Tamil Nadu Agricultural University (TNAU) stands as a distinguished institution with a rich legacy in providing agricultural education for over a century. Its roots trace back to the establishment of an Agricultural School in Saidapet, Chennai, in 1868, which later relocated to Coimbatore in 1906. Affiliated with the University of Madras in 1920, TNAU initially offered a three-year degree program, becoming the sole institute for agricultural education in South India until 1946. Over the years, TNAU evolved into a hub for higher education, achieving recognition as a Postgraduate Centre in 1958, offering Masters and Doctoral degrees. As a non-profit public higher education institution, TNAU has garnered accolades, notably becoming the first State Agricultural University (SAU) accredited by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR).

In the realm of national rankings, TNAU has consistently excelled. In the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) 2023 by the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), TNAU secured the fifth position among State Agricultural Universities in India. Additionally, it claimed the 68th spot in the ‘Overall’ category and the 44th position in the ‘Universities’ category. Internationally, TNAU made its mark by ranking 105th in QS-BRICS.
