University College, Thiruvananthapuram, commonly known as UCT, operates as a constituent college of the University of Kerala, predominantly situated in Thiruvananthapuram, the capital of Kerala, India. Renowned as one of the oldest and most esteemed institutions of higher education in the country, UCT secured the 24th position among colleges in India according to the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) in 2022. Subsequently, in 2023, it retained a commendable standing, ranking 26th in the NIRF (Colleges) general category.
While the institution has a rich legacy of producing notable figures across various fields, it has faced challenges, as evidenced by unfortunate incidents on campus. These incidents, including a student's suicide attempt in 2019 and a stabbing incident amid a student dispute, have raised concerns about the university's examination processes. The recovery of answer sheets and an assistant professor's official seal from a student organization's office prompted questions regarding the credibility of examinations. Investigations further revealed fake seals and university answer sheets, emphasizing the need for maintaining the integrity of academic procedures within the university.
