St. Teresa’s College (Autonomous) Ernakulam, Kerala, a pioneering institution

committed to the cause of higher learning of women and their empowerment through
excellence in teaching, learning and research, was established on 15th June 1925 by the
Carmelite Sisters of St. Teresa under the leadership of the visionary foundress Servant of
God, Mother Teresa of St. Rose of Lima. This 99-year-old premier Minority Institution
provides education in line with the mission of the foundress, aimed at the integral
formation of intellectually creative, emotionally mature, morally responsible, spiritually
enlightened, socially committed and truly liberated women who will reposition
themselves as self-reliant and responsible individuals and agents of change who will
transform society. St. Teresa’s College is the first women’s College in Kochi and the
second in the state of Kerala. It holds the honour of being the first aided College for
women in the state. The College was granted autonomous status in 2014 and reaccredited
by NAAC with A++ Grade with CGPA of 3.57 in fourth cycle in August 2019 and was
ranked 41st by NIRF in 2023. Presently UGC has extended the Autonomous status from
2020 to 2030 for a period of ten years.
