Lead Growth. Shape a Movement. Redefine Education.

Meenakshi Sundararajan Group of Institutions:

Prof K. R Sundararajan, a well-known educationalist established the I.I.E.T society in 1947. The total area of 14 acres purchased with enormous hardship was donated to the IIET Society to further the cause of education. The society's main objective is to give quality education and has ensured this uninterrupted since 1951. The society currently has the following institutions :-

1. Meenakshi College For Women established in 1975 & affiliated to University of Madras offering Arts & Science programs with about 3000 plus students.

2. Meenakshi Sundararajan Engineering College established in 2001 & affiliated to Anna University offering engineering programs with about 2000 plus students.

3. Meenakshi Sundararajan School of Management established in 2000 & affiliated to University of Madras offering MBA programs with about 120 plus students.

4. The NEST School established in 2022 offering IB (International Baccalaureate) & CAIE (Cambridge) boards.

The institutions are defined by two keywords "Industry Ready" & "Vibrancy". Creating a new generation of self-actualized learners is our raison d'etre. If children are our future, then education is the key to their future. When education is shaped around them, and not the other way around, we are laying the foundation for a future/world where creativity, diversity and caring, independent-thinkers thrive. Our curricula thrives on continuous learning while interacting with and incorporating real-world situations and challenges.

We're looking for a strategic, data-driven Admissions & Marketing Lead to scale our impact and shape how the world experiences our brand.

If you're a visionary who loves numbers as much as narratives — someone who thrives on insights, systems, and strategy — this is where you'll do your most meaningful work.
