Situated in the heart of the city of Chennai in 9 acres of campus area, the college stands self contained with prestigious structures measuring to a total plinth area of 3,48,751Sq.ft. It is this infrastructural facility and the vision which is kept up by the successive managements, principals, faculty and students which has gained for us the five star status and the college with potential for excellence award. Thousands of students have gone out of the portals of the Institution, carrying with them the aura and dignity of the Institution itself. Our students are occupying enviable positions all over the world from diplomatic circles to law and order to teaching and caring for the under privileged. We have our students who have won national awards for their contribution to the nation's cultural and educational legacy. In strengthening our core competencies, we have been bettering ourselves as days pass by. The college has a dedicated team of 291 faculty members who maintain academic excellence and about 5914 students who are our anchor to sustain our vision. In our endeavour to grow over the years, we have kept in view Charles Darwin's observation, It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the most responsive to change.
