Annamalainagar is already a busy and full-fledged University town, east of Chidambaram, the abode of Lord Nataraja. The University campus, including the colleges, hostels, and playgrounds, occupies an area of about one thousand acres.

The National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) has accredited Annamalai University at the B++ (80 85%) level among the Universities.

ANNAMALAI UNIVERSITY Annamalai University is a unitary residential University formed under

The Annamalai University Act, 1928. This University is offering Post-Graduate and Professional Programmes in several disciplines, besides research programmes up to Ph.D., D.Litt./D.Sc. levels. It was founded by the munificence of the farsighted, noble-hearted philanthropist and patron of letters, the Honble Dr. Rajah Sir Annamalai Chettiar of Chettinad. The University started with only seven departments in 1929 has, over the last 84 years, developed into a mighty institution of higher learning with 49 departments of study. This is one of the very few institutions in India with all the Faculties located in the same campus. The University can boast of well equipped Central Library and Laboratories, providing very good facilities for taking up research projects, Doctoral, and Post-Doctoral works. Several Research Projects have been undertaken by various faculties, funded by several agencies of the State and Central Governments. A close interaction has been developed between the institution and the neighbouring industries for promotion of research and training programmes. Thus the University campus enjoys an atmosphere which exudes a fragrance of sweetness, heightened enlightenment. As aptly observed by the Indian Universities Grants Commission headed by Dr. S. Radhakrishnan, the Annamalai University is eminently fitted to be a genuine centre of learning and culture by virtue of its situation and its beautiful campus. The University is marching ahead proudly with an unmatched quality of education. This is evident from the reports of Ministry of Science and Technology (Measures of Performance of Universities in India: An Analysis of the publication Output in Science and Technology published by CSIR-National Institute of Science and Technology and Development Studies, New Delhi 2011, p.102) that ranks Annamalai University in the ninth position within the top ten Universities, among 600 and odd Universities in India, regarding the overall science publication output. In respect of Environmental Science, the University is ranked second, in Energy fourth, in Engineering Sciences fifth and eighth in Biological Sciences. The Seimago (Scopus) survey for ranking Universities, educational institutions and sponsoring agencies across the world has rated Annamalai University to be 22nd in India, next to DRDO (Defense Research and Development Organisation) and to be 7th among Indian Universities (Scimago Institutions Ranking Scimago Research Group, 2012. Data source: Scopus. http://ww.Scimagoir.com). The popular journal in India careers 360 has ranked Annamalai

University to be second among four star rated universities of Tamilnadu. This survey has only 10 Universities in India ranked above Annamalai University (Indias Outstanding Universities, Careers 360 March,2013. www.carreers360.com,p.16-19). All the ten faculties enjoy reputation across the globe for their distinguished record of effective teaching at the higher level, continuing research and manpower yield. Numerous infrastructure facilities have been created to cope up with the voluminous increase in enrolment of students in various on-campus programmes. New laboratory facilities in terms of space and quality equipment have been provided to cater to the needs of the learners and researchers. Video conferencing, Edusat, campus network with 1750 access points, high tech class rooms are some of new facilities added. An Internal Quality Assurance Cell has been set up to monitor the quality of academic results. The departments of study conduct national and international seminars, symposia, workshops and conferences to expose teachers of the University to world class teaching and research. Students Progression Cell has been created to coach students for taking I.A.S. 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 to preparing the students for their profession and, in particular, 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 inplant 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. The 1400 bedded teaching hospital with a built-up area of about 7,00,000 sq.ft. provides basic as well as specialised healthcare services to various sections of the community in and around the campus. Students can opt to attach themselves to the extracurricular services like NSS, NCC, Blue Ribbon club and YRC so as to develop social awareness, an interest in the community and with a

clear ambition to improve their personality. To improve upon the physical fitness of the students, a sports pavilion with many infrastructure facilities has been established. The University Library named after the eminent scholar, statesman and former ViceChancellor Dr. Sir C.P. Ramaswami Aiyer, is a key knowledge resource for the students and the staff. The Library is equipped with INTERNET connectivity and CD NETWORK station. Quite a good number of journals can be accessed through the Infonet facility. Science direct is subscribed through which 340 journals can be accessed. The University has Memorandum of Understanding with many foreign Universities on research collaboration and exchange of students and staff as well. There are sufficient numbers of hostels for the convenience of the students to pursue their studies on campus. Modern kitchen facilities with safe drinking water are available to ensure the hygiene in the hostel.
