When established in 1986, R V S College of Arts and Science was the first self-financing college to be set up under the
Bharathiar University. It aims to provide a cost effective and high quality education.
The college offers UG and PG courses in a variety of disciplines. The curriculum is so designed that along with academics, an equal emphasis is given on co-curricular activities as well for the all round ability of the students. Other facilities in the campus include a well equipped library featuring over 20,000 books, periodicals, and journals, a full fledged placement unit, and state-of-the-art labs.
