Karpaga Vinayaga Institute of Management

Pudukkottai is a historical place, the princely state of the Thondamans.It was the first native domain to merge voluntarily with the Indian union after Independence. When Pudukkottai District was formed in 1974, Pudukkottai town became the District headquarters. The town began to progress steadily in various fields. Though there were two Arts Colleges and a College of Education, Pudukkottai had to wait for nearly two decades, for realizing the revolutionary concept of higher education, in the form of a self-financing college of this kind. It is often said that education is the foundation of a nation and much of the nation?s future and progress depend on her system of education. The System of education is in a state of flux, in conformity with the growing demands for new branches of knowledge and diversified advancements in the modern Technological world. Foreseeing this, the Karpaga Vinayaga Educational Trust deemed it fit to start a new college with the name ?J.J College of Arts and Science? in order to fulfill the aspirations of the parents and the student population. Our College was inaugurated on 17th January, 1994 by the Honorable Minister for Education, Prof.K.Ponnusamy, under the president ship of the Honorable Minister Mr.S.Regupathy, the Founder. The Bharathidasan University graciously accorded affiliation. Within a Short Span of time, the college was able to offer nine Research Degrees, sixteen Post-Graduate Courses, ten Under-Graduate Courses, two Post-Graduate Diploma Courses in the emerging fields of science and one Certificate Course. With its excellent infrastructure, sophisticated laboratories, well stacked library, spacious classrooms, convenient furniture, well-furnished separate hostels for boys and girls within the campus, the College provides a conductive atmosphere to promote the academic endeavours of both the faculty and the students. To improve communication skill the college has started a Certificate Course in Functional English. This can be learnt concurrently with the regular degree programme.The certificate is awarded by the University. All the departments organize various programmes like Seminars, Guest Lectures, Conferences, Symposia at the National and State Levels in order to supplement class room lectures. These enrichment ? activities invariably enhance the student?s knowledge and initiate them into advanced research. The College, with its high profile, is placed among the leading educational institutions in the country. The College Still marches ahead with bold steps towards its destination, the vision of making itself a premier research centre. As a crowning glory for its unmatched excellence, the college was accredited with B++ Grade (Five Star Status) by the NAAC, in 2003.With the accreditation, the college has made remarkable strides in the field of higher education and reached the stature of a Total Quality Institution.
