The journey toward modern accountability frameworks has been defined by localized cultural and behavioral clashes that disrupted campus environments in the past.
The college's reputation suffered a significant international blow in 2016 when a KMC student was arrested in the United States on sexual harassment charges during a student exchange program. While the principal maintained that the student was not part of the official program, the incident caused "great embarrassment" to the administration and led to a US university threatening to cancel its memorandum of understanding with KMC.
The most significant breakthrough in holding perpetrators accountable came in August 2023.

One final story—this one true. A few years ago, a final-year student proposed to his batchmate in the middle of the dissection hall during a strike. There were no classes, so he decorated a skeleton with a dupatta and wrote "Marry Me?" on the whiteboard using a marker for a thoracotomy incision. She said yes, on the condition that he helps her finish her Dissertation . He agreed.
