Periyar Maniammai Institute of Science & Technology (PMIST), formerly Periyar Maniammai College of Technology for Women and Periyar Maniammai University (PMU), is a private deemed-to-be-university[1] headquarters is in the town of Vallam in Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu, India. The campus is on 216 acres (87 ha) 45 km (28 mi) east of Tiruchirapalli and 10 km (6.2 mi) west of Thanjavur.
History[edit]
PMIST was established in 1998 as Periyar Maniammai College of Technology for Women, named after social reformers Periyar and his wife Annai E. V. R. Maniammai. The college was originally affiliated to Bharathidasan University until 2001, when it was reassigned to Anna University. In 2007 it was awarded the deemed-to-be-university status and renamed as Periyar Maniammai University.[2] In 2010, it was one of 44 institutions which were due to lose the deem university status,[3] which resulted in student protest and violence.[4] The decision was halted by the Supreme Court[5] and the issue was left undecided until 2014.[6] In 2017, following the University Grants Commission's directive to 123 institutes not to use "university" in the title of deemed universities, it was renamed Periyar Maniammai Institute of Science & Technology.[7]
