PROFILE OF THE COLLEGE

The New College is a Government - Aided Muslim minority

College affiliated to the University of Madras. It was founded by
the Muslim Educational Association of Southern India
(MEASI). Since its founding in 1951 with about 200
intermediate course students, The New College has rigorously
upheld commitment to providing quality Higher Education to
the deserving students, especially from weaker sections of the
society. The college is currently run by a Managing Committee
of the MEASI under the Chairmanship of H. H. Nawab
Mohammed Abdul Ali, Prince of Arcot.

On our beautiful campus on Peter‟s Road, Royapettah,

Chennai, about 5000 students pursue their intellectual passion
through more than 35 academic programmes. The New college
campus also houses three other institutions run by its parent
body viz., MEASI Academy of Architecture, MEASI Institute of
Management and MEASI Institute of Information Technology.

Although the college and its allied institutions were

established with a view to educationally empower students
belonging to the Muslim community in Tamil Nadu, the college
has students and teachers from different communities and from
almost all parts of India. We have a few students from abroad as
well. There is provision for nearly 500 students to reside in the
College campus. The parent body of the college uses a major
share of income every year to give scholarships to students from
economically less privileged families. Although the
management of the college mainly depends on the contributions
generous philanthropists from the community for its working
capital, it has always strived to provide adequate infrastructure
facilities for the college to meet the challenges of the changing
times.
 The college campus is equipped with all necessary facilities
for the all-round development of students including playground,
Hostel, fitness centre, Staff Lounge, Library, Canteen, Wi-Fi
internet connectivity and so on. Students‟ Union elections are
conducted every year to select student representatives and to
inculcate values of democracy in students. The college has two
active units of NCC. The units of NSS, Rotoract Club, Youth
Red Cross and other social service initiatives of the college won
several accolades from different agencies including Chennai city
police and health department for their services. There is a
mosque in the college campus which is open for all for worship
and meditation.

The Diamond Jubilee block, the latest addition to the

buildings in the campus, is mainly meant for setting up a Digital
Library and Resource Centre. The college has been securing
many major projects from the UGC and other agencies, and has
always endeavoured to produce quality research works.
Numerous research papers and books are published by our
faculty every year.

The New College became autonomous in the year 2007, and

it is recently re-accredited by NAAC with „A‟ Grade (3rd
Cycle). Autonomy has enhanced us to periodically update our
curriculum, and offer courses that are relevant to the times and
aimed at enhancing employability of students. During its
existence in the past 68 years, the college has produced about
75,000 graduates, many of whom have excelled in their chosen
fields. The college continues to extend its services to the nation
by means of adopting healthy practices and dedicated efforts to
ensure quality of education.

For the attention of parents

This is to bring to the kind attention of the parents / guardians that
their responsibilities do not cease with the admission of their children /
wards in The New College. While continuing to evince keen interest in
the progress of their children / wards in studies and in their conduct in
and outside the college, they should extend every co-operation to the
authorities of the college, in the education and welfare of their
children/wards. Mere admission of the college does not guarantee an
automatic pass in the semester examinations. Students should realize
that their academic achievements and employability depend on their
attendance, conduct and good performance in CIA (Continuous Internal
Assessment), Model and Semester Examination. They should actively
participate in the co-curricular, extra-curricular and extension
activities. Only sustained and systematic hard work will be the key to
their continued progress and ultimate success. In this regard, you are
advised to meet the Head of the Department and Principal regularly to
ascertain the academic progress of your son / ward.
