In the educational heartland of Tamil Nadu, Dhanalakshmi Srinivasan University (DSU) emerges as a beacon of transformation, embodying the principle: “Grow. Make others grow.”
Established as the first state private university under the Tamil Nadu State Private Universities Act, 2019, DSU represents the culmination of a bold vision to make world-class education accessible, inclusive, and impactful.
A foundation rooted in vision
Founded in Perambalur, the Dhanalakshmi Srinivasan Group of Institutions began its journey in 1994, under the leadership of A Srinivasan, whose agricultural roots and passion for public service inspired the establishment of institutions that could uplift generations through education.
What began as a single school has evolved into a vast academic network, culminating in the establishment of DSU — a symbol of excellence and inclusion.
Academic breadth with purpose
DSU offers a wide array of academic programmes across disciplines, including Engineering, Medicine, Agriculture, Law, Architecture, Nursing, Allied Health Sciences, Arts & Science, and Teacher Education. The university houses three full-fledged medical colleges, distinguished for combining advanced clinical training with compassionate care. Each academic stream is thoughtfully curated to cultivate industry relevance, research competence, and social responsibility.
Technology-driven learning
In response to the evolving demands of the modern world, DSU has embedded emerging technologies into its academic DNA. Students receive hands-on exposure in areas such as App Development (Apple Lab), Drone Technology (in collaboration with Dautya Aerospace), and Augmented/Virtual Reality, ensuring they graduate with practical expertise that matches industry expectations. The university also features Amazon Web Services (AWS) Academy, Oracle Academy, and Microsoft Learn for Educators Center, fostering digital fluency and global tech-readiness.
Future-focused expansion
DSU’s vision extends beyond boundaries. The university is actively working to expand its footprint across Tamil Nadu and into other Indian states, establishing new campuses and programmes aligned with future industry needs. Interdisciplinary research hubs, sustainability initiatives, and innovation accelerators form a critical part of this growth strategy.
Placements with purpose
With over 4,000 students successfully placed, DSU maintains a strong reputation for employability. The university partners with top recruiters such as TCS, Infosys, Wipro, HCL, Zoho, Cognizant, Capgemini, ICICI Bank, and Axis Bank, providing students with exceptional placement opportunities. A comprehensive training ecosystem prepares students in communication, technical aptitude, and industry soft skills — ensuring graduates are not only employable but truly future-ready.

Student growth is supported through mentorship, innovation clubs, social engagement programmes, and a strong emphasis on mental wellness and ethical leadership.
