Mallamma who had sacrificed her entire fortune to continue the good work initiated by her husband Sri. Gurikar Marimallappa. Today, the heritage building that houses higher primary, high school and pre-university college stands testimony to Smt. Mallamma’s efforts to fulfill her husband’s ardent wish to provide education to the poor and the needy. Mallamma Marimallappa Women’s Arts and Commerce College is the brainchild of Sri. K.N. Shivalingaiah, the then Secretary of our Institution who contributed enormously in every possible way for the all-round development of the institution. He undertook educational tours to European and Commonwealth countries to study the education system prevalent in those countries and made use of his rich experience to promote education here. He built an entire block of spacious classrooms in the name of his father Sri. Nanjappaiah and daughter Smt.K.S. Kumuda, donating the entire amount from his personal account. Being blessed by such great souls the Degree College has crossed many milestones in its three decades of its existence and continues to strive towards its goal of providing value based education. Criterion – I : Curricular Aspects : Our college offers a three year undergraduate course in Arts and Commerce taught under the semester scheme. The curriculum adopted is prescribed by the University of Mysore for affiliated colleges. However, as our senior teachers are involved in the curriculum designing, valuable inputs from them have enriched the curriculum. Bridge Courses for new entrants are conducted for freshers after the Orientation Programme. The Principal and the Mallamma Marimallappa Women’s Arts & Commerce College, Mysore 15 Self Study Report (II Cycle) Heads of the Departments chalk out an Action Plan for the effective deployment of curriculum. Efforts are made by individual teachers to enrich the curriculum by way of additional inputs.

Internet facility is provided to both staff and students to make curriculum
