The Sri Sai Ram group of institutions has a presence in school, engineering, polytechnic, arts and science, medical, and management education in and around Chennai. The Institute of Technology forms part of this larger educational network, sharing branding and administrative ethos with the better known Sri Sairam Engineering College, while functioning as a distinct affiliated college under Anna University.
The campus is situated on the western outskirts of Chennai, in an area that has emerged as an important cluster of self-financing engineering colleges along the Chennai–Bengaluru corridor. The institution draws students mainly from Tamil Nadu, with a smaller intake from neighbouring states and from the management quota.
The college offers Bachelor of Engineering (B.E.) and Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech.) programmes in core and emerging branches of engineering. Typical programmes at colleges of this profile include:
Postgraduate offerings generally include Master of Engineering (M.E.) specialisations and the Master of Business Administration (MBA). The curriculum, examinations and degree certification follow the regulations prescribed by Anna University, supplemented by internal continuous assessment.
Teaching is organised through departments headed by senior faculty, with laboratories supporting practical work in each discipline. Like most Anna University–affiliated colleges, the institute encourages student participation in mini projects, final-year projects, technical paper presentations and inter-collegiate symposia. Faculty members guide research scholars under university norms and pursue funded projects where applicable.
The campus typically includes academic blocks for departments, a central library, computing centres, engineering laboratories, seminar halls and an auditorium. Common student facilities include:
The library subscribes to print and digital resources, including journals and e-learning platforms commonly used by Anna University colleges, such as NPTEL course content and IEEE-style technical databases through consortia.
Admission to undergraduate engineering programmes is governed primarily by the TNEA counselling, which considers Class XII marks in mathematics, physics and chemistry. A portion of seats is filled under the management quota as permitted by the regulating authorities. Postgraduate admissions follow Tamil Nadu Common Entrance Test (TANCET) scores and Anna University counselling, while MBA admissions also use TANCET ranks.
The college follows reservation policies as notified by the Government of Tamil Nadu, including categories for Backward Classes, Most Backward Classes, Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes.
Student activities are organised through departmental associations, technical clubs and cultural committees. Activities commonly include:
