History
In 1952, the Agurchand Manmull Jain College was established by the magnanimity and munificence of Padmasri Mohanmulji Chordia through the Sri.S.S.Jain Educational Society, at the Inspiration of her Holiness Shri.Sayar Kanwarji Maharaj. Shri. Sri Prakasa, the then Governor of Madras Presidency, performed the auspicious task of inauguration on 25 June 1952 at the Jain Boarding Home Premises in Madley Road, T.Nagar. The college was shifted to its new campus in Meenambakkam in 1954. On that occasion, two educationists, Dr. S. Radhakrishnan (the then vice-president of India) and Dr. A. Lakshmanaswami Mudaliar (the then Vice-Chancellor of the University of Madras) attended. The former laid the foundation stone and the latter presided over the function.
The college celebrated its Silver Jubilee in 1977, its Golden Jubilee in 2002 and its Diamond Jubilee in 2012. The college which started as a college for men was upgraded into a co-educational institution in 2003. As of 2016, it is a frontline top ranking research and post-graduate institution. There are three research departments – physics, mathematics and economics – as well as post-graduate courses in commerce, chemistry, physics, economics and mathematics and basic graduate courses in eight major fields of study.
