About P.K. Das Liberal College of Arts and Science (PKDAS)

P.K. Das Liberal College of Arts and Science (PKDAS), located in the serene Lakkidi-Mangalam area of Palakkad, is a premier institution under the esteemed Nehru Group of Institutions (NGI). Established in 2023, the college is named after the visionary founder of NGI, Late P.K. Das, and reflects his commitment to providing transformative education. Affiliated with the University of Calicut, the college was designed to bridge the gap between traditional liberal arts and the modern tech-driven industry, offering specialized 4-Year Honors programs in emerging fields like Artificial Intelligence, Business Analytics, and Computer Science. Benefiting from the massive resources of the Nehru Group, PKDAS boasts an infrastructure that rivals top-tier technical institutes. The campus features high-tech laboratories, smart classrooms, and a comprehensive digital library. A key differentiator is the 'Nehru Corporate Placements and Industry Relations' (NCPIR) wing, which provides students with elite-level soft skills training and access to a network of over 180 recruitment partners. The college also emphasizes 'value-added' certifications in Logistics, Management, and AI alongside the standard university curriculum to ensure students are industry-ready upon graduation. The academic philosophy at PKDAS centers on critical thinking, problem-solving, and a multidisciplinary approach. Despite being a new entrant in the region, the college has quickly set high benchmarks for private arts and science education in Kerala. It supports the 'Study in India' initiative, welcoming international students and fostering a diverse campus culture. With its focus on 'Excellence in Education' and a highly qualified faculty, P.K. Das Liberal College is rapidly becoming a first-choice destination for students seeking a future-focused professional degree in a liberal arts setting.
