Principal’s Message

Dr. D. Ramesh holds a Ph.D in Mechanical Engineering from IIT Madras (2006), a Master of Engineering with specialisation in Machine Design from PSG College of Technology, Coimbatore, and a Graduation degree from the Institute of Engineers (India), Calcutta. He cleared GATE in both 1996 and 1997, securing the 94th percentile — a marker of the academic rigour he brings to everything he does.

🎓 19 years of combined teaching, research, and industry experience have shaped his approach to engineering education — one that insists on depth, not just coverage. He has published 9 international journals, 5 national journals, and presented at 12 national and international conferences. He has guided and evaluated numerous B.Tech and M.Tech projects across disciplines.

✈️ Before returning to academia, Dr. Ramesh worked in the United Kingdom with Magellan Aerospace Ltd on the Airbus 370M programme as a Senior Fatigue Engineer — bringing firsthand industry experience into the classroom that few principals can claim. His research areas span fatigue analysis, surface coating, tribology, friction, and wear.

🏅 He is a Fellow Member of the Institution of Engineers (India) and received a scholarship from the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India, during his Master’s and Ph.D studies.

At VCET, his conviction is simple — an engineer must be trained to think, not just to answer. That belief shapes how we teach, what we demand, and what our graduates carry with them when they leave.
