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.
