==Campus==
==History==
The main campus is spread over 500 acres in the two revenue villages of Neelakudi and Nagakudi of the [[Thiruvarur]] District and is on a fast track development. The Tamil Nadu government has embarked upon a road widening project that allows for a two way wide road for both the campuses linking both sides of the state highways to Mayiladuthurai-Chennai and Kumbakonam-Chennai. An elevated bridge connects the two campuses that are separated by river Vettar. A Kendriya Vidyalaya was started in the Nagakudi Residential Campus in July 2013 and presently it has classes up to Standard 12. The campus is self-sufficient with ATMs in both the campuses, a BSNL Exchange with Mobile Tower, a post office and an SBI bank branch.
CUTN was established by the [[Government of India]] in 2009 under the ''Central Universities Act, 2009''.<ref>{{cite web|title=Central Universities Act, 2009|url=http://planipolis.iiep.unesco.org/upload/India/India_Central_universities_act_2009.pdf|publisher=Ministry of Law and Justice  (Legislative Department)|access-date=14 April 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304100602/http://planipolis.iiep.unesco.org/upload/India/India_Central_universities_act_2009.pdf|archive-date=2016-03-04|url-status=dead}}</ref> It was inaugurated in September 2009 and [[B.
