, was granted autonomous status by UGC and Government of Tamil Nadu
with effect from the Academic year 1987-88. The Institution is currently an autonomous institution under Anna University.
The purpose of autonomy is to provide freedom for the institution to design its own curriculum and evaluation system to produce high quality engineers suitable to meet the current challenges of the industry and society. The syllabi are restructured and improved involving senior faculty of the institute, experts in various fields of specialisation and practicing professional engineers from industry. The revision is based on the feedback from the industry, employers, faculty, students and the current status of technology.
All the Departments are well staffed and well equipped to meet the needs of latest technological trends and International standards.The total Campus area is 28.0522 hectares. The Red Buildings in the campus houses laboratories for various departments. CIT has 40,000sq.m. of built up area for Academic and Administration purposes and all facilities for most of the sports and games. There are currently around 3000 students pursuing their technical education. There is a separate Library block, state of the art Auditorium, a Guest House, a Canteen, Hostel blocks and a Bank.
