The new campus will start functioning from January 2017. Currently, the institute is being operated through a temporary campus at National Institute of Technology, Trichy. Tamil Nadu government had allotted 170 acres of land for the construction of the new campus. The new campus will have an administrative block, student housing, staff housing, food court and other facilities. HRD Ministry has been funding the construction of the new campus.
The classrooms are being designed as per Harvard model where the classrooms are either bell-shaped or well-shaped. The library is being designed as a place of learning rather than a place of reading, thereby giving more comfort to the users.
