The College owes its existence to the indefatigable and daring efforts of ten Rev. Fathers who formed themselves into a society named, "The Latin Catholic Fishermen's Educational Society" (Regn. No. 13/78) Unmindful of the vague future and working under stress and strain, but depending on the Divine Providence, the society put forth its generous efforts which were crowned with success when, at last, the college was started with the permission of the Tamil Nadu Government in the academic year 1980-81. The College was affiliated to Madurai Kamaraj University in the Year 1980-81. With the establishment of Manonmaniam Sundaranar University at Tirunelveli in 1990, the College is now affiliated to it. The College is also recognized by UGC for grants under 2 (f) and 12(B).
It strives to establish a quality assurance system with continuous evaluation and monitoring of personalized and inclusive education imparted to achieve excellence and to prepare for global presence with a commitment for values and competence and being aware of our coastal and multicultural diversity
Oh! Our beloved St.Jude, intercede for us to the Lord to guide us in all our efforts throughout this academic year. We thank you for all the blessings and benefits showered on us through this institution. Bring peace and joy to all who enter the Campus-Amen.
