About KCT

Kumaraguru College of Technology (KCT), Coimbatore is an Engineering

College started in 1984 under the auspices of Ramanandha Adigalar Foundation, a

charitable educational trust of Sakthi Group. It is situated in a sprawling campus of

150 acres in the IT corridor of Coimbatore which in many ways was a front runner

in the eco system.

association with industries and other reputed institutions, instruct outcome based

education (OBE) to students with up-to-date curriculum and content in harmony

with industry requirements and foster a spirit of entrepreneurship among students

to enable their own ventures. We are equipped with state-of-the-art workshops,

laboratories and computing facilities. Several of our graduates are occupying

responsible positions in various Industries like L & T, Mahindra, Pricol, TVS, and

Bosch and are holding responsible positions in premier educational institutes in

and outside India. The department has highly qualified and experienced faculty

members; many of them are with Ph.D. degree.

The department has a well-equipped integrated workshop facility which

caters the needs of various departments. The department being recognized as a

research centre by Anna University from April 2003 is actively engaged in

research and our thrust areas are Bio-Materials, Composite Materials, Welding,

Metal Cutting, Energy Engineering and optimization. The faculty members

actively engage in research and constantly publish papers in International and

National Journals. Guest lectures and industrial visits are periodically arranged for

the students to enhance their curriculum. We strive for all round excellence in

students, encouraging them in all extra-curricular activities.

The department has research projects funded by Department of Science and

Technology (DST), All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and Naval

Research Board (NRB) to the tune of more than 1 Crore for conducting research in

Biomaterials, Composite Materials, Welding and Metal cutting.

FROM THE HOD’S DESK
