"In the vast treasury of knowledge, the library stands as a sanctuary, guarding the precious gems of wisdom, waiting to unveil the secrets of countless worlds to those who seek its embrace." The library is the heart of any educational institution, providing a wealth of knowledge to its students and staff. The Library is located on the 2 nd floor, at the centre of the main building of Agnel Technical Education Complex Our library has a student centric approach and we provide Quality Knowledge Dissemination and Applications through various platforms. The reference section is comprised of the Books Section, a Periodicals Section, a Project Report Section, a Newspaper Section, and an Indian Standards Section, with a system of open access to all users that can be used by 80 students at a time.
