The college has been growing steadily in strength and with quality in education. The students of this college are known for their noble qualities and gentle behavior. In 1984, the Government of Karnataka passed an order to bifurcate the college into Arts and Science separately as the strength increased to nearly three thousand. The bifurcation was essential for efficient administration. Since then, both Sahyadri Arts College and Sahyadri Science College are growing into separate entities. The Science College responds very well to the growing needs of modern needs of education in the field of Science.
