Patkai Christian College is a co-educational institution with 50% of its students as women. Women have played an important role since the inception of the college and continue to do so. The McClellan Hall which is a residence for women students was the first concrete structure that came up in the college campus. This event is a testament that the institution carefully considers women interests and welfare as a part of its gender sensitivity initiatives.
