Fathima Matha National College Admissions 2026-27 Dates, Appilcation Form, Process & Fee

Fatima Mata National College (FMNC) in Kollam, Kerala, offers merit-based admissions to its Four-Year Undergraduate Programmes (FYUGP) and postgraduate courses, primarily through an online portal affiliated with the University of Kerala. The process emphasizes index marks from qualifying exams, with centralized allotments, reservations per government rules, and no upper age limit for UG programs.

Admission Process

Admissions at FMNC start with mandatory online registration via fmnc.ac.in or the dedicated portal admissions.fmnc.ac.in. Candidates fill personal and academic details, select program preferences (e.g., aided/self-financing UG like BSc Mathematics or PG like MSc Physics), pay fees online, and await trial and first allotment lists published on the site. Selected students download allotment memos, remit university fees online to confirm seats, report for document verification, pay college fees, and attend orientation with department heads; failure to report forfeits the seat.

Keralites get priority over non-Keralites, with proof required via nativity certificates; APAAR ID is mandatory for UG admissions. Management quota candidates also register online but indicate preferences separately. The college notifies via website, newspapers, and Radio Benziger, with live vacancy updates during allotments.

Eligibility Criteria

UG (FYUGP) eligibility requires a pass in Higher Secondary (10+2)/Vocational HSE or equivalent from a recognized board, with ranking based on index marks (total plus related subjects). No minimum percentage is strictly mandated beyond a pass, though some sources note 50% for specific streams like BSc science. Programs include 3/4-year BA/BSc/BCom/BCA (Honours/Research options), with exits at 3 years (133 credits) or 4 years (177 credits).

PG eligibility demands a bachelor's degree or equivalent in the relevant field from a recognized university, again, merit-based on qualifying marks. Examples: BSc Physics (55 seats aided), MA Economics (26 seats), MCom (26 seats). Reservations apply for SC/ST/OBC/EWS/sports/disabled per Kerala government norms.

Important Dates

Expected dates for 2026 admissions follow University of Kerala patterns, with UG typically starting post-HSE results (May-June) and PG ongoing into April-May.

Check fmnc.ac.in/admissions for official updates, as 2025 schedules (ranklists published) indicate similar timelines.

Application Fees

Registration fees are nominal: INR 80 for most aided UG programs and INR 160 for PG at admission. Paid online during application; verified at admission.
