Where: Homepage hero, slide 1 of 5 (full-bleed; phones crop to portrait at the focal point)
Crop: Landscape 16:9. The headline sits BOTTOM-LEFT over a scrim, so keep the lower-left third quiet. A portrait 4:5 version would let phones stop cropping.
Shoot: Supplied by the client. A later reshoot should keep the same subject and framing, with students or staff in frame where possible.
Avoid: Empty grounds; posed rows facing the lens; harsh midday light.

Four towns. One family of institutions.

What it actually does

The Central Calendar

Sixteen institutions used to publish sixteen calendars, and major events landed on the same weekend more often than anyone admitted. One shared calendar makes the clash visible before it happens.

Filter by institution, category or place, and see the whole academic year at once.

The Member Network

A members-only directory of students, alumni, faculty and well-wishers across every campus and every generation.

Contact details stay hidden unless a member chooses to share them, and the directory is never visible to the public web.

Join the Member Network

The institutions

Every institution, what it does, when it was founded and where to find it — with a link straight out to its own website.

This page supplements those sites. It never replaces them.

The network is only as good as who is in it.

One school in Chetpet, 1968.

Alhaj B.S. Abdur Rahman founded a single school in Chetpet and moved it to Vandalur three years later. Everything since — a university, colleges, schools, a medical centre, an incubation centre — grew out of that one decision.

Sixteen institutions, fifty-seven years, two trusts.
