However, no institution committed to the cause of higher education can rest contended on its laurels. St Agnes College is sensitively aware of this. Therefore,to promote academic excellence in teaching and research, the Management of St Agnes College has accepted the status of academic autonomy for the College since 2007. In the autonomous set up, the College is free to frame its own syllabi for the various courses and adopt suitable innovative methods of Teaching, Learning and Evaluation. The Mangalore University confers the degree or gives the diploma to the qualified candidates presented by the College. The government will continue to provide financial assistance in this set up. With autonomy, the College will be more efficient to teach job-oriented subjects, conduct examinations and announce results within the prescribed structures of the Semester pattern.
