Controversies

The college is best known internationally for an incident in 2010. On 4 July 2010 Professor T J Joseph was attacked and had his arm severed by Islamic radicals claiming that a punctuation exercise he had set in an examination was insulting to Islam.[2] Though the college raised 600,000 rupees for his medical care, he was on 4 September dismissed from the college's employment on the grounds that he had "hurt the feelings of a community" and caused a "loss of goodwill to the Church".[3] He was reinstated in 2014.[4]

In August 2015, Mahatma Gandhi University, Syndicate initiated disciplinary action against the principal and management of the college. Grievance redressal committee of the University found that the college denied admission to a poor student as he could not pay huge amount of money as donation. The Syndicate observed that the Principal of the college is "flouting University directions from time to time and functioning irregularly". [5] [6]
