 PREFACE
Maharaja’s College, Ernakulam is a unique institution of higher learning in the State. Its hoary
tradition and consistent achievements in various fields of human activity envelop it with a halo of
an outstanding temple of knowledge. Spread over a 25 acre campus, the College stands in the
heart of the metro city of Kochi, with easy accessibility by road, rail, air or waterways. The
College campus is refreshingly green thanks to the shady trees and gardens, fresh water ponds,
etc. that lend a sylvan ambience to the premises.

Started in 1845 as a school, it was upgraded as a College in 1875 by the then Maharaja of Cochin.
The history of the College is in a way the history of the State. Many of the alumni of the College
have risen to be luminaries in the whole gamut of life. Originally an elite institution catering to
the upper strata of society, the College metamorphosed over the years into an educational
institution embracing all sects of the society, especially the underprivileged, without toning down
the contents of the curriculum or the standards of excellence. At the same time, it has been
striving to uphold social equity while providing quality education to all.

The College is a centre of excellence with 11 departments offering research facilities for Ph.D.
Apart from this, 17 departments offer under graduate courses and postgraduate courses in various
disciplines. The College has 15- acre playground with state of the art synthetic track, pavilion,
etc. The College has been doing well in the Mahatma Gandhi University youth festival, bagging
the first place or runner up position consistently. Many of the winners have cut a niche for
themselves in the fields of cinema, television or the media.

The Government of Kerala has accorded the Centre of Excellence status to the College in view
of the plethora of distinctions bagged by the College in various fields in succession. The UGC has
capped it with the title College with Potential for Excellence. The NAAC reaccredited the
College with A Grade in 2013. The College has got another feather on its cap with its inclusion
in the Cluster of Colleges – a body exclusively formed to share the resources of a few select
Colleges in and around the city.

The College was elevated to the status of Autonomous College by the Government of Kerala and
UGC in the year 2014. This is the only GovernmentCollege in Kerala which has been granted
autonomy. The College is going ahead with its own admission process, curriculum and
examination system from the academic year 2015-16 on. It is with great satisfaction that the
College presents the Prospectus for admission to the Post Graduate Programmes, 2018-19 to the
entire student community.
