Conferred with the University with Potential for Excellence Status by UGC

CHEPAUK, CHENNAI - 600 005.

UNIVERSITY OF MADRASThe University of Madras was formally established on September 5, 1857 and undertook as its

motto Doctrina Vim Promovet Insitam (Learning promotes [ones] innate talent). Robert Chisholm wascommissioned in 1861 to build the Universitys first building, now a magnificent renovated heritagemonument.

The first Vice-Chancellor of the University was Sir Christopher Rawlinson, also the Chief Justiceof Madras. This practice of part time Vice-Chancellors (majority from the High Court bench) was tocontinue until 1923. The University at its inception comprised of four faculties Arts, Law, Medicine andEngineering, and examined candidates for degrees in all these disciplines. However, consequentamendments to the Madras University Act, the Law, Medical and Engineering faculties earlier affiliatedto this University have been since shifted to the newly created Dr. Ambedkar Law University,Dr. MGR Medical University and the Anna University respectively.

The University of Madras was the first to introduce autonomous colleges within the Universitysystem in 1978-79. Since then, 27 out of the 159 affiliated institutions have become autonomous.

The opening of the golden page in the history of the University of Madras with the NationalAssessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) accrediting it at the Five Star level took place in 2000.The University Grants Commission (UGC) has conferred the special status of University with Potential forExcellence in the same year. Presently NAAC has reaccredited the University of Madras with A Grade.

The innovations introduced in the last decade have been many. At present there are 70 teachingand research departments in the University, grouped under 17 Schools. Within the Chennai Metropolitanarea the University is now spread over six campuses such as (1) The Chepauk Main Campus,(2) The Guindy Campus, (3) The Marina Campus, (4) The Taramani Campus, (5) The Chetpet Campus(The Madras University Union), (6) The Maduravoyal Campus (Field Laboratory). The University offersseveral Masters and Research Programmes.

INSTITUTE OF DISTANCE EDUCATIONThe Institute of Correspondence Education (ICE) as in Madras University Act 1923 Vol I

(2001 Edition) Chapter VIII, Statue 2. III, now called the Institute of Distance Education (IDE) wasestablished in 1981.

Having completed 33 years, the Institute of Distance Education today is a mega Institute with astudent enrolment of more than 1.5 lakhs. The objective of the Institute of Distance Education (IDE) isto enable learners to achieve educational, career and personal goals.

The Institute of Distance Education at present offers 97 Degree Programmes :Undergraduate 27, Postgraduate 21, Professional 18, Diploma 21, and Certificate 10. Professional andjob oriented programs are now offered in collaboration with the industry.

Admissions are made throughout the year in the Academic Year Stream (June to May) as well asCalendar Year Stream (January to December).

In order to meet this growing demand the number of Spot Admission Centres in Tamil Nadu, UnionTerritories and Study Centres in India and Abroad have been considerably increased.
