The educational institution - Noorul Islam Engineering college - established with a humble beginning in the year 1989 with two under graduate engineering programs with intake capacity of 80 students, has now metamorphosed itself into one of the best educational institutions in the southern region of India offering 12 Undergraduate, 8 Post Graduate Programmes in engineering and Technology, one M.B.A program, one M.C.A program and 8 Engineering and Technology disciplines for pursuing the Ph.D degree. With an intake capacity of 3500 students in total with the following infrastructure facilities available in the university.
Having attained the status of a University now, the responsibilities of the Noorul Islam College of Engineering have become manifold and vision broadened and mission lengthened. The challenge that we have at hand now is the challenge of transforming the engineering education systems of India into a system of nurturing word-class quality in the human capital development side by side with the development of intellectual and knowledge capital to support the country's march towards economic and Industrial progress and development. Consistently commendable performance, constant endeavours to promote research and innovation, earnest efforts to foster linkages with the industry and community, imparting expertise in essential areas and achieving excellence are the hall marks of an university. The Noorul Islam University, besides achieving these hall marks will also strive its best to realize its avowed ambition of reaching greater heights and putting higher and technical education on the right path and thereby accelerate the economic and industrial growth and progress of our Nation.
 The Dept. of Mechanical Engg. was started in the year 1995-’96 affiliated to Manonmaniam Sundaranar University. From 2001-2002 onwards it is affiliated to Anna University Chennai. From 2007-2008 onwards it is affiliated to Anna University Tirunelveli. From 2009-2010 onwards it is affiliated to Noorul Islam Centre For Higher Education (NICHE).It is one of the largest and most respected in the South India, consistently achieving high ratings for teaching quality and research. Our undergraduate and postgraduate teaching combines with research and industry to create a dynamic and exciting learning experience from discovery and innovation to design and manufacture. The Department of Mechanical Engineering is internationally renowned for high quality research. At present, about twenty five research scholars are working towards their Ph.D. degree. The expertise of our staff covers a wide range of specialist areas and our mission is to carry out research in fundamental science through to practical industrial applications. The faculty members are grouped under three broad specializations - Design, Manufacturing and Thermal & Fluids Engineering.They have been engaged in research in all the classical areas of Mechanical Engineering and upcoming areas too. The academic activities are supported by 21 laboratories. The Department has decided recently to focus major research efforts in the following five areas: Computational Fluid Mechanics, Material Processing; Supply Chain and Logistics; MEMS , Mechatronics and Renewable Energy Sources.
