Degree Programmes were introduced in 1947.Subsequently classes were shifted to the new building just opposite the old school building in In 1958, when the Kerala University Act came into force, the affiliation was shifted to the
Kerala University. In 1983 when the Mahatma Gandhi University was established, the College became affiliated to the Mahatma Gandhi University.
The College celebrated its Golden Jubilee in 1996-97 and there began a new era of job oriented courses. During the time of the Most Rev. Dr. Daniel Acharuparambil, the former patron who was a visionary and philosopher, the College reached new heights in academic excellence. In 2006, the College had a revolutionary change shifting from an all men’s College to a co-ed institution. In the year 2006, St. Albert’s College started the Department of Business Studies

Since 2016, the College has witnessed a digital revolution, wherein the IT Team of the College has conceptualised and developed an ERP system which has fully digitalised the operations of the College thereby reducing the man-hours spent. The digitalisation has supported the College to a great extent starting from online admissions portals, to the regular attendance monitoring system, digital library, to the day to day activities of the Examination Department, Operations Department, and Administration Department etc. This system has eliminated errors to a great extent and brings in consistency to the records. The introduction of the ERP system in the Examination Department has also improved the confidentiality of developing question papers and the timely publication of results. From being the first Autonomous College in the State to develop its own E-Question Bank, St. Albert’s College (Autonomous) has come a long way to be an institution which is striving towards becoming an E-Institution.
