Overview
About ICAT
ICAT College of Design and Media is a design college in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, established in 2004. ICAT College of Design and Media is privately managed and self-financing. It is affiliated to Alagappa University. ICAT College of Design and Media offers 2 programmes at undergraduate level. They are B.Sc Game Programming and Full-time UG, PG Professional and MSc programs. The Chennai campus is at 153, Santhome High Road, Mylapore, Chennai. Official pages show admissions open for 2026 and describe the campus as part of ICAT's three-campus network. Programme pages identify Alagappa University as the awarding body for listed Chennai B.Sc./B.Des programmes; the institution also describes degree partnerships with Bharathiar University and international validation by Birmingham City University. The semester pattern is evidenced by the published Chennai programme curricula. No hospital is associated with this design institution. For the current 2026-27 admissions cycle, ICAT's official Chennai programme pages consistently state Alagappa University as the awarding university, including B.Sc Animation, UI/UX Design and Graphic Design. The official Alagappa University affiliated-college lists opened (2023 and 2024) did not list ICAT College of Design and Media, so the university affiliation status and university college code remain unverified. No AICTE, state CET seat-matrix, UCEED/CEED, Act-campus or UGC off-campus evidence was located in the checked official material; no such approval or seat figure is asserted. The 2026-27 application page identifies Chennai as one of ICAT's campuses and the programme pages identify the Chennai campus and address.
