Postgraduate offerings, where available, generally include Master of Engineering (M.E.) specialisations and a Master of Business Administration (MBA) programme aimed at preparing graduates for managerial roles in technical industries.
The academic calendar follows the semester pattern prescribed by Anna University, with internal assessments, laboratory work, mini projects, and a final-year project forming part of the evaluation. Students are required to complete industrial training and internships as part of the curriculum.
The campus houses classrooms, departmental laboratories, computer centres, a central library, seminar halls, and administrative blocks. Laboratories are organised by department and are equipped to support the practical components of the syllabus prescribed by the affiliating university.

Admissions to undergraduate engineering programmes are conducted in line with the procedures laid down by the Government of Tamil Nadu and the Directorate of Technical Education (DoTE).

The remaining management quota seats are filled by the institution under the rules applicable to self-financing colleges.
Admission to postgraduate engineering programmes is generally based on TANCET scores followed by counselling, while MBA admissions also use TANCET as the qualifying examination.
