Pudukkottai is a historical place, the princely state of the Thondamans. It was the first native domain to merge voluntarily with the Indian Union after Independence. When Pudukkottai District was formed in 1974, Pudukkottai town became the District Headquarters. The town began to progress steadily in various fields. Though there were two Arts Colleges and a College of Education, Pudukkottai had to wait for nearly two decades, for realising the revolutionary concept of higher education, in the form of a self-financing college of this kind. It is often said that education is the foundation of a nation and much of the nation's future and progress depend on her system of education. The system of education is in a state of flux, in conformity with the growing demands for new branches of knowledge and diversified advancements in the modern technological world. Foreseeing this, the Karpaga Vinayaga Educational Trust deemed it fit to start a new college with the name "J.J. College of Arts and Science" in order to fulfil the aspirations of the parents and the student population. Our College was inaugurated on 17th January, 1994 by the then Hon`ble Minister for Education, Prof. K. Ponnusamy, under the presidentship of the then Hon`ble minister for Housing and Urban Development, Mr. S. Regupathy,who is the founder of the College.The Bharathidasan University graciously accorded affiliation.
