About Mount Carmel College, Bangalore

Mount Carmel College is an educational institution primarily for women. Located in the garden city of Bangalore, the college reflects the dynamism and energy of this fast growing Indian metropolis through its exciting courses and innovative methods of teaching. This website is an effort to introduce you to the college and give you all the information you may need to become a part of this institution. Mount Carmel has always been the forerunner of constructive changes in academics to help generations enrich knowledge and enhance skills to match the pace of the world. The host of new and advanced courses introduced by us stand testimonial to this.While India was celebrating its new-found independence, the Carmelite Sisters of St. Teresa sought to fill a lacuna in women's education. Thus began Mount Carmel College on the 7th of July 1948 with just fifty students on its rolls. A single building housed the classrooms, office, hostel, library, convent and the chapel. Thatched sheds served as labs as the college set forth to fulfill its vision. By the end of the year its number had dwindled to just 32 students and one could only smile in disbelief when K.C.Reddy, the then Chief Minister of Karnataka said, "A day will come when this college will have to turn away students." MCC has come a long way since that day in July 1948. Today, we have a beautiful campus with many buildings and facilities. The courses have proliferated and every year the college receives an overwhelming number of applications from students all over the country. In fact, MCC is home to over four thousand students. The college keeps pace with the changing times exploring new possibilities and expanding new horizons and continues to make a difference through its vision of empowering women through education.
