Patkai as a Christian liberal college firmly believes that education is for the whole man in a framework of moral absolutes. Every Christian college, therefore, has the difficult task of retaining its traditional stance while seeking to make its educational philosophy relevant to the world around it. The central purpose of the College is expressed in its motto: "Lux et veritas: Light and Truth." This purpose produces a concern for truth,righteousness and beauty.
History of Patkai Patkai was born out of the prayers of Christians in Nagaland, Manipur, and overseas. Patkai, of which the Nagaland Baptist Church Council and Manipur Baptist Convention are major sponsors, was started in August 1974 with twenty students. However, the College is not a denominational institution, so the College receives financial assistance from several Christian denominational churches as well as independent churches and organizations. In late 1975, Patkai was provisionally affiliated to the North Eastern Hill University, Shillong.
Patkai Christian College (PCC) today boasts of having the best live-in campus for students in the region. The College lies on the vast low-lying 1000 acres of land in the foot hill of the mountain ranges, which lie on the three sides, and the River Diphu flowing down from the sides of those mountains. Over 90% of the students are accommodated in the spacious hostels as well as in some tiny buildings. This evergreen campus is a home away from home.
The college offers various courses from all available art courses, social sciences, commerce, sciences, computer sciences, business administration, and music courses, which it is distinctly known for. The social and cultural activities, along with the various related spiritual activities are impressive.
