Tagore Engineering College (TEC) is a private, self-financing engineering college founded in 1998 at Rathinamangalam, Vandalur, on the southern edge of Chennai in Chengalpattu district, Tamil Nadu. It is not a university: it is a non-autonomous college affiliated to Anna University, Chennai, which sets its syllabus and exams and awards its degrees. It teaches seven AICTE-approved B.E./B.Tech branches and an MBA in English.
Tagore Engineering College (TEC)'s campus on the Vandalur-Kelambakkam Road has four academic blocks, department laboratories including an aeronautical hangar with aero engines, a machine shop, a computer centre, a library, an auditorium, a 150-seat air-conditioned mini auditorium (Bharathiar Hall) and an open-air auditorium. Its 2026-27 disclosure lists indoor games, a gym, outdoor courts and grounds for ten sports, a cafeteria, a bank and lifts and ground-floor classrooms for students with disabilities. The cultural festival is called YASHAS.

Tagore Engineering College (TEC) handles complaints through a grievance redressal committee: students first raise an issue with the head of department, who must respond within 7 working days, and can then take it to the committee. An SC/ST committee guides students to scholarships, slow learners get teacher guardians and remedial classes, and sports-quota entrants get fee concessions.
