PSGR Krishnammal College for Women is an autonomous women's college in Peelamedu, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, inaugurated in June 1963 under the GRG Trust. It is affiliated to Bharathiar University and was granted autonomous status by the UGC in 2004, followed by UGC College of Excellence certification in 2016. The GRG Trust is a distinct entity from the PSG & Sons' Charities trust that runs PSG College of Arts and Science and PSG College of Technology; the two are separate Coimbatore trusts, and this college should not be described as part of that other group.
The college holds NAAC A++ accreditation with a CGPA of 3.71, certified in its 4th accreditation cycle (certificate dated 17 August 2021, valid through 16 August 2028), and has maintained an A-range NAAC grade across all four of its accreditation cycles since 2001.
