MESSAGE
Greetings,
It gives me great pleasure to welcome yet another batch - the 2022-23
batch - of talented young people to the University of Madras, one of the most
reputed and prestigious centers of higher education in our country.
No words are required to place on record the glory of the University of
Madras, an institution which has established its fame time and again in its long journey of 165 years.
With a magnificent list of Nobel laureates and luminary personalities who are stalwarts in
various fields among its alumni, and with top-rankings by national and international accreditation
forums, the University of Madras continues acquiring more laurels in every step it takes. Entering the
top 500 rankings in the QS World-University Ranking, the University of Madras has established its
competency at the global level too.
Turning challenge into opportunity, the mandatory online pedagogy adapted to during the
time of Covid-19 Pandemic, has been used to introduce new online courses and various e-learning
modules. This is in addition to the wide variety of regular programmes already offered by the
University-departments. All these steps ensure that the doctrine of the University, "Learning promotes
(one's) natural (innate) talent", exists not only in words but also in action.
The outreach of the University of Madras is not only limited to academics but also aims at
identifying and nurturing the extra-curricular talents of the students as well. With activities such as
NSS, NCC and Youth Red Cross, and several public awareness programmes, campus job interviews,
internship and entrepreneurship programs, every effort is made to mould students into successful,
thriving, and good citizens in the society.
With its CBCS pattern of education, credit transfer facilities with other institutions, including
foreign universities, and the inclusion of MOOCs through SWAYAM and NPTEL platforms as
integral parts of the curriculum, we offer students not only the flexibility in learning but also deliver
tailored knowledge to suit the specific academic needs of individuals.
The University of Madras leaves no stone unturned when it comes to student-safety and
welfare in academics. The examination and evaluation systems of the University of Madras are one of
the most transparent methods adopted in higher- education centers. Its IQAC and annual academic
audit ensure fair evaluations. The University of Madras has a stepwise and robust grievance redressal
system that ensures speedy and fair rectification of students’ grievances, if any.
This handbook is a consolidated presentation of the various aspects of the CBCS pattern of
education and other useful information regarding departments and courses. I am confident that the
handbook will be highly helpful to the students. I am sure the students will take with them pleasant
memories of their study at the University into their laurel-strewn futures.
I am sure that all the students’ dedication and hard work will lead them to great success and
add more feathers to the Crown of this outstanding University.
With the best wishes
January 30, 2023

VII. CHOICE BASED CREDIT SYSTEM (CBCS) REGULATIONS
CBCS SYSTEM
Choice-Based Credit System is a flexible system of learning. The distinguishing features of

CBCS are the following:
➢ It permits students to learn at their own pace

➢ Choose electives from a wide range of elective courses offered by the University
Departments with consulting Department Faculty Members
➢ Undergo additional courses and acquire more than the required number of credits
➢ Adopt an inter-disciplinary and intra-disciplinary approach in learning, and
➢ Make best use of the expertise of available faculty
General Eligibility conditions for admission to Masters Programme through formal education as per
the UGC Regulations, 2018.
23
No student shall be eligible for admission to a Masters degree programme in any of the
faculties unless he/she has successfully completed a three year undergraduate degree or earned
prescribed number of credits for an undergraduate degree through the examinations conducted by a
University / autonomous institution or possesses such qualifications recognized by the University
of Madras as equivalent to an undergraduate degree.
1 SCHOOLS, DEPARTMENTS AND PROGRAMMES
1.1 There are 87 Departments of study and research in the University which are grouped
into 18 schools. Most of these departments offer programmes at various levels under
the CBCS.
2 COURSES
2.1 A programme consists of a number of courses. A ‘Course’ is a component (a paper) of

a programme. Every course offered by any University Department is identified by a
unique course code. A course may be designed to involve lectures / tutorials /
laboratory work/ seminar / project work / practical training / report writing / Viva
voce, etc or a combination of these, to meet effectively the teaching and learning
needs and the credits may be assigned suitably.
3 SEMESTERS
3.1 An academic year consists of two semesters. Odd Semester (I and III Semesters): July
to November Even Semester (II and IV Semesters): December to April
3.2 A semester normally extends over a period of 15 weeks. Each week has 30 hours
instruction spread over a 5 day week.
4 CREDITS
4.1 Credit defines the quantum of contents/syllabus prescribed for a course and determines
the number of hours of instruction required per week. Thus, normally in each of the
courses, credits will be assigned on the basis of the number of lectures/tutorial laboratory
work and other forms of learning required completing the course contents a 15 week
schedule:
➢ 1 Credit=I hour of lecture per week (1Credit course=15 hours of lectures per
semester)
➢ 3 credits = 3 hours of instruction per week (3 Credit course = 45 hours of lectures
per semester)
Instructions can take the form of lectures/tutorials/laboratory work/fieldwork or other

forms. In determining the number of hours of instruction required for a course involving
laboratory/field-work, 3 hours of laboratory/ field work is generally considered
equivalent to 1 hour of lecture.
5 COURSE NUMBERING
Every course offered by any University Department is identified by a unique course code.

treated as cancelled. If the course is a core course, the candidate should register for and
30
repeat the course when it is offered next time.

11.6 Biometric attendance introduced for all students in the University Departments, in order
to ensure adequate attendance of students in the course.
12 EXAMINATION AND EVALUATION
12.1 Evaluation will be done on a continuous basis, three times during each semester. For the
purpose of uniformity, particularly for interdepartmental transfer of credits, there will
be a uniform procedure of examination to be adopted by all teachers. There will be two
sessional tests and one End-semester examination in each course during every semester.
12.2 Sessional Test I will be held during the sixth week of the semester for the syllabi covered
till then.
12.3 Sessional Test II will be held during the eleventh Week for the syllabi covered between
seventh and eleventh weeks.
12.4 Sessional Tests (of one to two hours duration) may employ one or more assessment tools
such as objective tests, assignments, paper presentation and laboratory work suitable to
the course. This requires an element of openness. The students are to be informed in
advance about the nature of assessment. Students shall compulsorily attend the two
sessional tests, failing which they will not be allowed to appear for end-semester
examination. A Student cannot repeat Sessional Tests. However, if for any compulsive
reason the student could not attend the test, the prerogative of arranging a special test lies
with the course teacher. In case of students who could not attend any of the sessional tests
due to medical reason or under extraordinary circumstances, a separate test shall be
conducted before the End Semester Examinations by the respective faculty member.
12.5 The sessional tests will carry 40% (20%+20%) of total marks for the course. The marks
of the two Sessional Tests shall be taken into account for the computation of Grade. The
marks with attendance shall be uploaded in the online mark entry portal of the
University within one week after the sessional examination. The portal will be closed
after two weeks of the date of the examination.
12.6 There shall be one End-semester examination of 3 hours duration carrying 60% of marks
in each course covering the entire syllabus prescribed for the course. The End semester
examination is normally a written/laboratory-based examination. The mode of End
semester examination and evaluation will be decided by the teacher in consultation with
the Departmental Committee. Model Question Paper for each course has to be prepared
by the teacher and the same should be forwarded to the Head of Department. The end-
semester examination time schedule will be prepared by the CBCS section. The Head of
Department will fix the date for Departmental Committee meeting to finalise the results.
The course faculty must evaluate the answer scripts and submit the results to the Head of
the Department before the Departmental Committee meeting.
12.7 End-semester Practical examinations shall normally be held before the theory
examinations.
12.8 To improve Internal Assessment marks in theory subjects for P.G Degree with the
following conditions.
i. Should have cleared end-semester with more than 50% marks in PG.
ii. Should have obtained less than 30% marks in the Internal Assessment.
31
iii. Should be permitted to improve internal assessment within N+2 years.

iv. Chances for reassessment will be open only for 25% of core courses in University
Departments and only one chance per course will be given.
v. The Department Committee will decide based on the request for reassessment and
designate a faculty member of the department to conduct the examination and
evaluation
vi. The reassessment may be based on a written test/assignment or any other for the
entire internal assessment marks.
vii. The candidate must register for examination in the on-line system along with
prescribed examination fee for that course.
12.9 The valuation and revaluation exceeds 15 marks out of total 60 marks for the University
Departments then the answer papers be valued by a third examiner.
12.10 Valuation of Project Report / Dissertation and Viva-voce

The distribution of marks for the dissertation will be as below:
Periodical presentation - 20 Marks

Concise dissertation - 60 Marks
Viva-voce - 20 Marks
TOTAL 100 Marks
12.11 Evaluation of soft skills will be done on continuous basis as other core and elective
courses.
Dissertation/project report will be valued jointly by the supervisor and one more
examiner within the Department/University or from outside the University (without any
financial commitment on the part of the University) nominated by the Head of the
Department. Students may be asked to make a presentation before the faculty members
and students.
13 MARKS AND GRADING
The total performance within a semester will be indicated by a Grade Point Average (GPA), and
the performance of the programme by Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA). Hence CGPA is
the real indicator of student’s performance. They are calculated by the formulations given below:
CGPA = (∑ Cni Gni ) / (∑ Cni)

Where Cni - number of credits of the nth course of the ith semester, Gni - grade points of the nth
course of the ith semester
13.1 A candidate has to secure a minimum of 50 percent of marks (Two sessional Tests marks
plus End- Semester examination mark) in the course taken inclusive of soft skills, to
pass in that course. A candidate who has not secured a minimum of 50 percent of marks
in a course shall be deemed to have failed in that course.
REDOING THE COURSE

(a) Due to not attending the complete semester
A student who has failed to attend a complete semester during his Master programme
due to some unavoidable reasons could redo at the corresponding semester after due
completion of the 2/3 years Master program.
32
For example, a student who has joined a two year programme in 2021-2022 and has
completed the first semester and has missed the 2nd semester i.e. even semester during
Dec-Apr 2022, due to some unavoidable reasons, he /she can continue with the 3rd and
4th semesters during 2022-2023 after approval by the department. He can redo the
missed 2nd semester correspondingly in the year 2023-2024 i.e. during Dec-Apr 2024
for the completion of his two year program.
(b) Due to not attending specific paper(s) in any semester
A student who has failed to attend a specific paper(s) in any semester (shortage minimum
attendance requirement) during his Master programme due to some unavoidable reasons
could redo the specific paper at the corresponding semester after due completion of the 2
or 3 years Master’s programme.
A student can also redo the paper again in case of poor marks in sessional tests and
having difficulty in obtaining the qualifying marks to pass the paper after the end
`
semester.
For example a student who has joined a two year programme in 2021-2022 and has
completed the first semester but could not attend a specific paper due to some
unavoidable reasons, he can continue with the 2nd semester and subsequent semesters.
He can redo the missed out specific paper in the corresponding semester i.e. 1st
semester in the year 2022-2023 for the completion of his two year programme.
(c) Re-do fees
After the due completion of the master programme, students have to pay a sum of
Rs.500/- per paper as re-do fee.

student will be indicated in the grade sheet of the subsequent semester in which the
candidate has appeared for clearance of the arrears.
13.3.6 A student who secures RA grade in a core course has to pass it compulsorily. A
candidate who does not pass a core course in the stipulated period (eight/ ten
semesters as the case may be from the year of admission), he/she may be permitted
to re-register for the same course or a substitute core course by paying the prescribed
fee when it is offered next in consultation with the student advisor.
13.3.7 If a student who secures RA grade in an elective wants to change the elective
he/she has to register by paying the prescribed fee and attend the classes for that
course when it is offered.
13.3.8 Any candidate who falls short of the required number of credits for the award of the
degree may be permitted to register, by paying the prescribed re-registration fee, for
the required number of courses (core or elective) when it is offered.
13.3.9 If a student secures RA grade in the Project Work /Dissertation, either he/she shall
improve it and resubmit it if it involves only rewriting/incorporating the revisions
suggested by the evaluators or the student can re-register by paying the prescribed re-
registration fee and complete the same in the subsequent semesters.
13.3.10 GRADE CARD
The Grade Card issued at the end of the semester to each student will contain the
following:
1. The marks obtained for each course registered in the semester

2. The credits earned for each course registered for that semester
3. The performance in each course indicated by the letter Grade
4. The Grade Point Average (GPA) of all the courses registered for that semester

SCHOOL OF INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION STUDIES

DEPARTMENT OF LIBRARY AND INFORMATION SCIENCE
The Department takes great pride to be the first LIS School to be initiated by the Father of
Library Science in India Padma Shri Dr. S.R. Ranganathan, himself. A full-fledged teaching
Department was established in 1956. Consequently the Sarada Ranganathan Endowment Chair was
created in 1959. In 1976, the Masters Programme in Library Science was started. The advancements
in the LIS field led to the change in nomenclature to ‘Library and Information Science’ in 1980.
Subsequently the Department was also renamed as Library and Information Science offering MLIS
degree. At the same time the Doctoral Programme was also introduced on both full-time and part-time
basis. Since then there have been more than 50 candidates who have been awarded. In the year 1988,
the One year BLIS and One year MLIS programme were transformed into an Integrated Two year
Programme. In 1996, UGC recognised this Department under its Special Assistance Programme
(SAP), thus becoming the first Department in this field to be accorded with this Status in the country.
The Department completed SAP Phase – III in 2012. The thrust areas include Computer Applications
in Information Storage and Retrieval, Design and Development of Multilingual Databases,
Multimedia, E-Publishing, Infometrics, Digitization and Automation of Libraries and Information
Centres. All of this paved way for the Department to be brought under the faculty of Sciences and in
1993 for the first time in India, M.Sc Library and Information Science was introduced at the
Department. In accordance with the UGC recommendation regarding the uniformity in nomenclature
of the PG in Library & Information Science at the national level, the nomenclature of the degree was
changed to as M.Lib.I.Sc. (Master of Library and Information Science) in 2015.
The Department is equipped with a computer laboratory and a well stocked library which are
extensively utilised by the students and scholars of the Department. The Department has excellent
infrastructure in terms of LCD projector equipped classrooms and other electronic equipment paving
way for an enhanced learning, teaching and research environment. The Department has tie ups with
some of the best institutions where our students undertake internships.

SCHOOL OF FINE AND PERFORMING ARTS
On 19th May 1932, the Registrar of the University issued a notice announcing the starting of
a Department of Indian Music. Hitherto music was taught only in Queen Mary’s College, an
affiliated college of the University, conducting the B.A. degree course in the subject. A one-year
course leading to a Diploma was instituted. Along with the Diploma course, admission to Research
also started.
Thiru K. Varadachariar, the great musician, respectfully and popularly called “Tiger”, was the
first lecturer and Head of the Department. With the help of two teaching assistants he conducted the
classes in Vocal, Vina and Violin and also guided Research students. Eminent scholars like Thiru
M.S.Ramaswami Ayyar and Thiru P.Sambamoorthi were invited to give lectures to students on The
History and Theory of Music, respectively.
The establishment of the Department was hailed in music circles all over India and very soon
enquiries about the course came pouring in even from as far a place as Rajkot. The diploma course
was soon intensified and made into a two-year course from August 1937. Two years later the
University also introduced an Oriental title course, Sangita Sironmani, though the department as such
did not offer the course. Enrolment of Students for research leading to the M.Litt. degree was also
started and in 1940 the first M.Litt: degree was awarded.
In the late forties, Indian Music was introduced in Stella Maris College, Madras, also. In late
fifties, M.A. course was commenced there with its students coming to the Department for the Inter-
106
Collegiate classes. Gradually enrolment for Ph.D. degree also commenced in the department.
During the twenty-five years, i.e., from 1937 to 1961, Thiru P. Sambamoorthy was the Head of
the Department, initially as a Lecturer and later from 1952 as a Reader. This period witnessed all round
activity in teaching, performance and research. Dr. T. Vishwanathan and Dr. Miss Isaac followed him
as the Heads of the Department. In 1975, Dr. Miss S. Seetha, Lecturer, took over charge and became a
Reader and in quick succession was appointed the first Professor. In 1991, Dr. M.B. Vedavalli
succeeded her and in 1995 Dr. N.Ramanathan took over the position as the Head of the
Department. In 1998 when the departments in the University were classified under Schools the
Department was placed under the School of Fine and Performing Arts of which Dr. N.Ramanathan was
the Chairperson until 2002-2003. Dr. M. Premeela was appointed as Professor and Head of the
Department and Chairperson from 2003, She belongs to the First batch of the M.A, degree course in
Indian Music instituted in the Department in the year 1976.
The M.A. teaching, which had been suspended in colleges was revised and started in the
Department in 1976. With this there was a spurt in teaching and research and other cultural activity.
Soon a long-time grievance—that there existed no facility for men candidates to do B.A. degree
course in music in Madras University also got redressed. In 1982, the B.A. degree course in Indian
Music began to be conducted in the Department. This course was later adopted in the B.A.
correspondence stream by the Institute of Correspondence Education. This course was, in 1987,
introduced in the Open University System also. In 1986, the M.Phil course was commenced. In 1998,
the University adopted the Credit Based Semester System under which the Curriculum in the
Department was re-organised.
In the year 2003-2004, the Department under the Industrial Consultancy Programme of the
UICIC of the University of Madras, has introduced the Three Months Certificate Programme in
Understanding Music and Dance Music (Bharathanatyam).
In the year 2004-2005, the Department of Indian Music, has introduced the M.A. degree
course in Bharathanatyam under the Choice Based Credit System under Self-Supportive Mode.
From the year 2004-2006, Six month Certificate Courses in (i) Karnatic Music,
(ii) Hindustani Music, (iii) Harikatha and Bhajana and (iv) Western Music, have been introduced
under the Industrial Consultancy Programme of the UICIC.
In the year 2006-2007, the Department of Indian Music, has introduced the M.A. degree
course in Rhythmology and M.A. degree course in Folk Music under the Choice Based Credit System.
Currently the Department has more than 5000 books and 1000 published Audio Cassette tapes
covering South Indian, North Indian and Other systems of World Music. Also books on Dance, Drama,
Culture and History are available. Over 1500 prominent Indian and Foreign Journals facilitate serious
research work. The Department also has photocopies and microfilms of Manuscripts. Audio-visual
equipments, music discs, Audio-video tapes, Television, Projector, Cameras along with Musical
Instruments and Computer with Music software in CD-ROMs for deeper and wide understanding of
Indian Music.

SCHOOL OF ENGLISH AND FOREIGN LANGUAGES
The School of English and Foreign Languages consists of two Departments : English
and French and other Foreign Languages.
The Department of English was established in 1969 and it started specializing in Literary
112
Criticism, Commonwealth Literature, American Literature and English Language teaching. In the
last decade it has moved into Postcolonial and Culture Studies. Gender, Theatre, Translation, Dalit,
Australian and Canadian Studies have become Core Courses. English for corporate communication,
Technical writing are the thrust areas in electives.
The Indian High Commission in London first proposed the creation of French and German
Departments in the University of Madras. In 1928, French was taught in the intermediate and
Bachelors courses. In 1983, a full-fledged Department of French came into being offering M.A,
M.Phil and Ph.D programmes in French as well as certificate and Diploma courses in French, German
and Italian. In 2010, the Department of French was renamed as Department of French and Other
Foreign Languages and now also offers elective courses in French, German, Italian, Russian and
Spanish. Our fields of specialization are Teaching of French as a Foreign Language, Quebec studies,
Comparative Literature and Translation.

SCHOOL OF EARTH AND ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCES
The School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences (SEAS) comprises of three Departments
namely Geology, Applied Geology, and Geography.
The Department of Geology was established in 1952. The Department of Geology was
recognized by the University Grants Commission (UGC), which awarded Special Assistance
Programme under DRS Level - I for the period 1994 to 1999. The Department was subsequently
awarded Special Assistance Programme (Phase -II) by UGC was sanctioned Rs.30.2 lakhs for the
period 2000 to 2005. As the Department had executed various multi- research and academic
programmes most effectively, the UGC further awarded the COSIST (ASIST) Program (Phase -I) to
the Department and sanctioned Rs.68 lakhs for Research and Developmental Programmes for the
period 2001 to 2006.
The Department is also sponsored by DST through FIST Programme for 5 years from 2002 to
2007 and was sanctioned an amount of Rs.60 lakhs for Infrastructural Development.
The Department has been awarded DSA by University Grants Commission (UGC) and
sanctioned an amount of Rs.56 lakhs for Research and Developmental Programmes for the period
2007 to 2012.
TEACHING & RESEARCH ACTIVITIES
The Department of Geology is pursuing research in the fields of Micropaleontology, Igneous

and Metamorphic Petrology, Sedimentology, Sedimentary Petrology, Marine Geochemistry and
Ecology, Hydrogeology and Geology. The Department has also been sanctioned several research
projects for its faculty from various funding agencies like UGC, DST, MOES, CSIR, INCOIS, etc.
The Department offers a two year (Four semesters) M.Sc Geology Programme and one year
(Two Semester) M.Phil. Geology Programme. The Department also offers Full-time and Part-time
147
Research Programmes leading to Ph.D. Degree in different specialized fields of Geology. The
Department has produced a number of Ph.D. Degrees and the alumni of this Department are
occupying eminent positions in National and International Universities, Institutes and Research
organizations.
Recognizing the extensive consultancy potential of the Faculty of the Department,

Organisations such as ONGC, Hardy Exploration and Production Inc & TAMIN have utilized the
services of the Department through University Industry Community Interaction Cell (UICIC) of
University of Madras. It is of immense delight that various International Research institutes are
coming forward and approaching us for collaboration.
The Department of Applied Geology was established in the University of Madras in 1952 and
has been functioning in the Maraimalai Campus. During the last six decades, the Department has made
significant strides in academics and research. The Department has supervised more than 70 Ph.Ds, 10
M.Phils. and about 600 M.Sc. scholars and students in Applied Geology. Part-time Research scholars
are from the following organizations: Public Works Department, Institute of Remote Sensing, Central
Ground Water Board, Tamil Nadu Water Supply and Drainage Board, Tata Consultancy Services,
Cognizant Techniques & Solutions, Hi-tech Diagnostic, Department of Geology and Mining, Institute
of Water Studies, Tamil Nadu Minerals Limited, Neyveli Lignite Corporation Limited, National
Remote Sensing Agency (NRSA, Hyderabad) and Zylog Systems.
The Department has the facilities and infrastructure for carrying out petrological,
sedimentological, micropaleontological, environmental geochemistry, groundwater targeting and
contamination, hydrogeological, geophysical, oceanographic, paleoceanographic, paleoclimatic,
geomorphological and coastal environmental investigations. The Department offers consultancy
services for: (a) Delineation of potential zones of groundwater and groundwater assessment, well design
and construction, demarcation of salt water-fresh water interface and river basin studies (b) Ore
reserve estimation and preparation of thin sections of minerals, rocks, fossils, and polished ores (c)
Geological and geophysical investigations for civil engineering problems (d) Granite quality studies
(e) Groundwater analysis (f) Rock, mineral and ore analysis (g) Environmental Impact Analysis,
pollution studies (h) Processing and interpretation of geological/geophysical, geochemical and
hydrogeological data and mathematical modeling and (i) Remote sensing and GIS applications to
geological and environmental studies including integrated coastal zone management (ICZM)
(j) Paleoenvironmental and tsunami modeling. Atomic Absorption Spectroscopic (AAS) instrument
for heavy metal analysis facility is available in our Department. The Geological Museum of the
Department is a treasure house for collections of rocks, minerals, fossils, etc. and has been visited by
several schools in the city.
The Department of Geography at the Madras University is one of the oldest Departments in
this country and celebrated its Golden Jubilee in the year 1983. The academic efforts received a great
fillip in 1976 when the faculty was strengthened and new courses for M.Sc. Applied Geography was
introduced. The department has periodically updated the curriculum.
The Department currently has academic programmes for M.Sc. and Ph.D. Degrees. The M.Sc.
Applied Geography Programme is a very specialised one with heavy inputs on applied aspects of the
discipline especially GIS, EIA and Remote Sensing. The success of the training imparted to the
students is reflected in their ready absorption in jobs and in specialized programmer. From the
academic year 2000-2001 onwards a new need based industry oriented programme viz. M.Sc. Spatial
information Technology is offered in addition to the existing course. This course is to promote GIS
technology and mapping science in our country. PG Diploma in GIS Management is yet another need
based course offered as University - Industry and Community Interaction Centre (UICIC) programme.
It is offered as an evening programme from the academic year 1999-2000 onwards. The Ph.D.
programme is a specialised one with emphasis on socially relevant research such as agricultural and
rural geography, watershed management, integrated area of planning marketing geography, urban and
148
metropolitan problems, quantitative and spatial analysis in geography, social and area analysis, heath
care delivery systems and environmental problems.
The department is collaborating with the Botany, Zoology and Geology Departments in
conducting inter-disciplinary courses. The courses are often designed in collaboration with the
Statistics and Computer Science departments.
The Department has been assisting the State Planning Department, Ground Water
Department of Tamil Nadu, Water Institute of Government of Tamil Nadu and Institute of Remote
Sensing (Anna University) in research programmes and has developed good academic contacts with
ISRO, Bangalore; NRSA, Hyderabad; Survey of India, Hyderabad Land and Survey Records of Tamil
Nadu, Town and Country Planning of The Government of Tamil Nadu and CMDA, Chennai to name
a few.
The Department has also been alive towards strengthening the teaching of geography in the
affiliated colleges and to that end, has been organizing Refresher courses, Workshops and
Curriculum Development Programmes.

The school consists of National Centre for Ultrafast Process (NCUFP] and National Centre
for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology.
National Centre for Ultrafast Process was established in 1997 initially as a DST-IRHPA-
National facility-the first of its kinds for the use of researchers in academic institutions for time
resolved emission and absorption studies in the pico and femto-second time scale. With the input of
funds for separate building from the Tamil Nadu Government, the centre emerged as an advanced
centre for research and the Senate of University of Madras approved the centre as a part of University
of Madras and made it as an Advanced Centre for Research in November - 2000. The centre has now
emerged as a premier centre for photonics and ultrafast spectroscopy. The centre has mobilized
research grants to the tune Rs.700 lakhs through several funded projects including the DST-IRPHA
1st Phase, 2nd Phase, UGC Innovative Programme and research projects from other funding agencies
like DST-SERC, DRDO,CSIR.
NCUFP houses hi-tech laser facilities in the time resolution of nanosecond, picosecond and
femto second to cater to the needs of Chemists, Physicists and Biologists. The research activities of
the centre include electron transfer, proton transfer, solvation dynamics, nanomaterials,
Supramolecular inorganic and polymeric systems, liquid crystals. The centre has a collaborative DRDO
193
research project with Regional Research Laboratory, Trivandrum. The Centre has more than 150 users
from different parts of the country. The in-house scientists and the users of the centre have produced
more than 150 publications in the high impact factor journals like, J.Am. Chem. Soc, J,Phys. Chem,
Org. Lett, J.Org. Chem,-Chem. Phys. Chem, Chem. Phys. Letts, etc. during the last decade. In-house
