  • College (Intermediate) Handbook 2019
    Forman Christian College was founded in1864 by Presbyterian missionaries. By the turn of the 20th century it had become recognized as a leading institution in the Indian subcontinent. Since August 1947 the College has served Pakistan with distinction. The number and quality of distinguished alumni of FC College is rivaled by few universities in the world. Our graduates have leadership positions in government, business, education, various professions, religion and arts. FC College was established as a Chartered University by the Punjab Provincial Assembly in 2004. FCC is a private and not-for-profit institution. The standards and traditions that have made the College in history are being upheld and even enhanced today. We strive to provide a truly outstanding educational program taught by well-qualified faculty that cares about students. The College also provides strong sports and co-curricular programs in order to enable students to not only enjoy themselves but be able to learn outside the classroom. Often students find that the values and habits that they learned while participating in sports or activities such as the debating society were important developmental steps for them for success later in life. FC College is situated on 108 beautiful acres on Canal Bank Road in Lahore. The Academic Block has seven main classroom buildings plus the auditorium in Sinclair Hall and the Ewing Memorial Library. The College has four hostels that are available to College (Intermediate) students who wish to live on campus. There is a student center and a large sports center that are actively used on a daily basis.

  • The Story Christian College
    THE FORMANCHRISTIAN COLLEGE STORY Forman campus photo credit: Anil Joseph B Cover photo of Forman College’s Sinclair Hall: Anil Joseph In the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, the world’s second largest Muslim country and fifth most populous nation, exists a remarkable Christian college with a storied past. This school has educated Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs, and Christians together in a peaceful, tolerant atmosphere for over 150 years. Founded in Lahore, it is known as Forman Christian College. Today it is supported In the United States by Friends of Forman, and this is the college’s story of its founding and flourishing once again. 1 In 1847, at the time when the British rule of India was pushing west and would soon annex the Indian region of the Punjab, a young American minister stepped off the sailing barque Coromandel in Calcutta (now Kolkata). Charles Forman came to the Indian subcontinent after graduating from Princeton Theological Seminary and immediately met with Rev. Dr. Alexander Duff, a Banyan Tree – Lahore prominent Scottish mission educator. Duff persuaded the 26-year-old Forman to take up the service of education to reach young elite Hindu, Muslim, and Sikh boys with scientific studies and the Bible. By teaching English to give access to Western literature and an education of morals through Scripture, Forman hoped to open the souls of his students to examine the gospel and be persuaded to the Christian faith. In 1849 Forman journeyed to Lahore, a historic city that had long played a significant cultural role in the Punjab region. Travel was difficult since trains and electricity had not yet been introduced.
