Amazing place! Heritage buildings were originally constructed by the British. Architecture of these old buildings are breathtaking!! Maintenance seems to bad. New buildings are bad looking and also in bad condition.

The Madras university is one of the most prestigious universities in India. Established almost 200 years back and still going strong.

The university seems to take ages to take decisions and this hampers it's progress. Syllabus' of many departments need revision. Also the University is yet to approve the Dual Degree courses allowed by UGC! As per the officials here, it needs to be approved by Syndicate in their next meeting which God only knows when!!! Because of this students are joining other universities such as IGNOU or other Pvt Universities for their second degree. Hope the officials of UoM will change their attitude for the betterment of the university.

The University of Madras or Madras University is a public state university in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. Established in 1857, it is one of the oldest universities in India, incorporated by an Act of Legislative Council of India under the British government., when you go here to get certificates please calm and have some patience because many students will be there to collect their documents , so when you make a plan ,please make some extra time 👍

It is one of the oldest universities of India, reflecting the past colonial glory in its architecture and established in 1857 under British government. University of Madras is the alma mater of two Indian Physics Nobel Laureates, CV Raman and Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar, five Presidents of India, including A. P. J. Abdul Kalam, and several notable mathematicians including Srinivasa Ramanujan.It is very close to Marina beech.
