Founded in 1964, Iqbal College stands as a beacon of educational empowerment in Thiruvananthapuram district, serving as the first college owned by the Muslim community. Initially established as a junior college under the affiliation of the University of Kerala, it garnered acclaim as a pioneer in Nedumangadu Taluk. The elevation to a first-grade college in 1995 marked a significant milestone. Recognizing its commitment to quality education, the University Grants Commission, New Delhi, included the college in the 2(f) and 12(B) list in 1987.
Situated on a sprawling 30-acre hillock, amidst the scenic beauty of the Western Ghats and the Ponmudi hills, the campus provides a serene backdrop for academic pursuits. Admission policies uphold the principles of inclusivity, welcoming candidates without discrimination based on caste or creed. The college actively contributes to societal well-being, with a particular focus on benefiting marginalized communities, including SC, ST, OBC, and others.
Iqbal College has consistently demonstrated academic excellence, offering a range of curricular and co-curricular activities that unveil and nurture the hidden talents of its students. The introduction of the first postgraduate course in 1995 and subsequent approval as a Research Center in Commerce by Kerala University in 2010 underscore its commitment to advancing knowledge.
The institution's success is attributed to a dedicated team of professionals who are not only highly qualified and professionally competent but also morally upright. The management envisions the college as a center of excellence, echoing the philosophy that "Mission serve humanity and clear visions rule the missions." Through a commitment to developing students' innate abilities, Iqbal College aims to shape them into the leaders of tomorrow.
