It was founded in 1987 as Sathyabama Engineering College by Jeppiaar Jesuadimai, as an engineering-focused center.[12][13] The university was established to provide higher technical education to the Christian minorities residing in Tamil Nadu and other South Indian states. The patron saint of the university is St Anthony. It was formerly known as Sathyabama University, and was renamed as Sathyabama Institute of Science and Technology (SIST) in 2018. It received its deemed-to-be-university status from the Ministry of Human Resources Development in 2001, under Section 3 of the UGC Act, 1956.

Starting in the late 1990s Sathyabama expanded its curriculum to include courses in science, law and management. The dental college was established in 2009, and is one of the largest university medical centers in Tamil Nadu.[14]

Campus

The main campus at Sholinganallur was constructed above an old swamp, which has led to severe flooding during the rainy seasons. The campus has many white and blue buildings designed in concentric patterns, and includes 5 hostels for male students and another 5 hostels for female students.[15]

A secondary satellite campus was established at Sriperumpudur, to increase the student in-take.[16] It offers engineering and science courses with the same accreditations as the main campus. The two campuses are approximately 45 kilometers apart.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".

Location

The university is located in Sholinganallur, Chennai. It has a campus of 140 acres.[17] The campus is adjacent to Rajiv Gandhi Salai (formerly known as Old Mahabalipuram Road and popularly known as the "IT Corridor").[18][19] The university also obtained authorization from the Ministry of Education, on the recommendation of the UGC, to open a secondary satellite campus at Vadamangalam, in Sriperumbudur.
