• Delete I would have speedied it since except for the lede it's 100% copyvio directly from the website. No appearance of notability, blatantly promo. JamesG5 (talk) 10:12, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Per nomination.S. M. Nazmus Shakib (talk) 08:12, 25 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Accredited degree-awarding tertiary institution. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:46, 25 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Pn tham has revised to eliminate copyvio and promotional language, and I have done some minor cleanup of bare URLs and formatting issues. My !vote to keep, though, is based on understanding that approvals by national accreditation agencies and national technical councils, and official affiliation with Anna University constitute significant, substantial, reliable, independent, verifiable secondary sources. The "passing mentions" represent a rigorous process of ensuring quality of a college's programs, faculty, accountability, and support for students' education. That, and inherent difficulties finding indexed publications for international sources, lead me to rely upon evidence of regional accrediting and technical councils as sufficient for notability.

• Keep: it is a degree college. Article is cited with the sources. Passes WP:N. GargAvinash (talk) 23:55, 1 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete unless reliable coverage can be found in independent sources, I'm not finding it. I don't accept the argument that accreditation creates an independent source. Schools are not exempt from GNG. buidhe 00:43, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per the RFC on outcomes of educational institutes. This is a private college with nothing noteworthy. KartikeyaS343 (talk) 16:26, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • That highly controversial RfC only applied to secondary schools, not degree-awarding tertiary colleges. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:16, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Fails WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES due to lack of references. My WP:BEFORE search yielded nothing. 4meter4 (talk) 00:53, 4 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
