About Pookoya Thangal Memorial Government College (PTMGC)

Pookoya Thangal Memorial (P.T.M.) Government College, Perinthalmanna, is a cornerstone of higher education in the Malappuram district, established in July 1975. Named after the revered leader Pookoya Thangal, the college was founded to fulfill the community's demand for accessible university education. Over the decades, it has evolved from a pre-degree center into a 'First Grade' institution offering a diverse array of undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral programs. Affiliated with the University of Calicut and recognized under UGC sections 2(f) and 12(B), the college is celebrated for its commitment to academic excellence and social upliftment, particularly for marginalized groups and female students. The 25-acre campus at Pathaikara offers a tranquil and eco-friendly environment conducive to serious study. The college has fully embraced the Four-Year Undergraduate Programme (FYUGP), providing Honors degrees in Science (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics), Commerce, Management (BBA Finance), and Arts (English, Arabic). Infrastructure highlights include a high-tech computer lab, well-equipped science laboratories, and an automated library that serves as a knowledge hub for the entire region. The faculty consists of highly experienced professionals, many of whom hold doctorates and are actively involved in research. As it celebrates its Golden Jubilee in 2025-26, PTMGC continues to maintain high academic standards, evidenced by its NAAC 'A' grade and consistent presence in national ranking bands. While the college remains deeply rooted in traditional values of discipline and moral integrity, it integrates modern technology through ICT-enabled smart classrooms and digital learning resources.
