Malankara Catholic College is administered by the Diocese of Marthandam with the approval of the Govt. of Tamil Nadu, and is affiliated to Manonmaniam Sundaranar University, Tirunelveli.

The College was born out of the Educational Vision of the Most. Rev. Lawrence Mar Ephraem, the first Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Marthandam. The college was established on 20th July, 1998. Subsequent to his parting to eternity on 8th April, 1997, the Most. Rev. Yoohanon Mar Chrysostom became the Second Bishop of the Diocese of Marthandam on 1st July, 1998. Under his untiring inspiration coupled with the foresighted efforts of Rev. Fr. Prem Kumar, M.S.W. and Rev. Fr. Jose Bright the previous Correspondent/Secretary; the constant support of Rev. Fr. Maria Arputham M.A, the former Bursar; the able guidance of the former Principals and the dedicated staff members, the college began to flourish.

At present, the college stands as a land mark in the field of higher Education with the new dynamic Chairman and Manager, His Excellency the Most. Rev. Dr. Vincent Mar Paulos, the Bishop of Marthandam Diocese; an Eminent Correspondent/Secretary Rev. Fr. Aruldas; Respectable Bursar Rev. Fr. Vinu Immanuel and an experienced Principal, Dr. T. Peter Amaladhas M.Sc., Ph.D.
