Tunku Kurshiah College or Malay Girls College was established in 1947, sited at 2 1/2m Jalan Damansara, Kuala Lumpur. It was officially opened by Lady Gent, the wife of Sir Edward Gent, the Governor of Malayan Union.
In April 1962, the College moved to a 22-acre site on Bukit Merbah , Jalan Tunku Kurshiah, Seremban. Its new name Tunku Kurshiah College, in honour of the first Raja Permaisuri Agong was formalised when the college was declared open by Almarhum Tuanku Munawir ibni Almarhum Tuanku Abdul Rahman , the Yang Di Pertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan on 24th May 1963.
After 56 years of its inception, Tunku Kurshiah College (TKC) stands tall in the forefront among residential schools in Malaysia. TKC has achieved numerous success in both the curricular and co-curricular fields. Each success has been the result of a combined effort from teachers and students. This has been further strengthened by a determination to achieve excellence. In the year 2000, TKC was chosen as one of the schools to participate in the Malaysia Smart Schools flagship application of the Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC).[1]
Entry into Tunku Kurshiah College is based mainly on a student’s performance in the Primary School Assessment Examination (UPSR) conducted by the Ministry of Education, for Standard 6 pupils. Only those who obtained 5As in this examination and participated actively in co-curricular activites stand a good chance to gain an entry. The selection is made by the Residential School Unit, Ministry of Education.
