Sri
Shakthi Institute of Engineering and
Technology is able find employment
for most of the eligible students in
some of the biggest companies in
the industry. This is also due to the
efforts made by the management to
forge connections with the industry.
The college also provides training
to the students to prepare them for
the placement processes. Through
numerous programs the placement
cell provides training and guidance
to students. The cell also actively
seeks industry visits and training for
all final and pre-final year students.
Another objective of the cell is also
to source out training programs that
would be beneficial to the students. In this regard the institute has been
quite dedicated and as such some
of the major recruiters from the
college include Mahindra, Infosys and
Accenture.
Students who have no interest in
placements but wish to venture out
into the field of entrepreneurship
are also provided the resources they
need to move ahead in the field. With
the Entrepreneurship Cell primed at
inspiring students to enter into the
field it organized a national level b-plan
called IGNITE'15 to inspire the spirit
entrepreneurship in all the students.
The finalists of the IGNITE'15
have been connected to Nativelead
Foundation which, jointly with Sri
Shakthi Institute of Engineering
and Technology has planned for an
IMPACT ENGAGEMENT training
for the students. The aim of the
impact engagement program is to
identity 60 students through a trispark
workshop and to enable in
them the skills of Entrepreneurship,
Intrapreneurship and Innovation.
The college also actively
encourages extra-curricular activities
and has placed particular focus on
sports. With the Olympian BhaskaranSri
Shakthi Hockey Academy open
for students, the aim is to encourage
the nurturing of young talents in
the field of Hockey. The institute
intends to start new programs such
as food technology, biotechnology
and bio-medical engineering among
others. The institute is also opening
its doors to foreign students for the
2016-2017academic year. In the
future, the college aims at autonomy
and gaining university status. With
a management committed to its
students anzd led by the Chairman Dr.
S. Thangavelu, this college will fulfil
its vision of being one of the nation's
great engineering schools.
