Sri Avinashilingam Home Science College for Women was established by the great patriot and educationist Dr. T.S. Avinashilingam under the auspices of the Avinashilingam Education Trust in 1957 with 45 students. The growth of the Institution has been carefully nurtured to its current heights by the world renowned educationist and nutritionist, former Chancellor of the University Dr. Rajammal P. Devadas. It is now the largest Institution in the country for imparting Home Science Education at all levels. It was one of the eight colleges on which autonomy was conferred by the University of Madras in June 1978 and the first of the women's colleges to get this distinction. Autonomy gave the College scope for academic freedom for innovations in teaching and research.
The Government of India declared Sri Avinashilingam Home Science College for Women and Sri Avinashilingam Teachers College for Women as a Deemed-to-be-University under Section 3 of the UGC Act in June 1988. These Colleges have been renamed as Avinashilingam Institute for Home Science and Higher Education for Women and is marching towards the Thirtieth year as a Deemd-to-be-University. Prof.S.P.Thyagarajan assumed the Chancellorship on 10.12.2020.
The Institution follows the educational ideals of Sri Ramakrishna, Holy Mother Sri Saradamani Devi, Swami Vivekananda and Mahatma Gandhi and upholds a life of purity, discipline and service. A temple dedicated to Sri Ramakrishna commands the campus. Daily prayer is an integral part of campus life. All the students and staff are expected to participate in the common prayers.
The Institute functions under seven Schools, namely, Home Science, Physical Sciences & Computational Sciences, Biosciences, Arts & Social Sciences, Commerce & Management, Education and Engineering. Each school functions under the headship of a Dean.
The pattern of education has been fully Semesterised. The academic year is divided into two semesters, each semester having a minimum of 90 teaching days. The semester pattern offers each student individual attention of the teacher and facilitates the student's all round development. It calls for active participation of the students in the learning process.
Regular attendance is an important feature of the semester pattern. In all Programmes, a student should have a minimum of 75 percent attendance for both theory and practicals to appear for the comprehensive semester Examinations. Examinations for the courses offered in a semester are conducted in the same semester to make learning more effective and to reduce the burden on the students.

I see an Overall Rating of more than 4, so I'm not sure about the School or Other Courses. I'm here to mention about BBA Tourism. It would be the worst course you could ever choose (I mean with respect to this College). Worst staffs. Classes won't happen. You have to study yourselves or they ask you to take Seminars within yourselves to Complete the Syllabus. And they will beg in more Fascinating Ways for Money with Different Names of Fees which you could've never heard of. Their Web Page is the worst one you could see and you cannot Pay your Fees without any Payment Failures (Unsecured Web Page too)! AND FINALLY, NO PLACEMENT! Please don't join (May be the only Good Thing) unless you want some degree in a most cheaper way.

Heyy people are who thinking of joining here ..this is for you! Staffs here are saying they are experienced for years but their way of teaching is Very average than it supposed to be...Not Saying every staffs , there's also an exception but you shouldn't be wasting your periods just for the" exception " right!??.. and about sports , there's one so-called forest campus there which has less scholarships and NCC than in main campus , partiality prevails everywhere🤷🤷. furthermore,even if government ordered to open the colleges ,it won't open 😂😂 don't know what's the strange reason behind it,maybe they're planning to keep there campus as a new one....the only thing you can enjoy here is "Nature" ..escatic surroundings like tourist lodge 😂

This is a utter waste institution. Don't ever think of joining here. I don't know about first campus but there is a campus in varapalayam in pannimadai.don't every join there. There is nothing perfectly in there. Poor infrastructure, actually no infrastructure. No proper coaching , no proper ambience, no sufficient teacher's . No proper library, my school library looks bigger than that. The curriculum here is so outdated. They don't teach you anything outside academics, no placements, nothing . They don't even organize workshops, speech etc.... If you are someone who dreamt of going to college having big infrastructure and good ambience then this isn't your place..here there is only one building That accompanies all departments students . Totally a poor institute.

I am Kathija Beebi (a) Shynee Martin, 1988-1991batch U.G.Home Science and Rural Development student. College Infrastructure. The infrastructure in our campus is best. The facilities such as facility, hostel, Wi-Fi, cafeteria, lab and sport activities. The facility which is provided to us is excellent such as food in canteen especially in mess is best and tasty. There is a very good library of the college which is very maintained you need not need to buy book from anywhere else with Journals as well as Back volumes. Academics The faculty of our campus is pretty good. The teachers are very supportive in all issues related to academic as well as personal life. Many faculty members are of PhD degree. the curriculum is relevant to our field. Hence, the teachers also conduct a practical activity which makes us job-ready. Value-for-money My fee is not so high as compared to other colleges. The college also provides scholarships on various criteria. I feel like I am getting my money's worth as the quality of education they are providing is excellent quality. The hostel is somewhat good. There are several restrictions inside hostel. Campus Life The campus is just amazing. There are several fests Annai vizha, x-mas celebration and Kalai vizha cultural events being organised in the college. The campus has good and fresh environment. It has got a lot of greenery. The canteen is clean. the location of campus is highly safe. It is free from ragging.

Wow place to study. Recommended for all girls to study. Education is good here as I have heard from my neighbors and also good sport and much more extra curricular activities. Located in main area, frequent buses available 1 standard to Ph.D , more safety for girls. Try to not allow mens inside the campus while the girls are practicing sports and not allow people to go through the ground. Make a separate path that will not disturb the sport person during their practice..

I had joined at Avinashilingam University earlier this year for MSc in Food Science and Nutrition, I found it really unsatisfactory on the basis of education and teaching. No doubt the university is really good at promoting Indian culture and tradition but the lecturers and professors are biased towards tamilians and do not encourage opinions of students and creative skills. I had to drop out from this university because of the unpleasant atmosphere here hence i do not suggest you to join here unless you are capable of handling such an environment.
