History
Kirori Mal College began as Nirmala College, started by American Jesuits in the wake of partition. It was located on Qutub Road. Faced with intractable problems relating to the staff in the period following the partition, the management of the college changed hands and the trust founded by Seth Kirori Mal took over the college. The college shifted to its present campus on 1 February 1954.
The college celebrated its Golden jubilee in February 2004. The college has come a long way since its inception in 1956. The farsightedness of its founding fathers has led this institution of higher learning to occupy and important place in the University of Delhi.
