About Central University of Tamil Nadu

In 2009, the Government of India laid the foundation for the Central University of Tamil Nadu, setting a transformative course for higher education accessibility.

Through an Act of Parliament, the university was established along with eight other Central Universities, aiming to empower students especially from marginalized communities.

Initially starting with just eight students in M.A. English Studies, the institution began its journey at the Collectorate Annexe in Thiruvarur, 60 kilometers east of Thanjavur.

However, today, it stands majestically by a tributary of the renowned river Cauvery, a mere seven kilometers northwest of Thiruvarur.

The institution takes immense pride in its 13 Schools, with 28 dynamic Departments that foster a diverse and enriching learning environment.

Its commitment to comprehensive education is evident in the vast array of 64 academic programmes we offer, tailored to cater to different interests and aspirations.

Among these are 29 research programmes, 22 specialized programmes, 6 integrated programmes, 2 undergraduate programmes, and several PG diploma courses.
