Mar Thoma College for Women, Perumbavoor

Mar Thoma College for Women, established in 1982, has, since the inception been an institution striving towards excellence in all spheres of higher education, catering to the educational requirements of women from various parts of the state. The college has played an instrumental role in the progress of the locality, contributing proactively to its growth and development. It has been particularly successful in molding generations of women into progressive thinkers and leaders contributing to the nation in multifarious ways. Over the years, the student strength has almost doubled and various new courses, including two PG courses, have been introduced to cater to the increasing needs of higher education in the region.
The student community of the college is a cross-section of society. The majority of the students of the college hail from socially and economically backward sections of the society. The total student strength at present is about 1000, of which SC/ST, OBC, and students from other minority communities constitute a substantial part. Being a women’s college, the institution has been significantly involved in the holistic development of young women for decades. It is the responsibility of the college to provide high-quality education for a broad range of students from all strata of society. The college has great potential to advance into a major higher educational institution in Kerala in the near future.
Being a premier institution in a backward region dominated by low-income families, the college has been striving to provide the best possible academic platform for underprivileged girls. Despite the challenges, our students have managed to bring laurels to the institution by being university toppers in the academic and non-academic arena. We have also enabled them to become financially empowered by helping them secure employment in reputed institutions.  Besides the regular courses, the college also conducts certificate courses and vocational training programs, including tailoring classes, PSC coaching, foreign language classes, and bank coaching.  These endeavors have hugely benefited our students who, in turn, contribute proactively to the welfare of the local community, thus contributing to its development. The institution has also been growing quantitatively as the increasing number of enrolments in various courses and the inclusion of new courses testify.
