02 About PMC Tech
Our History
PMC Tech’s story begins in 1996, when Er. P. Perumal founded a group of institutions in Hosur. The college of engineering followed in 2002, and in 2023 it became autonomous.
An institution should not only teach what the world knows today; it should give its students the confidence to learn, question and build what the world needs tomorrow.
