Malankara Catholic College (MCC) is owned and managed by the Diocese of Marthandam with the approval of the Govt. of Tamil Nadu, and is affiliated to Manonmaniam Sundaranar University, Thirunelveli.

The College was born out of the Educational Vision of the Most. Rev. Lawrence Mar Ephraem, the first Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Marthandam, established on 20th July, 1998. Subsequent to his eternity on 8th April, 1997, the Most. Rev. Yoohanon Mar Chrysostom became the Second Bishop of the Diocese of Marthandam on 1st July, 1998. Under his untiring inspiration coupled with the foresighted efforts of Rev. Fr. Prem Kumar, M.S.W, the previous Correspondent/Secretary; the polite behavior of Rev. Fr. Maria Arputham M.A, the former Bursar; the institution has blossomed into a center of academic excellence and holistic formation.
