The institute carries forward the old Ponnani tradition of scholar training.[2] The Nizami curriculum used at Jami'a Nooriyya is a modified version of the syllabus utilized at the al-Baqiyyat-us-Salihat College at Vellore (with Shafi'i Law for Hanafi Law).[1]
Jami'a Nooriyya celebrates its anniversary in February–March of every year.[3]
