Annamalai University, one of the largest unitary, teaching, and residential
Universities in Southern Asia, was established and incorporated in the year 1929
as per the Annamalai University Act 1928 (Tamil Nadu Act 1 of 1929). Now, the
Annamalai University Act, 1928 has been repealed and replaced by the Annamalai
University Act 2013 (Tamil Nadu Act 20 of 2013). His Excellency the Governor of
Tamil Nadu is the Chancellor of the University.
The University is located at Annamalainagar, adjacent to Chidambaram town,

spread over an extensive area of about 800 acres has the Faculties of Arts, Science,
Indian Languages, Engineering and Technology, Education, Fine Arts, Agriculture,

This University has, since its inception, aimed at imparting education in all
fields of knowledge to thousands of students from across the country and abroad.
Located in a rural setting in coastal district of Cuddalore in Tamil Nadu, the
University has played a pivotal role in providing access to higher education to
thousands of youth from economically and socially disadvantaged classes. In this
respect, this University’s service to the nation is tremendous.
In past 87 years, the University has grown into a premier institution of higher

Research Group, 2012. Data source: Scopus. http://www.scimagoir.com).
The popular journal in India careers 360 has ranked Annamalai University to be

development of human resources. Numerous infrastructures have been created to
cope up with the voluminous increase in enrolment of students in various on-

have been provided to cater to the needs of the learners and researchers. Video

An Internal Quality Assurance Cell is in vogue to monitor the quality of academic
results. The departments of study conduct national and international seminars,
symposia, workshops and conferences to expose teachers and students of the
University to world class teaching and research. Students Progression Cell has been
created to coach students for taking Indian Civil Services Examinations. In keeping
with the national policy of public health, the concept of ‘No Smoking Zone’ has been
put into practice. A Student Welfare Cell, for on-campus students, has been set up to
promote personality development.
With a view of preparing the students for a bright career and to impart right
attitudes and specific skills, the placement cells are functioning in three different
locations, one to cater the needs of the students of Faculty of Engineering &
Technology, the second to cater the needs of the students of Faculty of Agriculture
and the third, in the Department of Business Administration, for the students of
Arts, Science, Education and Fine Arts. These cells advise students with regard to the
choice of careers and higher studies. They help students to undergo in-plant training
during semester holidays and also find suitable placement through campus
interviews. Seminars and training Programmes on Entrepreneurial Development and
Career Guidance are held periodically.
