The Arts and Science College, which started functioning as a junior college, was formally declared open by Prof Samuel Mathai, the then Vice- Chancellor, University of Kerala, on 24 June 1965. The foundation stone for the main building was also laid by Prof Mathai. The student strength was hardly 500, with a faculty of 15 supported by 10 non-teaching staff. In the year 1977, the college was upgraded, with the introduction of the degree course in Botany. Degree courses in Chemistry and Commerce were introduced in 1978 and 1979 respectively. In 1980, Mathematics, Physics and Islamic History departments were added. In the following year, the institution became a post-graduate college with the introduction of the M.Com. course. The degree course in Zoology was also sanctioned in the same year. The college has been included under the UGC scheme since 1986. In 1998, as a result of pre-degree delinking, the college became exclusively a centre for higher education. Semesterisation was introduced for PG courses in 2001 and UG in 2010. By the time the institution came round to celebrating her Silver Jubilee, in 1990-91, the student strength had shot up to more than 4000 and the institution had become a force to reckon with.
