It is in the Bendore area, where the élite of the city reside. It is next door to St. Sebastian's Church. It was founded primarily for the education of Catholic women. The original college was started by the Apostolic Carmel sisters in 1920. It was the first Catholic women's college in South India and the second in the country. St. Agnes PU College was bifurcated from St. Agnes First Grade College in 2001. The college now has a separate building, which was inaugurated on 14 December 2004. PU stands for Pre-University. The grades offered in the college are 1st PU and 2nd PU. HistorySt. Agnes First Grade College was started by the Apostolic Carmel sisters, a congregation founded by Mother Veronica of the Passion (1823-1906) in Bayonne, France, in 1858. It was established in Mangalore in 1870. In 2001, according to the orders of the Government of Karnataka, the then existing St. Agnes College had to be split into St. Agnes Pre-University and Degree Colleges. It had generated a major overhaul of staff, facilities and space. Thus, the decision to construct a new building was taken and executed. Students moved into their new block in the academic year 2004-2005. The new building was inaugurated by Sr. Agatha Mary A.C. College anthemThe college anthem shows the unswerving faith of those belonging to the college in the grace and help of the Almighty. God is our strength, let us commitOur lives into His hands this day; Trusting in Him to compass it That we may find the perfect way. Fearless of foes, we cast aside The days of ease we loved of yore; And stand to the shock of battle-tide Despite all trials hard and sore. God is our strength, why fear the foe? His love like armour doth enfold Our weak and wayward nature so, That vanquished lies the tempter bold. Behold His arm of valor strong, We’ll cling to it in stormy fray, Nor fear we any harm or wrong, [God is our strength, now and for aye. College crestThe crest has three parts. The crown on top:The crown set in gold is encrusted with jewels and precious stones. In past centuries, kings regarded the crown as a symbol of power, prestige and glory. The crown in the crest acquires a different meaning, symbolising the golden age of India’s material wealth and cultural splendour. Today, through the education of her women, St. Agnes College endeavours to recrown Bharat Mata (Mother India). Educated and self-reliant women are jewels in the crown of Mother India. The shield in the centre:The shield has three partitions. In the first is depicted a cross atop a mountain with three stars on three sides. The mountain is a symbol of prayer and contemplation; the cross is a reminder that the education provided by the college is imbued with the teachings of Christ and the spirit of his person. The three stars signify the historical Carmelite heritage of the Apostolic Carmel congregation. In the second partition is engraved a coconut palm on the shoreline. It stands for the foundation of the Apostolic Carmel along the western coast of South India in 1870. The coconut tree is symbolic of the quiet dependability and usefulness of the educational mission of the college. In the third partition, the lamb with the victory palm together represent the patroness of the college, St. Agnes and her spiritual victory. The palm is the symbol of victory over evil. It signifies the power of prayer to help control carnal desires and stand strong against temptation. The scroll below:The scroll upholds the college motto Deus fortitudo mea (Latin: God]] is my strength). Streams offeredThe college offers three streams: science, commerce and arts.
