Thereafter it expanded to include an Arts and Science College, College of Engineering and Technology, College of Education, Research Institution, and Polytechnic College.

In 2004, Ponnappan Ramajayam College applied for NAAC assessment and accreditation and was awarded an "A" grade, thus making it the first "A" grade awarded college in the Bharathidasan University area.[ citation needed ] The college then submitted its proposal to the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India for deemed university status. [3]
