The University of Calicut is the largest University in Kerala. Established in the year 1968, it is the second university to be set up in Kerala.
The University aims to nurture excellence in education and research in its catchment areas of Northern Kerala, historically consigned to the periphery of Kerala’s academic map. The University lays its emphasis on fostering quality human resource and promoting productive research that benefit both local communities and wider humanity.The University was created through a Government plan bifurcating Kerala University. As per the plan, the four post-graduate departments of the University of Kerala operating in Calicut were annexed to the new University along with fifty four constituent colleges spread across seven northern districts. With Nirmaya Karmana Sree as it motto, the University has been able to surmount all challenges and emerge as the largest residential cum affiliating University in Kerala. With 30 post graduate departments and 373 affiliated colleges it has become a beacon of hope and enlightenment for hundreds of thousands of young men and women in North Kerala.
The Calicut University Library was established in 1971 and later renamed after C.H. Mohammed Koya (former Minister for Education, Government of Kerala). It is primarily concerned with the conservation and dissemination of knowledge to its users. It plays an important role in the provision of information to the academic community in the Malabar region. It has a collection of about 95,000 books, and subscribes to 218 journals and 10 newspapers.
The library follows the Anglo American Cataloguing Rules II (with slight modifications) for cataloging and the Dewey Decimal Scheme of Classification for the classification of books.
It has the distinction of being the first fully automated university library in the state of Kerala.
The library is situated at the main campus at Thenhippalam on the side of the NH 17.
Apart from the university library, a study center library is functioning at Calicut to serve the academic community in the city.
