The college was established by the Kelkar Education Trust in 1984 in memory of its founder trustee, late Shri. Govind Damodar Vaze.

The college is permanently affiliated to the University of Mumbai since 1990. It was also later recognized by UGC (University grants commission). [2]
Kelkar College is the first affiliated Arts, Science and Commerce institution in the state of Maharashtra which was assessed for accreditation by National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC), which the institution of UGC had started. College received five star status in 1998, reassessed in 2005 and assessed for third cycle in 2012 (Third time) with an "A" grade from NAAC. [3]

The college hosts an inter college festival named "Dimensions". [7] It generally takes place during the month of December every year. Every year a theme is chosen, and accordingly the fest revolves around it.
The recent year of the fest - D’22 was termed as “Best Ever” being held after a gap of two years due to the pandemic. Nevertheless, the offline comeback of the festival was grand with the highest recorded footfall of 20,000+ with support of big brands as sponsors like Sugar Cosmetics, Sony Marathi, SBI and much more.
