Dr. Pradeep P Thevannoor Learning Resource Centre
Overview
Established in 2001, the Central Library of SCMS School of Engineering and Technology (SSET) underwent a benchmark transformation in 2016. Relocated to a sprawling, nature-friendly, and fully centralized air-conditioned facility spanning 2310 m2, the library was rechristened as the Dr. Pradeep P. Thevannoor Learning Resource Centre (PPTLRC) in honor of our visionary former Vice Chairman, Dr. Pradeep P Thevannoor.
Recognized as one of the finest self-financing engineering college libraries in Kerala, PPTLRC serves as the campus’s intellectual heart. The facility offers an Open Wi-Fi enabled environment integrated with state-of-the-art RFID technology for seamless automated transactions, alongside customized for Divyangjan (differently-abled) users.
