For colleges and universities

A Centre of Excellence
for Tamil, on your campus

Level 13 takes Tamil into the discipline a student has already chosen — Engineering, Medicine, Law, Arts or Business. Not a general Tamil paper. The Tamil of their field.

Where Tamil goes at eighteen

A student who loved Tamil at school meets a syllabus that has nothing to do with them

By the time they reach you, Tamil has usually become one more paper to clear. It sits apart from the degree they came for, taught as literature to a room that came for engineering.

The language does not have to be the thing they set down in order to get on with their career. It can be part of it.

What a Centre of Excellence adds

  • Tamil taught inside the student's own discipline
  • A visible, nameable facility on your campus
  • Something concrete for accreditation and inspection files
  • Faculty trained, not replaced

Five streams, because one Tamil paper cannot serve five faculties

Level 13 is the college level of Thambaa Tamil Labs. It branches, so a medical student and a law student are not handed the same vocabulary.

Engineering

Live at Kings

Medicine

Law

Arts

Business

Underneath all five sits the same engine the schools use — 1.3 million activities, ten skills measured separately, and a monthly report for every student. And underneath that, the same grammar spine: at Level 13 it reaches நூல் பாயிரம், உருபியல் (morphology), யாப்பிலக்கணம் (prosody), பொருண்மையியல் (semantics) and comparative study of Tholkappiyam against Nannool. See what every level covers.

In good company

Two colleges have signed

MSN Pioneer Meenakshi Women's College at Poovanthi was the first higher-education institution to partner with the Academy. Kings Engineering College, Chennai — autonomous, affiliated to Anna University — is the first engineering college, and has taken Level 13 Engineering for its students.

A Centre of Excellence is being set up with each of them.

Set per student

A stream is assigned to a person, not to a class

One student in a cohort of two hundred can be on a different stream from everyone around them, and nothing about their timetable changes.

MSN Pioneer's first request of us was exactly that: one student, who has difficulty with listening, needing a reading-led route through the same curriculum. That is not an exception we make reluctantly. It is what the design is for.

What that means for a department head

You do not have to sort students into groups, timetable a second room, or find a second lecturer. The material adapts underneath a class that carries on as one class.

The full presentation

Nine chapters, opening with the college case

The first chapter is written for higher education. The eight that follow cover the curriculum, the modules and the books.

The console

What the department sees

The console your Tamil department runs the programme from. The whole cohort on one screen, then each section and each faculty member, with the ten skills separated out so a stream can be judged on more than a single mark.

The school dashboard: one overall average for the institution, counts of students, teachers, classes and levels, six status tiles, a bar chart of average by class and a ten-point skill radar
One number for the institution, and the six things worth knowing beside it — sessions run, learners engaged, learners above 80%, learners needing support, requests open, licences left
Two side-by-side lists: top performers school-wide with their level, student ID and score, and learners for whom support is recommended, with a level distribution chart below
Both ends of the room, named. The children doing well and the children who need someone this week — not at the end of term
A grid of ten class cards, each showing its level and section, the teacher's name, class average, student count, sessions run, the trend since last month and which lab it uses
Every class on one screen, with its teacher, its average and whether it moved up or down since last month
A class detail panel showing class average, attendance, student count and sessions, next to a ten-point radar comparing this class against the school average, with each of the ten skills listed below
Open a class and the ten skills separate out, drawn against the school average. This is where a teacher sees that listening is fine and speaking is not
A single learner's panel: overall average, rank in class, rank in school and attendance, beside a ten-point radar comparing that learner against the class average, with all ten skills listed below and the gap to the class shown on each
And down to one child. All ten skills, each with the gap to the class beside it — so “falling behind” becomes grammar and writing, specifically
Teacher cards showing each teacher's staff ID, the classes they handle, their student count and their average, with a comparison chart ranking all seven
Each teacher against the classes they actually handle. Useful for deciding who needs support — and who should be running the training
The requests page: three actions for level change, additional logins and student removal, above a history of six requests showing pending, approved and rejected states with dates and reference numbers
Move a learner between levels, ask for more logins, remove a child who has left. Every request tracked, with a reason recorded when one is turned down
The notifications page listing admin notices and broadcasts from KTA, including monthly reports ready, a new platform version, licence renewal, teacher training and planned maintenance
Reports ready, renewals due, training dates, maintenance windows. Everything we need to tell you, in one place rather than in your inbox

Sample data. Every name and figure in these screens is invented — no real learner appears. The console is in Tamil as well as English.
