DESCRIPTION :

Presidency University has a unique place in history. It was one of the first institutes of Western-type higher education in Asia. In 1817¸ a group of enlightened Indians and Englishmen set up the Hindoo College.This was taken over the British Government in 1855 as the College of the Bengal Presidency¸ and placed in 1857 under the newly founded Calcutta University.

Over the next hundred years and more¸ Presidency College was Bengal?s pre-eminent centre of higher learning. Although a Constituent College of Calcutta University¸ it preserved a tradition of research matched by few universities in India. This gave a unique dimension to its undergraduate teaching.

The formal establishment of Presidency University in July 2010 allows it to refashion its venerable traditions and continuing strengths into a leading institution of the future.
