University of Allahabad, Public university in Prayagraj, India.
The University of Allahabad is a public university in Prayagraj with red brick buildings, wide green spaces, and pathways under old trees. The grounds include faculties for science and humanities, a main library with reading rooms, and hostels spread across several areas.
The institution started in 1887 as the fourth modern higher education establishment in the country and began initially as a smaller college. Over the decades it grew into a full university with additional faculties and expanded research areas.
The campus forms an intellectual center with lecture halls and libraries where students gather and discuss between classes. Academic events shape daily life, and many former graduates later played important roles in the country's public life.
Visitors can use the main gate and move freely around the campus, with individual buildings open during teaching hours. Some areas such as libraries or laboratories may require permission or accompaniment by staff.
The institution bore an earlier name honoring a British founder before receiving its current designation. Several political figures and writers of the 20th century began their academic careers here before gaining recognition nationwide.
