Genesis of Mount Zion Christian Educational Trust in 1988 paved way to fulfill the aim of providing quality education in
the educationally backward district of Pudukkottai, Tamil Nadu.
The Trust started a school by name "Mount Zion Matriculation
Higher Secondary School" in 1988. Though a humble beginning, it has
grown tobe the best school in Pudukkottai District. It regularly
produces top rankers in the district and state in the X and XII
standard board examinations. It also holds the distinction of
having sent the highest number of students for higher studies in
Medicine and Engineering into high ranking colleges purely on the
merit basis.
The second milestone was achived as the Trust decided to start an Engineering
college in the year 2001. Mount Zion College of Engineering and
Technology came into existence in 2001 with affiliation granted by
Bharathidasan University. The college blossoned with
three branches namely B.E - Computer Science
& Engineering, B.E - Electronics &
Communication Engineering and B.Tech - Information Technology.
At its inception, the intake of the college was 180 students and
it has increased to over 1500 students
now. The college then got approval for B.E -
Electrical & Electronics Engineering in 2005. Later, B.E -
Aeronautical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering was added in
2008. In 2009, B.E - Civil Engineering was approved. It
is now one of the most reputed engineering colleges in this vicinity
by virtue of its campus placements. Mount Zion College of
Engineering and Technology since its inception it has been placing
the highest number of students into top notch Multi National
Companies among engineering colleges in the region.
Mount Zion also has one of the largest
campuses among engineering colleges in the area. It is located
