Bishop cotton women’s Christian college was founded in the year 1985. It has grown in few years to become the leading pre-university college with an earned reputation for providing a superior academic education in an invigorating atmosphere. The effort has been made to move always one step ahead and be involved primarily in women’s development. The progress is a manifestation of our total dedication, commitment and faith in God.

The institution is managed by the Board of management which forms a part of the Karnataka Central Diocese of the church of South India. The college has branched from the Bishop Cotton Girl’s school, as the Junior college inaugurated in the year 1985. The college was housed initially at the school campus before moving into an independent campus in July 1999 to facilitate further expansion and development.

The college has a team of well distinguished and efficient academicians who are highly qualified in their respective field of specialization. Building on its past experience Bishop Cotton recognizes the need to move forward. In the true Cottonian spirit, the college looks to new horizons dedicating itself to the cause of women’s empowerment. To us, past is an experience, the present a challenge and future opportunity.

The motto of the college is ‘NEC Dextrorsum-Nec Sinstrorsum’. These Latin words which means ‘Neither to the right nor to the left’ comes from the Latin version of the Old Testament in the Bible. The words are a direct reference to the commandment of God to Joshua, who was commissioned as the new leader of the Israelites.
