The college was founded in 1965. Located in a sprawling area of acres of rustic land, the college is run by the Society for Higher Education of the S.I.U.C. community of South Kerala of Diocese of the C.S.I. This institution caters to the educational needs of students mostly from Neyyattinkara and Nedumangadu Taluks.

The college had a humble beginning with 300 students and about ten teachers. It was upgraded in 1976. It now offers two degree courses in Arts, five in Science and a P.G. course in Botany. The student strength exceeds 3500. There are 104 teaching and 64 non-teaching staff on the rolls. Many teachers possess research degrees.

The college can legitimately boast of very high results in the University examinations. N.C.C. and N.S.S units function effectively; extra-curricular activities initiated with the interest of the management give ample opportunities for the all round development of students.

The library and laboratories are well-equipped. The biotechnology lab is fully developed. The spacious auditorium is the envy of any one. The stadium and the various courts provide opportunities for training in sports and games.

There are two college buses for the use of students and staff. The P. T. A. is very active. Students of the college have occupied high positions in the Kerala University Union.
