Are you planning to apply to the Kongu Engineering College? Well, if you are, then read on. This blog is here to help your decision-making process. For ease of access to key information, below I have put together a list of all the courses offered at KEC. But before we get there, let’s very briefly look at why should you choose KEC at all.
For starters, KEC is an extremely well-reputed school with over three decades of experience in the technical education field. Recognized internationally for its professional and career-oriented education, Kongu Engineering College prides itself on providing students with a blend of reason, passion, theory, and practice. KEC is also affiliated with Anna College in Chennai.
KEC describes its courses as connecting the spiritual and practical dimensions of intellectual life, within a supportive environment. I think that its vision and mission put these points together. To help you get a sense of what KEC’s core values are about, here are its vision and mission statements,
Vision: To be a centre of excellence for development and dissemination of knowledge in Applied science, Technology, Engineering and Management for the Nation and beyond.
Mission: We are committed to value-based Education, Research and Consultancy in Engineering and Management and to bring out technically competent, ethically strong and quality professionals to keep our Nation ahead in the competitive knowledge-intensive world.
In your final year, you will also be put through in-industry training. The campus placement training covers Human Resources, Technical, GD, C, C++ program, and a Written Test. This training is done in your pre-final year if you are an eligible candidate. Companies like Hyundai, Polaris, Accenture, and Tech Mahindra are part of KEC’s prominent recruiters.
Kongu also a bunch of cool clubs if you’re interested in extra circular activities. Some of these include a Photography Club, Modelling Club, and an Android Application Club! That last one sounds really fun!
I know, that was a rather brief statement to make about KEC. However, the purpose of today’s blog is to give you information on the courses offered. If you are still interested in learning a little more about KEC, check out their website. I would suggest doing so anyway, provided that KEC is in your list of schools to choose from.
