01Kancheepuram
Kancheepuram district a town of silk, a belt of factories
Kancheepuram town is known for its silk saris and temples, and that trade still supports accounting, design and small-business software needs. Away from the town, the district’s eastern and northern belts around Sriperumbudur, Oragadam and Walajabad host global electronics, automotive and appliance plants.
Because the district sits between Chennai and Vellore, learners have two directions of travel. Many pick live online classes to avoid both, then turn up at a centre only for the project review at the end of a programme.
Where the jobs are
Walajabad and Sriperumbudur plants
Production and maintenance teams use PLC, electrical design and AutoCAD.
Colleges around the district
Engineering and arts students look for add-on certificates.
