The emblem of the university is a traditional ‘kuthuvilakku’, a veena, a lotus and a book are placed in front of a traditionally decorated house ensconced by a circular line around which the name of the university is written. At the bottom the motto of the university ‘Seek and Ye Shall Find’ is written. The kuthuvilakku symbolises knowledge.

Veena symbolises the Goddess of learning, Saraswat, who symbolises knowledge and wisdom. It signifies positivity and divine blessings. The lotus denotes purity, enlightenment, rebirth, transformation, personal growth, resilience, overcoming obstacles and divine beauty; the book symbolises knowledge and wisdom and the house with traditional decorations symbolises the origin of the university as a college of home science.
