The institute, after it became a university, built the Ramanujan Block, Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Block, Mother Teresa Block, New Block, Ganesh Block and the hostel at the Kuvam river between Dr. M.G.R. Engineering College and Thaimoogambagai Dental College. A second campus was created at Arni. Controversy

In 2005 the government of Tamil Nadu demolished the Ganesh Block, as it was built in a public property illegally. The hostel in Kuvam was also demolished for a similar reason. and the students were sent home. Students were able to finish their courses on a shift basis, like part-time engineering students. In February 2006, the AICTE issued notice to all accredited deemed universities that their courses would not be recognized without prior approval from AICTE. The High Court finally delivered a clear verdict that accredited universities and university-level institutions do not require AICTE recognition. Since it is UGC recognized. AICTE notifications ceased and the student community was freed from the problem, since students were campaigning for recognition of their qualifications. Source
