About College
The National Assessment and
Accreditation Council (NAAC) has accredited the College at the A level with an aggregate score of 3.23
The college owes its origin to the farsightedness and vision of its founder patron, Most Rev Dr Joseph
Attippetty, the first Indian Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Verapoly.
Greatly concerned by the lack of educational facilities for the members of his diocese, His Grace
ventured upon the mission of starting a new college at Ernakulam, the then capital of the Former State
of Cochin. His efforts bore fruit in 1946 when the University of Madras accorded sanction to His Grace
for starting a second grade college.
The college began functioning on 16th of July, 1946, in the old St.Albert’s High School building, situated
in front of the present college campus with 150 students in the first year intermediate class.
Years have gone by. Long strides have been taken by the college in its development. Today under the
patronage of His Grace Dr. Francis Kallarackal, St.Albert’s College is a front runner First Grade College
functioning under the Mahatma Gandhi University.
