Arabic College, sometimes Oriental Title Colleges, in the context of Kerala, southern India, are the near equivalent of north Indian madrasas (educational institutes of higher Islamic learning).[1] Graduates from Arabic Colleges can sit privately for the state recognized "Afzal-ul-Ulama" credential, which qualifies them to serve as Arabic Language teachers in state educational institutions.[2]
A madrasa in Kerala is an extra-curricular institution where children receive basic Islamic education.[1]
There are mainly two types of Arabic Colleges in Kerala—the 'traditionalist' Shafi'ite Arabic Colleges and the Salafi Movement-inspired Colleges.[3] Most of the colleges come under the first category.[3]
