Loreto College in Kolkata is preparing for a major institutional change, with plans to move from a women’s college to a coeducational one. The development marks a notable moment for the 114-year-old institution, which has long been known as a women’s college.
According to the available details, the proposal is expected to be placed before the academic council. That step suggests the transition is still part of an internal decision-making process rather than a completed change, but it signals that the college is actively considering a broader shift in its admissions model.
The move also comes as the college recruits male teachers, adding to signs of change within the institution. Together, these developments point to a possible reworking of the college’s traditional structure as it adapts to new academic and administrative realities.
If approved, the coeducational plan would represent a significant departure from Loreto College’s long-standing identity. For students, faculty and the wider Kolkata education community, the proposal is likely to draw attention as one of the more important changes in the college’s recent history.
