Christ University was born out of the educational vision of St. Kuriakose Elias Chavara, an educationalist and social reformer of the nineteenth century in South India. His vision was of bringing education and knowledge to the weakest sections of the society. It was him who first initiated the school education for the deprived and marginalised classes in the Southern part of the country. He founded the first indigenous Catholic congregation Carmelites of Mary Immaculate (CMI), in 1831 which administers Christ University. Established in 1969 as Christ College, the institution undertook path-breaking initiatives in Indian higher education with the introduction of modern curricula, insistence on academic discipline, imparting of holistic education and adoption of global higher education practices with the support of creative and dedicated staff. The University Grants Commission (UGC) of India conferred Autonomy to the Christ College in 2004 and identified it as an institution with Potential for Excellence in 2006. In 2008 under section 3 of the UGC Act, 1956, the Ministry of Human Resource Development of the Government of India, declared the institution a Deemed to be University, in the name and style of Christ University. One of the first institutions in India to be accredited in 1998 by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC), and subsequently in 2004 and 2016, Christ University has the top Grade 'A' on 4-point scale.
