History

The Amrita School of Engineering, Coimbatore was established in 1994, in an obscure village of Ettimadai at the foothills of Bouluvanpatty ranges, about 20 km away from the Coimbatore city. It was the first higher educational institution to be set up by the Mata Amritanandamayi Math, which at then had only 120 students and 13 faculty members. As Amrita's first campus, the Coimbatore is still home to the administrative headquarters of Amrita University.

While the Bengaluru campus sits in Kasavanahalli, a neighbourhood in south-west of the Bengaluru metropolis, the Amritapuri campus was set up in the village of Vallikavu, next to the international headquarters of the Mata Amritanandamayi Math.

In 2003, Amrita Vishwa Vidapeetham became one of the youngest universities to be conferred the status of a deemed university.

In 2019, an engineering school started operating in the newly established Chennai campus, at the outskirts of the Chennai city in a small village of Vengal.

In 2021, an engineering school started operating in its new campus at Amaravati the capital city of Andhra Pradesh state.
