The College

It has slowly and steadily moved ahead since its inception, to fulfil its goal of providing quality education to all at an affordable cost. From the time of its establishment, it has been trying to fulfil the requirements of higher education in the predominantly minority inhabited locality of Metiaburz – Santoshpur – Maheshtala. It has faced various challenges and difficulties in the last twelve years. But, instead of suppressing its zeal, they have acted as catalysts for its determination to move ahead.

Many other student friendly initiatives like Career-Counselling and Placement-Assistance Programmes have become a part of the student curriculum as well as seminars and conferences have been taking place at regular intervals in order to expand the educational horizon of the students. Introduction of Spoken English and Personality Development Programmes, as well as introduction of further academic as well as extra-curricular and career advancement courses are in the pipeline and shall be implemented soon. The College has been trying to keep pace with the changing demands of higher education and employment through constant innovation. It has also attempted to strike a balance between tradition and modernity on the one hand and discipline and freedom on the other.
