City College, College in College Street, Kolkata, India
City College is a public institution on College Street affiliated with the University of Calcutta, offering undergraduate programs in arts, science, and commerce. The heritage building comprises several wings with classrooms, laboratories, and libraries arranged around a central courtyard.
The institution was founded in 1881 by Anandamohan Bose, beginning with a law department before expanding three years later. The Sadharan Brahmo Samaj, a religious reform movement, supported the institution as it grew into a full college.
The college carries the name reflecting its urban setting and was founded by a reformer who championed modern education in late 19th-century India. Students gather in lecture halls and reading rooms daily, and the main entrance often sees groups meeting before and after classes.
The campus is located on Raja Rammohan Roy Sarani and is reachable through bus stops and railway stations along College Street. The main entrance hall leads to the different departments, and the premises are open to visitors during daytime hours.
The institution received national accreditation in 2007 and now serves several thousand students across dozens of disciplines. Facilities include a gymnasium and counseling services that go beyond standard academic offerings.
