About

Descended from Hindu College (1817) and Presidency College, this is arguably the most historically important institution in Indian higher education, with an alumni roll that includes two Nobel-winning economists and much of the Bengal Renaissance. It became a full-fledged state university in 2010 and remains small, selective and admission-by-its-own-test (PUBDET) on its heritage College Street campus. Class sizes are tiny and the culture is unapologetically academic rather than placement-driven.
