The C. Abdul Hakeem College was established in the year 1965 by the Melvisharam [[Muslim]] Educational Society (MMES) which was founded in 1918 by Late [[Nawab]] C. Abdul Hakeem. He was a businessman, [[philanthropist]], one of the natives of [[Melvisharam]] and one time [[Sheriff]] of Madras. MMES started off with Primary, Secondary and Higher Education for people irrespective of [[caste]], creed, community or social status.<ref>{{Cite web|url = http://hakeemcollege.com/about-management|title = About Management|website = C Abdul Hakeem College|accessdate = 3 April 2014}}{{Dead link|date=June 2021 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> Presently, MMES manages 11 institutions from kindergarten school to a first grade college with five [[postgraduate]] departments and three research departments. They include M.M.E.S. arts and science college for women and [[C. Abdul Hakeem College of Engineering & Technology]].

The College was instituted in the year 1965 with just Pre-University Course, in the local [[orphanage]] buildings. Subsequently, the M.M.E.S. acquired a site of more than 67 acres, on the eastern outskirts of the town, on the [[Chennai]]-[[Bangalore]] Trunk road, and constructed buildings to house the College and the hostels.

The College campus is spread over an area of about 21 acres. The College has a double story building with different blocks which accommodate all the class rooms, office rooms, principal's chambers, separate staff rooms for various departments, [[laboratories]], [[toilets]], etc. Although there are sizable number of [[academic departments]], the facilities are mostly shared. There is an auditorium which is also used for social, cultural, academic and government sponsored programs. A branch of the [[Centurion Bank]] with [[Automated teller machine|ATM]] facility is located in the nearby campus of the engineering college run by the same management. A sub-post office is functioning in the College campus. Although the institution is four decades old, the open land is to be fully converted into gardens or other useful buildings. Significant amount of rainwater is harvested using [[rainwater harvesting]] facility.<ref>{{Cite web|url = http://hakeemcollege.com/facilities-infrastructure|title = Infrastructure|accessdate = 3 April 2014|website = C.
