The Karnatak Lingayat Education Society was established in 1916 with the objective of spreading education among the farming community and other educationally disadvantaged people in this part of Karnataka. The establishment of Lingaraj College in 1933 was the beginning of the fulfillment of this vision. Over 70 years of its existence, the Lingaraj College has built up a strong image as an institution, with firm belief in and commitment to, the dissemination of quality and value based education in humanities, commerce and business administration. Adhering to its set goals and objectives, the college went through the process of self assessment and accreditation as required by NAAC an autonomous institution of the University Grants Commission, New Delhi.

Having undergone this very useful self assessment process, this college is accredited at ‘A’ grade by the august body NAAC, Bangalore for a period of five years from January 2004. We are heartened indeed at this recognition by NAAC and this speaks volumes about our college in all the fields of academy.

The college is conferred with Autonomous Status on 27-01-2005 by UGC.

We welcome you to be a part of this rich educational heritage of the Lingaraj College.
