History
The Karnataka Theological College was founded in 1965 with the coming together of two distinct theological seminaries,
- the Union Kanarese Seminary (UKS) founded in 1912[2] in Tumkur, and
- the Basel Evangelical Mission Theological Seminary (BEMTS) founded in 1847 in Mangalore.[3]
In 1967, C. D. Jathanna, the then principal of the college formed the Karnataka Christian Educational Society with the College as the nucleus along with another institute, the Hebich Technical Training Institute. He added several new educational institutions such as Balmatta Institute of Priniting Technology, Balmatta Institute of Commerce, KACES ITI in Stichcraft, KACES Hostel, and Moegling Institute of German Language. At Present Karnataka Theological College offers residential Bachelor of Divinity degree course and the external courses of B.C.S., Dip. C.S. and C. Th. The students are basically from three dioceses of the Church of South India, Lutherans and Methodists and this is the only regional Theological College which offers training in Kannada language in Karnataka.
