The KRCT Story
A rural promise. A national impact.
K.Ramakrishnan College of Technology was founded in 2010 with one ambition: to transform a quiet stretch of rural Tamil Nadu — Samayapuram, on the outskirts of Trichy — into a hub for engineering talent. Fifteen years on, that promise has been kept.
Today KRCT is an autonomous institution affiliated to Anna University, Chennai & approved by AICTE — accredited NAAC A+, NBA-recognised across multiple programs, and recognised as the Trichy zone's only TNSCST-sponsored IPR Cell. Our 8 departments graduate 700+ engineers a year.
