Polymer Technology is a unique branch of engineering in this part of the state. Polymer has emerged as an active discipline of Modern Science and Technology which has more demand in education and employment markets. The term "Polymer" consists of two closely related classes of material i.e. Rubber and Plastics.

      Offering Courses: Department of Polymer Technology stated in 1998 offers four years B.Tech Polymer Technology and two years M.Tech Polymer Science & Engineering. Polymer department has been approved as centre for research by Anna University, Chennai. Hence, Polymer department offers Ph.D programme too since 2010.

      Objective of the department: The objective of this program is to impart quality education to the students with high level coverage of emerging trends in Polymer technology that will enable the students to face the challenges to be met and make tomorrow's technological choices.

      Curriculum: Polymer Technology is highly dynamic, advanced and emerging interdisciplinary field. The curriculum has the balanced combination of chemical, mechanical and materials engineering concepts. The programme covers the entire area of polymer science and engineering from synthesis of polymers, characterization and testing to design and processing of plastics, rubber and composite products, including design and fabrication of moulds and products using advanced software such as Mouldflow, Pro-E, and AutoCAD. Classes emphasize hands on learning.
