Chennai, January 01: Through a distinctive blend of medical, dental, and engineering disciplines coupled with cutting-edge infrastructure-SIMATS has cemented its position as a sought-after partner for groundbreaking projects across India and around the globe. By effectively utilizing taxpayer funds and pioneering high-tech facilities unlike any other in Asia, the University has emerged as both a national pride and a global powerhouse in research and innovation.

Central to this success is the University's transparent budgeting and rigorous project selection. This methodical approach not only boosts India's global research footprint but also exemplifies how judicious financial practices can drive high-impact outcomes.
