We are an independent organization, not affiliated with Calcutta University, India. Here is a glimpse of our early days and our constitution.

Established in 1857, the University of Calcutta (Calcutta University or CU) is the oldest functional University in India and the first multidisciplinary institute in Asia. This university is located in Kolkata, the capital of West Bengal, a state in India.

At the time of its inception, the jurisdiction of CU spanned the stretch from Lahore (presently in Pakistan) to present-day Myanmar.

At present, CU oversees 151 colleges and 21 institutes across

West Bengal, India. Treading down more than 150 illustrious

years, CU is still officially recognized as one of the top five

Universities in India; yearly, more than thousands student

graduate from this institute and currently few hundrds

alumni of CU call DMV area their home.

In this respect, CU produced some of the greatest minds, inventors, leaders, and thinkers of this world. To begin with, Asia’s first Nobel Laureate, Rabindra Nath Tagore, was a CU alumnus. Since then, CU delivered six other Nobel Laureates; one with the Dirac medal, an Academy award for lifetime achievement, and many literary prizes. Three CU alumni became the President (Constitutional head) of India, and many became Chief Ministers (Parliamentary heads) of multiple Indian states. Not many institutions across the world can be proud of such an acclaimed list of alumni.
