ip of noted Chartered Accountant, Janab. 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, Roteract 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. 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.

Most people think Mathematics leads to a classroom.

The truth? It helped build one of the most influential companies in the world.

Before Google became a global technology giant, it began with a research paper, mathematical thinking, and the ability to solve complex problems through logic, structure, patterns, and data.

That is the power of Mathematics.

Algebra powers algorithms.
Calculus helps systems adapt and improve.
Logic drives intelligent decision-making.
Statistics turns uncertainty into insight.

The careers of the future from Artificial Intelligence and Data Science to Cyber Security, Software Development, Finance, Research, and Climate Science are built on mathematical foundations.

This carousel explores how mathematical concepts shape the technologies we use every day and why Mathematics remains one of the most versatile and future-ready disciplines.

Swipe through and discover how a degree in Mathematics can open doors far beyond what most people imagine.

Biodiversity is not just about protecting wildlife.
It is about protecting the delicate balance that sustains life itself.

Every forest, river, ocean, insect, bird, and species plays a role in maintaining the health of our planet. When biodiversity declines, ecosystems weaken and humanity feels the impact through climate change, food insecurity, environmental degradation, and loss of natural resources.

On this International Biodiversity Day, The New College reaffirms the importance of awareness, sustainability, conservation, and scientific responsibility towards our environment.

As institutions of learning, we also carry the responsibility of nurturing future generations who will protect, preserve, and innovate for a more sustainable world.

Because protecting biodiversity is ultimately about protecting our collective future. 🌍🌱
