Overview
About Dhanalakshmi College of Engineering
Dhanalakshmi College of Engineering is an engineering college in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, established in 2000. It is affiliated to Anna University, Chennai. Dhanalakshmi College of Engineering holds a NAAC grade of A, valid until 11/07/2029. Dhanalakshmi College of Engineering offers 11 programmes, 8 at undergraduate level and 3 at postgraduate level. These include B.Tech. Artificial Intelligence and Data Science, B.Tech. Information Technology, B.E. Computer Science (Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning), B.E. Computer Science and Engineering and B.E. Computer Science and Engineering (Cyber Security), among others. Dhanalakshmi College of Engineering (DCE), Chennai, is a self-financing, non-minority, non-autonomous engineering college (code 4107) affiliated with Anna University; Anna University's official list gives examination code 4107 and TNEA counselling code 1405. The disclosure reports 24 Science/Humanities/General Engineering faculty (1 Professor, 5 Associate Professors and 18 Assistant Professors), but it does not establish a complete college-wide faculty total, so no faculty row is returned. DCE's official research page states that it has been an Anna University-recognised Ph.D. research centre in Physics since January 2013. Parent hospital and clinical tie-ups are not applicable to this engineering college. Facilities such as laboratories were described, but no authoritative exact laboratory count was published in the reviewed evidence. Private, non-minority, self-financing affiliated engineering college managed by Dhanalakshmi Educational Trust. The 2026 mandatory disclosure states established 2000, while the 2023-24 AISHE disclosure states 2001; this is an unresolved source discrepancy. The AISHE disclosure states the institution is not autonomous, despite a conflicting current About-page description that calls it autonomous.
