Sadakathullah Appa College, Tirunelveli was established in 1971 & Its affiliated to Manonmaniam Sundaranar University, Tirunelveli.

The College which celebrated its Silver Jubilee in the year 1999 volunteered for assessment by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC), Bangalore and was accredited with B+ in the year 2003. Subsequently the College was reaccredited with “A” Grade in the year 2009.

The College is located on a 40 acre sprawling campus and is run by Sadakathullah Appa Educational Society. It was first affiliated to Madurai Kamaraj University for 20 years. With the birth of the Manonmaniam Sundaranar University in 1990, the College was affiliated to it. It became co-educational in 1997. The College with a vision of providing quality higher education to all, especially the Muslim, both men and women, and other deprived, disadvantaged, underprivileged sections of the society, is equally committed to inculcate the students with spiritual and moral values. The College aims at producing holistic personalities by introducing globally relevant subjects and imbibing in them aptitude for learning, internalizing of best practices, Institutional culture and commitment towards community.

Students need to be aware of their social commitments and national obligations. For this, there are six National Service Scheme units in our College. The N.S.S Programme Officers of our College have been working as a team with dedication. Our College N.C.C. Unit has a Government sanctioned strength of 104 cadets with 33% reservation for girls. The college has a separate hostel for boys and girls.

The College has adopted Shift System from the academic year 2007-08. The introduction of the shift system is helpful to the students to join other Career Oriented Programmes conducted at our College. The classes for the students admitted in the Aided Courses commence at 8.00 A.M. and ends at 1.10 P.M. The Self-Finance Courses and other add-on courses are taught between 1.20 P.M. and 6.15 P.M. The College is now introducing new, learner-centered syllabi for all the courses to implement Choice Based Credit System which is a salient feature of Autonomous Colleges. We hope the institution would blossom soon as SADAKATHULLAH APPA UNIVERSITY.
