Hello, Warm greetings. I am a student of Khalsa College,Matunga and I am currently dooing Bsc.IT (Information Technology). This college was not my first choice after my HSC exams but my parents insisted as it is very near to my residence. Well, I should say I have to thank my parents. Khalsa College has in rescent years reached new highs in its' own image and teaching standards, but yet tradition and culture remains the same.
The college is cosmopolitan institution founded and managed by the Shiromani Gurudwara Parbhandak Committee (SGPC), headquareted in Amritsar,Punjab. SGPC is the premier religious body of Sikhs, a community universally recognized for its virtues of courage, benevolence, enterprise, thrift, philanthropy and community service. Ours is the first college to be established by the community outside Punjab, on the advice of eminent social reformer and constitutional expert, Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar. The funds for the land and the building were provided by the managenent of Gurudwara Shri Nankana Sahib (now in Pakistan), the birth place of Guru Nanak Devji.
The college is guided by lofty ideals and teachings of the Sikh Gurus -
''THE ONNENESS OF HUMANITY AND THE FATHERHOOD OF GOD '' The college believes that education should not only provide knowledge and skills to a child to be useful to himself and his family, but also inculcate in him/her the spirit of service and sacrifice for the benefit of the community and the nation at large. With the blessings of the Almighty and guidance of ours Gurus, it is our constant endeavor to help our children to develop an integrated personality.
In addition to academics, the college provides an encouraging environment for students to participate in a wide range of sports, cultural, extra - and co-curricular activities. Former students of the college can be found in our country as well as abroad occupying responsible positions in business, industry, government, armed forces, police, theatre, TV and films, etc.
The parent-body being located in Amritsar , has delegated the authority to look after the day-to-day affairs of the college to a Local Managing Committee as per the Maharashtra Universities Act. The Degree College is affiliated to the University of Mumbai and the Junior College to the Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education.
The College is ideally located in the Matunga area with the VJTI , UDTC and Don Bosco School and Church as its immediate neighbors and is easily accessible by train and BEST buses. The College building is designed in the Gothic style with pillars, high ceilings and balconies that enable all classrooms to have abundant natural light and ventilation. The college has a paved and well-laid front garden and an inner quadrangle.
Ours is one of the few colleges in the city with its own spacious playground on which many of our state, national and international sportspersons honed their skills. Admission is granted solely on merit and as per Government rules. Some seats are reserved for the Sikh Minority community even.
