In September 2018, Dr. SN Subramanian, chairman of the SNS Group of Educational Institutions, was involved in a widely publicized controversy following the leak of a hidden-camera video appearing to show him sexually harassing a female staff member. [1] The victim filed a formal complaint at the All Women’s Police Station (AWPS) in Thudiyalur, alleging a prolonged period of harassment. [1]
The revelation sparked immediate disciplinary unrest, culminating in a large-scale student strike at the college gates. More than 300 students, supported by the Students' Federation of India (SFI), blocked the main entrance and the road in front of the college to demand stern action against the chairman. [1] The strike escalated into violence, with protesters hurling stones and smashing window panes, eventually requiring police intervention to allow 15 college buses to exit the premises after they were blocked at the gate by striking students.

In October 2022, a cultural event organized at Dr SNS Rajalakshmi College of Arts and Science to celebrate its silver jubilee became a subject of controversy regarding safety protocols and crowd control. [2] Despite an attendance of approximately 10,000 students, local police stated that the organizers had failed to take necessary steps to manage the influx of people. The police further noted that they had neither formally approved nor denied permission for the event, highlighting a lapse in administrative coordination that led to a chaotic environment during the performance of music director Yuvan Shankar Raja.

In June 2024, a violent incident occurred at the SNS College of Technology main gate , where students were assaulted on campus. Six individuals, including a minor, were arrested by the Coimbatore police in connection with the attack. [3] The investigation revealed that the attackers had utilized outsiders armed with weapons to carry out the assault on fellow students, leading to significant concerns regarding campus security and the monitoring of unauthorized individuals on institutional premises.

On July 28, 2025, five students from a SNS engineering college in were involved in a serious road accident when their sedan crashed into a tamarind tree on the Coimbatore-Sathyamangalam Road. [4] The students, who hailed from various districts, sustained multiple injuries and were hospitalized for treatment. The vehicle sustained significant damage upon impact during the late-night incident and the students were believed to be under alcohol and drug influence. [4]
On March 3, 2026, severe safety violations occurred during an 'Auto Show' event held at the institution's technology campus. [5] During the exhibition, while students were performing stunts with modified vehicles, a Thar Jeep lost control and crashed into more than ten two-wheelers parked in the vicinity. [6]
Two female students standing nearby narrowly escaped with their lives during the crash. Following the viral spread of the incident's footage on social media, the institution faced intense public backlash. [7] Netizens and social media users accused the college management of organizing such dangerous stunt events primarily to gain social media views and promotional visibility at the expense of student safety. [5] Further criticism was directed at the lack of adequate safety barriers or supervisory officials present during the high-speed maneuvers.
