Come September, the first women’s college on India’s western coast will admit young men as students. The Apostolic Carmel congregation started St Agnes College in Mangaluru more than a century ago to exclusively educate women.
After its centenary celebrations in 2021, the college decided to start co-education, says principal Apostolic Carmel Sister M Venissa. “The college wished to extend its legacy of a century to male students at the undergraduate level.

The number will be increased according to the demand.
