A good number of the Alumni of the department are absorbed by the schools in Kerala. A unique virtue of the B.A course is that they are qualified to be teachers in Primary and Upper Primary schools without further training. Many of the students because of their ability in both Arabic and English are working in CBSE and other unaided schools as Arabic teachers. A good number of them are abroad in high salaried posts. They also work as Translators, PROs, Private Assistants, School and College Teachers.
The motto of M.E.S. is the progress of the down trodden community of the backward areas of Malabar in general and that of Muslim Community in particular. The MES leaders had the vision to start a course with the combination of Arabic and Islamic History to impact Islamic knowledge to the students of the community. Thus the mission of the course is to inculcate good religious and moral instructions to the students there by moulding the character of students to the benefit of the college and society as a whole.
