The state of Tamilnadu in India is one of the most developed states in the field of higher education. It considers knowledge as the prime mover of development and aims for quality and excellence. This revolution has caused much interest in the application of culture to the management of institutions of higher education. The study aimed to realise the culture and style of management practiced by arts and science colleges in Vellore District, Tamilnadu. The instrument on Organisational Culture Profile by Udai Pareek dealing with eight cultural variables was used in this study.
