History

The Periyar Maniammai Institute of Science & Technology was established in 1988 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. The decision on University status was halted by the Supreme Court and the issue was left undecided until 2014. In 2017, following the University Grants Commission's directive to 123 institutes of India not to use "university" in the title of deemed universities, it was renamed Periyar Maniammai Institute of Science & Technology.
