About PSG College of Technology

PSG College of Technology is a Government Aided and Autonomous College. On 25th January 1926, a trust under the name and style of P. S. Govindaswamy Naidu & Sons’ Charities was founded. The Managing Trustee of PSG, Sri G.R. Govindarajulu and the founder Principal Dr. G.R. Damodaran founded the College in 1951. The College was located in the same campus as the PSG Industrial Institute for effective industry-institute interaction. It is named after Poolaimedu Sama Naidu Govindsamy Naidu (PSG). Recognizing the excellent infrastructure, faculty, progressive out look, high academics and record performance, the University of Madras was confident in the capabilities of the College, and PSG College of Technology was conferred Autonomous status in the year 1978, to update its own programmes and curriculum, to devise and conduct examinations, and to evaluate students’ performance based on a system of continuous assessment. The academic programmes are designed and updated by a Board of Studies at the department level and Academic Council at the College level. These statutory bodies are constituted as per the guidelines of the All India Council for Technical Education. The College is affiliated to Anna University and offers a total of 48 full time and part time programs in Science, Engineering and Management at UG & PG levels. The campus is spread over 45 acres of land, economically utilized for the College, Hostels, Staff Quarters, Play Fields and Gardens. The College has a close collaboration with industries, resulting in the cross fertilization of theory with practice.
