One of the largest residential universities in Southern Asia, Annamalai University has a campus
that spans about 1000 acres and is located in Chidambaram, the Adobe of the Cosmic Dancer Lord Nataraja. It has 10 faculties and 49 departments of study.
Rajah Sir S. R. M. Annamalai Chettiar established Sri Minakshi College, Sri Minakshi Tamil College, and Sri Minakshi Sanskrit College in a rural setting near Chidambaram in the early 1920s to aid the underprivileged and promote Tamil literature. Together with the local government, Rajah Sir S. R. M. Annamalai Chettiar consented to turn over the aforementioned institution for the purpose of establishing a university in 1928. Annamalai University was therefore founded on January 1, 1929, in accordance with the Annamalai University Act of 1928. (Tamil Nadu Act 1 of 1929).
The Annamalai University has had a remarkable impact on people's lives both locally and globally ever since it was founded. The Annamalai University Act, 2013, also known as Tamil Nadu Act 20 of 2013, was approved in 2013 and became effective on September 25, 2013.
By providing a variety of programs under one roof, Annamalai University, a "university" in the genuine meaning of the word, has been preserving a cohesive ecosystem of education. As a unitary, multi-faculty institution, Annamalai University has developed a tried-and-true administrative structure to guarantee the continuous exchange of teaching and learning, limitless growth of research and innovation, and selfless expansion of service to society.
The presence of 49 departments of study, 10 distinct disciplines, a sports pavilion, gymnasiums, libraries, and yoga/meditation rooms ensures that students may develop into well-rounded, competent people rather than merely "programmed experts."
Annamalai University also provides distance mba course for all working professionals and students.
In 2022, NAAC awarded Annamalai University an accreditation grade of "A+."
