Promising Stars Among Arts and Science Colleges of Tamil Nadu-1
This is the first article in the series of six articles. These six articles are a continuation of the seven articles published recently, the Shining Stars articles that showcased 21 colleges in different parts of Tamil Nadu. The ecosystem of Arts and Science Colleges in Tamil Nadu is so huge that we have another eighteen to be covered in six articles.
Introduction
This new series of six articles is another endeavour to present the next best 18 colleges spread all over the State of Tamil Nadu. As already pointed out in the last article in the previous series, Shining Stars Among Non-Chennai Arts and Science Colleges in Tamil Nadu, there are many colleges in Tamil Nadu that are promising and will automatically make the grade to admit students from all over India and from countries like Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Singapore and the Gulf countries as well. The important point about the earlier series was that I did not want to present all the Coimbatore colleges, as we will be covering twelve odd colleges in the same city, in the series of seven articles, and that would be an injustice to the other good colleges in other cities. Hence, this new series. It should be noted that these colleges are as good, or sometimes even better, than those presented in the first series.
The rest of the five articles will cover information about other promising colleges in other cities of Tamil Nadu. In this article, we will start our focus on three high-quality colleges of Coimbatore city, Dr.N.G.P Arts and Science College, the Rathinam College of Arts and Science, and the Hindustan College of Arts and Science. Coimbatore, the second largest city of Tamil Nadu, that is a mini-metro of sorts and is among the fastest-growing cities of India, has too many colleges of all kinds and is home to the famous Bharathiyar University.
