The Institution of Engineers (India) is the national organization of engineers in India. The Institution of Engineers (India) [IEI] is the largest multi- disciplinary professional body of engineers, established in 1920 with its Headquarters located in Kolkata and incorporated under Royal Charter on 9th September, 1935 by the then His Majesty of King George V. Institution of Engineers (India) is a unique student chapter, comprising of various branches of engineering. The main agenda is to promote interdisciplinary engineering ideas across the institution which is ideal for the current scenario. The student chapter offers space for the current breed of students to showcase their leadership skills by becoming office bearers for every academic year. IE(I) also provides scholarship for the lesser privileged students every year. The IE(I), Coimbatore Local Centre has been one of the active centres of The Institution of Engineers (India) which is engaged in successfully translating the objectives and ethics of IE(I) into practices.

Research & Innovation cell (R & I) has been initiated in the department on 27 th of September 2017. The objective of the cell is to encourage students to find innovative and sustainable solutions for the day to day Problems that society is facing in terms of infrastructure. We have segregated various domains in Civil Engg (e.g. Transportation Engg., Structural Engg., & Environmental Engg.,), under which many unaddressed problems are listed out. Team of students will be working on those problems and find innovative & sustainable solutions for it. By this process they will be encouraged to present it to various events in India. By the end, with a faculty guidance publication are also encouraged.

The mission of this cell is to provide all-inclusive futuristic provision to students who are all willing to pursue higher educations in India and overseas. This Cell categorizes the Skills of Students for Higher Studies; accordingly, the Department organizes ‘Guidance’ through Lectures by renowned personalities so as to assist the students in making their right choice regarding the Subjects, Courses and Universities for Higher Educations.
Activities of higher education guidance cell:

• Every year survey will be taken from the students regarding their future plan.
• Based on the survey classes will be arranged to help the students in preparing competitive exams like GATE, TOEFL, GRE, etc.
• Profile building of the students through well experienced counsellors
• Conduct seminars through the consulate on Higher Education Abroad periodically.
• Encourage the students to learn foreign language and arrange classes in the campus

To inculcate the entrepreneurial spirit among the students of SKCET with a focus on emerging innovative technology with an international benchmarking to serve the society and the world at large. To become the center of excellence to motivate and enable the students to become entrepreneurs by developing novel technologies catering to current market demands and achieves success in initiating and developing their own enterprises. Entrepreneurship Development Cell (EDC) inspires the budding engineers to float their own business / venture through various seminars and workshops.
