Overview
About Central University of Tamil Nadu
Central University of Tamil Nadu is an university in Tiruvarur, Tamil Nadu, established in 2009. It is affiliated to Central University of Tamil Nadu. Central University of Tamil Nadu holds a NAAC grade of A+, valid until August 22, 2029. Central University of Tamil Nadu offers 23 programmes, 7 at undergraduate level and 8 at postgraduate level. These include School of Basic and Applied Sciences / School of Mathematics & Computer Science / School of Earth Sciences / School of Life Sciences: B.Sc. Honours/Research programmes (UG), School of Technology: B.Tech programmes (UG), School of Social Sciences & Humanities / School of Communication: B.A. Honours/Research programmes (UG), School of Commerce & Business Management: B.B.A. Honours/Research programmes (UG) and School of Commerce & Business Management: B.Com. Honours/Research programmes (UG), among others. Central University of Tamil Nadu is an institution established under the Central Universities Act, 2009 and is listed by UGC as a central university at Neelakudi Campus, Thiruvarur, Tamil Nadu. The latest authoritative institutional evidence reviewed describes 13 schools/faculties, 28 departments, 64 programmes and 183 permanent faculty in the May 2024 peer-team report. The 2024 SSR reports 173 faculty, 27 departments and 12 schools, so faculty figures are retained as dated source-specific rows rather than merged. Official CUTN pages use both Thiruvarur and Tiruvarur spellings. CUTN's homepage states 13 schools and 28 departments and broader programme totals; the current 2026-27 admissions page separately lists one integrated UG programme, six UG Hons./Research programmes, 22 PG programmes and 29 PhD programmes, so those category figures are recorded separately. The AISHE code was not printed.
