Rathinam is more than just a college. It has a new idea in education that takes the concept to a higher stratum. It's an experience that no other educational institution in this category can offer. It's about life in all its dimensions - Learning, Working and Living. That is Rathinam with a difference. What the college offers has an impact on all aspects of life, to which learning is just one aspect. The college preempts what education in the future would be because any learning environment that exists in isolation, divorced from the reality of the world outside the campus is bound to be progressive in every respect.
