== History==
Incepted in 1958 by Sri [[Karumuttu Thiagarajan Chettiar]], the Sona Group of Institutions is situated in Salem which is a few hours drive from the southern metros and well connected by rail and road making it an ideally suited destination for technical [[education]], training and research. The group has in its fold Thiagarajar Polytechnic College, regarded as India’s best polytechnic, and Sona College of Technology ranked among the top five private technical institutions in [[India]].


The [[National Institutional Ranking Framework]] (NIRF) ranked it in the 151-200 band among engineering colleges in 2024.<ref>{{Cite web |title=NIRF Ranking 2024 |url=https://www.nirfindia.org/nirfpdfcdn/2024/pdf/Report/IR2024_Report.pdf}}</ref>
It is only the vision and drive of Sri. Karumuttu Thiagarajan Chettiar that has made Thiagarajar Polytechnic College what it is today. Started humbly in a building owned by [[Governor General of India]], Sri [[Rajagopalachari]], Thiagarajar Polytechnic College was inaugurated by President [[R. Venkataraman]] who also graced its silver jubilee celebrations. The crowning glory of its golden jubilee celebrations in 2010 was the distinguished presence of [[Dr. A.P.J Abdul Kalam]]<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-tamilnadu/Golden-jubilee-celebrations/article16530333.ece| title =
