Noorul Islam College of Engineering and Technology, located in Pookadai, Thiruvithancode, operates as a self-financing institution under the Noorul Islam Educational Trust. While established as a polytechnic in 1984, the college strategically transitioned into an Anna University-affiliated engineering institution in 2023. This evolution is supported by a Trust with experience managing university-level education, including a Deemed University, providing institutional stability for students entering through TNEA government and management quotas. To accommodate outstation families, the campus provides permanent housing through dedicated boys and girls hostels. For local day scholars, accessibility is maintained through college-operated transport and the proximity of Palliyadi railway station, located one kilometer from campus. These logistics provide a structured environment for the college’s six undergraduate programs, which include emerging branches like Artificial Intelligence and Data Science. The total AICTE-approved intake for these undergraduate engineering programs is 330 seats.
Walk-Through
College Overview Video
Hello and welcome. Today we're taking a closer look at Noral Islam College of Engineering and Technology located down in Kenyukumari district. Now, if you're getting ready for the Tamil Nadu Engineering Admissions or TNEA, the code you'll need for this college is 4986. Let's dig in and see what makes this place a pretty interesting option. So, what's the story here? It's actually quite unique. We're looking at what is for all purposes a brand new engineering college for the 2026 batch. But, and this is the key part, it's built on the solid foundation of a polytechnic that's been around for 40 years. You know, to really understand what this college is all about today, we've got to look back at its roots. For parents and students who might be a little hesitant about a new institution, this history, well, it provides a very important layer of trust and experience. And this timeline really tells the whole story, doesn't it? The journey kicked off way back in 1984 as the Noral Islam Polytenic College. Then fast forward a few decades to 2023 and it levels up to become the Noral Islam College of Engineering and Technology. So, what you're really getting is a long established educational legacy just in a new engineering college format. Okay, let's quickly break down the key facts. The full name is Neural Islam College of Engineering and Technology. You'll probably hear it called NICET for short. That TNEA code again is 4986. It's a self- financing college and crucially it's affiliated to Anna University in Chennai. The college is run by the Neural Islam Educational Trust. the very same trust that's been at the helm since 1984. As for admissions, it's the standard TNEA process. 65% for the government quota and 35% for management. All right, so with that solid 40-year foundation in mind, let's get to the main event, right? The engineering programs that are actually on the table for the 2026 admissions. This is what you really want to know. So, the big number you need to know is 330. For the upcoming TNA 2026 counseling, the college has a total of 30 than 30 approved seats across all its BE and BEC programs and here are the specific options you can choose from. The college offers six different branches and they were all started in 2023. You can see there's a heavy focus on tech with AI and data science, computer science and IT each having 60 seats. Then you've got the core branches ECE and mechanical also with 60 seats each. And to complete the picture there's electrical and electronics engineering with an intake of 30. Now for any college but especially a newer one. This next part is absolutely critical. We're talking about the official approvals. This is basically the seal of confidence that every parent and student should be looking for. And here you have it. All the engineering programs at the college have the green light from the allindia council for technical education or AIC for the 202526 academic year. This is that non-negotiable check mark that confirms the college meets the national standards. Okay, let's switch gears a bit and talk about the practical stuff. The day-to-day life on campus, what are the facilities like, especially if you're coming from out of town, right? So, the hostile situation. Good news here. The college has separate hostile facilities on campus for both boys and girls. And when it comes to food, the mess caters to different tastes with both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options available. And what about getting to campus? Well, that seems pretty straightforward, too. The college runs its own fleet of buses. And for anyone using the train, the Polyotti Railway Station is super close. We're talking just about about 1 km away, which is really convenient. Next up, something that's on every family's mind. Financial access. We all know cost is a huge factor. So, let's see what kind of government scholarship support is available for students here. So, if you're eligible, you can apply for a number of government schemes. You've got the scholarships force/stbc and DNC communities. There's the government of India scholarship for minority students. And really importantly, the first graduate scholarship is available for those who are the first in their family to go to college. Before we wrap this up, just a quick but important heads up. All the information we've gone through today is based on the data we found on the college's official website and government portals as of April 2026. It's always a smart move to verify these details directly with the college during your admission process.
