Message :

            Tontadarya College of Engineering (TCE) though located in a geographically disadvantaged place like Gadag, has many advantageous features to students and society. The institute is run by a religious head his Holiness Dr. Tontad Siddhaling Mahaswamiji of Jagadguru Tontadarya Math Gadag - Dambal - Yedeyuru. Swamiji has a greater concern about the future of economically & socially backward, rural students of this part of Gadag, Koppal, Hospet, Haveri and Dharwad districts of North Karnataka in particular and India in general.

            Swamiji practices what he preaches and a true promoter of Basava philosophy. TCE Gadag is functioning on these strong philosophies of Swamiji to take technical education to the door steps of poor & meritorious students at a very affordable fees. I strongly believe and recommend TCE should be your institution of choice.

            Wishing you a great prosperity.
