St Philomena College was founded by Msgr Antony Patrao who felt that a College in this part of the state would save the people of the inconvenience of moving to distant places for higher education. He set out to realize his dream and the mission was accomplished in the year 1958.
Since its inception, the Institute has lived up to societal expectations, turning out consistent and appreciable results in academic and non-academic fields. The institution does attempt to treat the primary stakeholders in 5 UG programs and 5 PG programs with a rewarding educational experience.
The Quality Assurance Framework of the institution has been developed to assure academic standards and enhance the quality of education. It underlines the institution’s commitment to excellence and improvement.

“Let’s embrace the changing rules of the world as opportunities for growth. Change allows us to enhance our skills, innovate, and improve our practices. By responding positively to change, we can foster a culture of continuous improvement. We need to create an environment where ideas are freely shared, and feedback is constructively welcomed through effective communication and collaboration. Our students are at the centre of everything we do, and every change we make will ultimately benefit their learning and professional development. Let’s take chances,” said Rev.
