Kuruvilla (grandfather of the famous writer Meena Alexander ), first principal of Mar Thoma Theological Seminary, Gandhian and a pioneer of the freedom struggle in Travancore, who was also an influential member of the Travancore Legislative Council, had initiated fruitful efforts on behalf of the Mar Thoma Church in securing license for the establishment of two colleges (Mar Thoma College , Thiruvalla and St. Thomas College, Kozhencherry) in central Travancore from Sir C.P. Ramaswami Iyer , the then ‘Dewan’ (chief minister) of Travancore.The main aim of this institution is to impart Christian liberal education to young men and women. The college is accredited by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council, an autonomous agency of the UGC , with four stars. The college has in its 60 years of functioning, expanded its services to accommodate students hailing from the remote regions of the eastern part of Pathanamthitta Dist. Various courses of studies augmenting the creative and productive faculties of the younger generation, were introduced from time to time.
The college offers PG and UG programmes in English, Malayalam, Economics, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Botany, Zoology, Commerce and Computer Science (SF) and UG in Hindi, History, BBA(SF) and B.Com. (SF).
The college is re-accredited by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council, an autonomous agency of the UGC , with B++ grade. When the college was established in 1953, it was affiliated to the Travancore University and later to the University of Kerala. Since 1983, it has been affiliated to the Mahatma Gandhi University , Kottayam.
The college has been recently awarded 'Rajamudra', a rare honor, one of its kind, from the erstwhile Travancore Royal Family , for the academic progress which it brought about in the Central Travancore region for the past 60 years.
