Selection for admission     |    Strategies for admission
While traditional courses in most other colleges in the state face the problem of survival for want of application,  all the courses in Catholicate College Pathanamthitta are in high demand

DEPARTMENTS

The significance of the service rendered by Catholicate College in the field of higher education is heightened by the fact that many hilly regions and townships like Vadasserikkara, Seethathodu, Thannithodue and beyond have no other institution with similar facilities to go to for advanced learning and research. Academic programmes in the disciplines of English, Malayalam, Hindi, Commerce and the Sciences are introduced taking into account the social and economic needs of the society. This is vindicated by the unmitigated rush for admission to various courses.

• Selection of Students for Admission:- The College follows a transparent process of admission to various PG courses in strict adherence to the norms decided by the university. The College does not enjoy the freedom to bypass any of the guidelines for admission, particularly those pertaining to the reservation quota. Currently the college has a total of eleven (11) UG courses, thirteen (13) PG courses, four (4) Diploma Courses, three (3) Advanced diploma courses and seven (7) Certificate courses.




• Selection of students is made on the basis of their academic record. The national policy on reservation as stipulated by the state government and the university is strictly followed in the admission process.
