## Why students choose it

- Anna University lists the college under Tenkasi with examination code 9512 and counselling code 4994.
- AICTE approved all seven current undergraduate engineering branches for the 2026-27 academic year.
- The college publishes named computing laboratories, a library and a training and placement cell.

## Things to consider

- Tuition is not published as a current branch-specific amount; request a written fee schedule for the applicable quota.
- The documented TNEA route has nativity rules, and no general foreign-national route was verified.
- The website shows stale intake figures for AI and Data Science and ECE; use current AICTE/TNEA records.

## Best fit for

- TNEA-eligible applicants who want an Anna University-affiliated engineering degree near Tenkasi.
- Students comparing computing, electronics, civil, electrical or mechanical branches at one campus.
- Applicants willing to confirm tuition, campus logistics totals and current branch facilities before accepting an offer.

## Campus and city

The college is at College Road, Ayikudi. Its official library page lists opening hours of 08:00-18:00 on working days and during vacations, a DELNET digital-journal collection, and seven-day borrowing for students. The college also lists an NSS unit and technical symposiums; ask for a current campus visit if facilities matter to your choice.

Ayikudi is in Tenkasi district in southern Tamil Nadu. The TNEA 2026 college booklet places the campus about 5 km from the district headquarters and about 7 km from Tenkasi Junction railway station. Those are the booklet’s reported distances, not door-to-door journey times. Applicants comparing travel or daily commuting should verify their route from the specific hostel or home address.

J.P. College of Engineering is non-autonomous, so students follow Anna University degree regulations. The Computer Science page names operating systems, data structures, network programming, cloud computing, mobile application development and software engineering laboratories. The AI department names programming, machine-learning, analytics, deep-learning and natural-language-processing labs. Its training and placement cell says it coordinates workshops, career guidance and recruitment; the site does not establish a guaranteed internship or job outcome for any branch.


## Hostel, food and safety

The TNEA 2026 booklet lists permanent accommodation for men and women, with a mess for each. It states room rent of ₹2,000 and mess bill of ₹2,000 per annum, plus a ₹1,000 admission fee; these figures are unusually low, so obtain a current written total and confirm what they include. The college hostel page shows separate men’s and women’s facilities and lists security, water and power backup.

The 2026 TNEA booklet marks both vegetarian and non-vegetarian mess options for the boys’ and girls’ hostels. It does not publish a meal plan or confirm whether both choices are served daily. Ask the hostel office about the current menu and all charges.

The college’s hostel page lists 24/7 security, and the TNEA booklet publishes an anti-ragging phone number: 8012520500. Those are institutional facilities and contact details; check current hostel supervision and grievance procedures before moving in.

For admission or quota questions, the college lists principal@jpcoe.ac.in and 80125 20500. The placement cell lists placement@jpcoe.ac.in for training and recruitment support. TNEA counselling and certificate questions should be checked against the current government portal, because the 2026 registration window has passed.
