Dear Alumni of Holy Cross College (Autonomous), Nagercoil

Greetings to you all!


“Never forget your roots, especially our Crossian roots”. On behalf of the management, staff and students, I extend sincere greetings! It is with great delight and humility that we would like to place in record our sincere thanks to all our Alumni and well-wishers over the years.


The little seeds that came into the campus have grown as trees. The college takes delight in the achievements of the alumni who always try to reach greater heights. It is a glee to know that our Alumni are assuming greater leadership positions, occupying high ended professions, successful entrepreneurs, responsible homemakers and caring mothers! Their accomplishments energize and synergize us. The years they have spent here would definitely be more memorable!


With great elation, I would like to highlight the accomplishments of our institution at present! Our college has secured A Grade with 3.35 scale in the IV cycle by the NAAC. Started in 1965 with a very few students, our college has grown with more than 3000 students with excellent infrastructure. Day after day, we have been working on the needs of the learners and we have inaugurated a new Chemistry lab, Incubation Centre. With great delight, I would like to inform you that our college has been nurturing Startups. HCIIC in collaboration with MHRD has initiated and some of our staff and students have incubated Startups inside our campus. Our students have participated and won in various competitions nationally and globally! Recently, our students from the Department of Physics have participated in Smart India Hackathon 2022 – Hardware Edition held in Ongole, Andhra Pradesh from 25th to 29th August, 2022. Our students continue to outshine day by day which is the result of our dedicated teaching fraternity.


According to our vision statement, imbibing the Spirit of the Holy Cross, our desire is to empower young women for global competency and ecological sustainability though holistic approach with innovative skills. Ample opportunities are provided for the learners every day to enhance their skills set and be future ready.


   goals include:

   Striving for academic excellence

   Promoting all round development of the students

   Promoting quality and innovative research output

   Creating a sustainable environment

   Inculcating values among the students


Let us work together for the upliftment of our Alma Mater. I strongly believe that Alumni are the strongest ambassadors for an institution. Likewise, it could be a great gesture from the Alumni to share about your formation in our institution which would definitely motivate the young minds!!


Wishing you the best for all your endeavours! May God bless you!!
