Thandavan Vice-Chancellor UNIVERSITY OF MADRAS (Established under the Act of Incorporation XXVII of Madras University Act 1923) (State University) Accredited at the A Grade Level by NAAC Conferred with the University with Potential for Excellence Status by UGC CHEPAUK, CHENNAI th May, Dear Students, Greetings. It is my proud privilege to welcome you to one of the India s renowned universities. This 157 years old University has always striven to maintain its heritage and embrace new developments in terms of teaching and research. Welcome to the portals of this great University which can boast of having more than 3,00,000 students already on roll. The Institute of Distance Education (IDE) of the University of Madras was started in 1981 with a vision to impart education to the students who, due to various circumstances, cannot undergo face to face education. Over the years, the IDE has remained a heaven for students who cannot afford to join colleges or who are employed or who are seeking an additional qualification. The IDE s mission is to maintain the quality benchmarks in the education it offers. There is a vast array of courses that are offered in the IDE at different levels such as Undergraduate, Postgraduate, Professional Courses, Diploma and Certificate. For facilitating independent study, all the learning resources of the IDE are prepared in Self Learning Format. The Personal Contact Programmes are handled by experienced faculty drawn from the university departments and affiliated colleges. It is a source of satisfaction for us to watch our students have their understanding, introspection, knowledge and critical thinking skills during their course of study. We are confident that the degree you receive from the IDE, University of Madras will prepare you for facing the tough competition in the job market and for further study at higher education institutions. Through its increasing enrolment, the IDE takes education to the doorsteps of people thus increasing the number of students in the Higher Education sector. This enhances the Human Resource Development of our State and our Country. It is our shared duty to join hands to achieve the dream of education. My best wishes for your great success. R. THANDAVAN

5 UNIVERSITY OF MADRAS The University of Madras was formally established on September 5, 1857 and undertook as its motto Doctrina Vim Promovet Insitam (Learning promotes [one s] innate talent). Robert Chisholm was commissioned in 1861 to build the University s first building, now a magnificent renovated heritage monument. The first Vice-Chancellor of the University was Sir Christopher Rawlinson, also the Chief Justice of Madras. This practice of part time Vice-Chancellors (majority from the High Court bench) was to continue until The University at its inception comprised of four faculties Arts, Law, Medicine and Engineering, and examined candidates for degrees in all these disciplines. However, consequent amendments to the Madras University Act, the Law, Medical and Engineering faculties earlier affiliated to 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 University system in 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 National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) accrediting it at the Five Star level took place in The University Grants Commission (UGC) has conferred the special status of University with Potential for Excellence 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 teaching and research departments in the University, grouped under 17 Schools. Within the Chennai Metropolitan area 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 offers several Masters and Research Programmes. INSTITUTE OF DISTANCE EDUCATION The 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) was established in Having completed 32 years, the Institute of Distance Education today is a mega Institute with a student enrolment of more than 3.0 lakhs. The objective of the Institute of Distance Education (IDE) is to 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 and job oriented programs are now offered in collaboration with the industry.
