The Mazharul Uloom College was founded by the Ambur Muslim Educational Society (AMES) in 1969 with the united efforts of a dedicated team under the initiative, support and guidance of the great leather industrialist and philanthropist Late Janab Anaikar Abdul shukoor Sahib.

The College started with a few students and has now grown over the years like a snowball with increasing number of students and teaching and non-teaching staff members catering to the ever increasing students population. It is situated on its own grounds of 21.5 acres along with the newly founded AMES College of Education from the academic year 2003-2004.
The College, true to the vision of its founders, caters to learner at large transcending the limits of caste, colour and creed with five UG courses in the Shift I and five UG and two PG Courses in the Shift II
