National College, Tiruchirapalli was founded in June, 1919, thanks to the munificence of the late Diwan Bahadur S Rm CT Pethachi Chettiar, Zamindar of Andipatti and the collective initiative and zeal of Justice T V Seshagiri Iyer, Sir T Desikachariar, N D Subbarama Iyer and Sri.
Vision
The college in fact had its origin to the National High School founded on the 11th of June 1886. The nascent nationalism of three illustrious teachers - Messrs G Sesha Iyengar, P G Sundaresa Sastrigal and B.S.Venkataramana Sarma - led to the founding of this school.
Mission
College functioned in the old Teppakulam campus for nearly four decades from 1919. The shifting of the College campus from Teppakulam to the Junction area began with the acquisition of land in 1957-58. Forty years after its inception, on 8th July 1959, the College was shifted to the new buildings within easy reach from the Railway Junction on the Tiruchy - Dindigul Road.
