Farook College marks
a breakthrough in the renaissance of Kerala Muslims. In 1948, the year
following Indian independence, Farook College was founded to
light the darkness that benighted a community crippled by colonial pressure unparalleled
in the history of the region. The Rouzathul Uloom Association, the parent body
of the educational complex on the campus, took the lead in transforming the
social fabric of the region through the expansion of the secular educational
structure. Farook College was the only First Grade College in Central
Malabar at the time of its inception and was originally affiliated to
the Madras University. Following the states’ reorganization, the
College came under the University of Kerala in 1957
and under the University of Calicut in 1968.The college has been re-accredited with A
Grade by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council

Sankar Award for the best special grade (Private) college in the state of
Kerala for the years 1997-98 and 1999-2000. The College has been identified
by the UGC as a College with Potential for Excellence, the first college
under Calicut University to receive the
status. Farook College has won the Moulana Abul Kalam Azad
Literacy Award instituted by Moulana Azad Education Foundation, New
