History
[edit]Sri Sivasubramaniya Nadar College of Engineering(SSN) was started in 1996 by Padma Bhushan Dr Shiv Nadar. The college was opened in 1996 at a temporary location in Thoraipakkam in the suburbs of Chennai, Tamil Nadu as an affiliate of Anna University. It moved to a 230-acre campus at Kalavakkam (Near Thiruporur) on Rajiv Gandhi Salai (Old Mahabalipuram Road, Chennai) in 1998. Shiv Nadar took an active role in the college activities, including gifting Rs. 1 million worth of HCL Technologies shares to the college. Starting from the 2026 academic year, SSN College of Engineering will be merged into Shiv Nadar University Chennai. It will be renamed as the SSN School of Engineering under Shiv Nadar University. Admissions will shift from Anna University’s counseling system to SNU’s entrance exam and interview process.
