Fathima Matha National College Rankings & Recognitions 2025

Fatima Mata National College (FMNC) in Kollam, Kerala, has earned significant recognition as one of the top autonomous arts and science colleges in India, reflecting its commitment to academic excellence, research, and holistic development since 1951. Affiliated with the University of Kerala and approved by UGC, the college boasts NAAC A accreditation, multiple NIRF rankings, and various awards that underscore its standing among over 40,000 colleges nationwide.

National Rankings

FMNC consistently features in national frameworks, highlighting strengths in teaching, research, graduation outcomes, and inclusivity. In NIRF 2024, it secured a position in the 201-300 band for colleges, competing with institutions like Government College for Women, Kumbakonam, and maintaining steady performance from prior years (e.g., 92nd by IIRF in 2022). Earlier NIRF placements include notable mentions in overall college rankings, with Careers360 noting its strong employability focus.

The college's autonomous status since 2014 and NAAC-driven improvements contribute to these ranks, placing it among Kerala's elite with rankings like #83 in some college categories.

International Rankings

FMNC holds a global rank of 11,771 by UniRanks with a score of 29.17, emphasizing its role in practical education and innovation amid international peers. While primarily national-focused, its research output and MOUs (15 with national/international institutions) enhance global visibility, supporting student exchanges and collaborations.

Accreditations

Accredited by NAAC with an A grade (CGPA 3.18/4 in the third cycle), following earlier Four Star (2001), B++ (2007), and A upgrades—valid as of 2025 per NAAC portal. UGC recognition as a College with Potential for Excellence (CPE) Phase II and autonomous status from UGC/University of Kerala affirm quality governance and curriculum innovation. AICTE approval covers technical programs, ensuring compliance.

Key Recognitions and Awards

FMNC's Diamond Jubilee in 2025 drew Vice President C. P. Radhakrishnan, celebrating 75 years of service. Recent accolades include the Best Exhibition Stall Award in Arts (2026 Instagram post), recognizing cultural/exhibition prowess. Merit Day events distribute 144+ awards/scholarships annually (e.g., INR 1.99 lakh in 2014-15), honoring student achievements.

Other honors:

ISO certifications for processes, Kerala State Higher Education Council recognitions, and departmental awards (e.g., botany for research). Alumni networks and faculty PhDs (45%) bolster NIRF scores in outreach/inclusivity. The college's 7 research centers and patents further elevate its profile.
