, founded in 1925, and the Jesuit Institut Catholique d’Arts et Métiers, founded in 1898 in Lille, France, entered a joint venture to found an engineering college in Chennai which would prepare Indian students to work in European industries and European students to work in Indian industries. Pursuant to this agreement, the

of Madurai Province founded Loyola-ICAM engineering college at the Loyola College campus in 2010. It was officially inaugurated by Kalaignar M. Karunanidhi on 27 October 2010. Based on principles of the Jesuit Ratio Studiorum with its humanistic emphasis, the study program aims at comprehensive personal development and at the ability to work as a team, develop communication skills, appreciate cultures, and be sensitive to ethical and social issues. In July, 2024 LICET became an autonomous college within less than 14 years of its prestigious existence. It continues to be an affiliated college of the Anna University and is autonomous in the sense that it is free to frame its own courses of studies and to adopt innovative methods of teaching and evaluation.
