The Campus: The Campus is spread over five acres of land with High School, a Pre-University College and the newly built Carmel College. The High School has a student strength of 371 (only girls) and the Pre-University College has 531 students (both boys and girls). There is an open Theatre for cultural activities both for the students and for the public use on special request.
In the year 2000, the Management decided to upgrade the High School as a Pre-University College offering Science, Commerce and Arts in view of the pressing need providing Pre-University education in Bantwal to girls and later extended to boys.
Most of the students who completed PUC in this Pre-University College had to discontinue their studies or travel to Mangalore or other distant colleges because of lack of Degree Colleges in the vicinity. Hence the management found it necessary to begin a Higher Education Institution on the same premises.
