From its new session that begins in July this year, Lucknow Christian College (LCC) will offer admissions to female candidates too in the undergraduate programmes. Till now, this all-boys institution offered admission to the female students in its post graduate courses only.
Principal of the college, Mahesh Pati confirmed that from this year onwards, female students would also be offered admissions to the undergraduate courses. “There should not be any discrimination between boys and girls. Hence, it was resolved to give admission to female students also in the undergraduate programmes offered by the institute,” he said.
The move has been approved by the college management. The management will soon inform the Lucknow University administration about the change. Those associated with the college say that since girls bring in more discipline and are better in academics, the college decided to offer co-education at the UG level.

{{/usCountry}}Most of the aided degree colleges that were initially all-boys institutes, gradually shed the all-boys tag. For instance, colleges like Vidyant Hindu Degree College, Jai Narain PG College, DAV College, BSNV College and many others, which initially were all-boys college, transformed into co-educational institutes in the last few years.
“Girls are good in academics and more regular in the classes. So their entry would help improve the performance of the college. They also bring in more discipline and do not indulge in politics. As a result, the academic graph of the college goes up and the campus remains more peaceful and conducive for academic work,” said a principal of a city college.
