The college was quick to seize upon a sudden shower of good will and support from the state government for academic expansion and advancement. The above table shows the alacrity of the college in grabbing the opportunity that came its way following a long lull and stagnation of the 1980’s.The choice of the courses asked for and obtained is fully reflective of the vision and mission of the college. The entrenched programmes like B. Sc. Zoology, B.Sc Computer science , B. A. English and B. Sc. Chemistry clearly reflects a desire for vertical growth by the inclusion of Post graduate programmes in these specialised domains as well.
These new courses in 2013 were initiated as there was a growing demand for the same. Courses such as B.A. Defence and Strategic studies and B. Sc. Visual Communication are not offered in any other government college in Chennai. This college is also the first in Chennai to offer B. Sc.Nutrition Food Service Management and Dietetics Programme to both male and female students. Also, the course fees for some of the above mentioned programmes are high in private institutions. Initiating these programmes at a subsidized fee provides an opportunity for students from economically challenged background to pursue their dreams in these areas too. In 2014 the department of Economics started part time Ph.D started from 2018 onwards both part time and full time Ph.D was offered. Another feather in the college cap was the initiation of B.A. Tamil in 2018.
