About
One of India's three original 1857 universities, the University of Madras spreads across six campuses in Chennai and anchors higher education in northern Tamil Nadu. It is best known as the academic home of two physics Nobel laureates, C. V. Raman and S. Chandrasekhar, both of whom studied at Presidency College under its charter. Today the university itself concentrates on postgraduate and doctoral work while its affiliated colleges handle most undergraduate teaching.
