| No e-mail available | | Description | | Throughout the first half of the nineteenth century the then British rulers of the country were coming to realize the need for establishing modern universities in India, partly in their own interests and partly as a result of the efforts of a small group of liberals within the ruling classes who genuinely wished to spread modern education among the Indian masses.
In 1845, the Council of Education which then consisted of F.Millett, James Alexander, C.C.Egerton, Rassomay Dutt, Prosunno Coomar Tagore and Dr. FJ.Mouat formulated a proposal for the establishment of a University of Calcutta. The University of Calcutta was to consist of a Chancellor, a Vice-Chancellor and Fellows. The Governor-General of India was to be the Chancellor and Visitor of the University. There would be four Faculties. The Chancellor, the Vice-Chancellor, and the members of the Faculties were to form a body politic and corporate to be known as the University of Calcutta. | | Alternate language description | | Not Available | | Areas of study | | Fine Arts, Marine Sciences, Political Science, Communication Studies, Law, Economics, Philology and Linguistics, Physics, Geography, Geology, History, Engineering Science, Mathematics, Education, Journalism, Psychology, Chemistry, Sociology, Music, Library Science and Documentation, Archeology, Philosophy, Zoology, Anthropology, Commerce, Chemical Engineering, Computer Engineering, French Language and Literature, Modern Languages, Neuroscience, Urban Studies and Planning, English Language and Literature, Biochemistry, Arabic Langauage and Literature, Computer Science, Statistics, Home Science, Physiology, Technology, Molecular and Cellular Biology, Botany, Biophysics, Genetics, Business Management, Applied Physics, Art Studies, Applied Psychology, Women’s Studies, Hindi, Information Science, Sanskrit, Urdu, Polymer Technology, Applied Mathematics, Agriculture, Ancient Indian History & Culture, Bengali Language and Literature, Islamic History and Culture, Museology, Pali, South and South East Asian Studies, Social Welfare, Chemical Technology, Radio Physics and Electronics, Atmospheric Science, Electronic Science, Tamil Literature & Culture, Persian Language and Literature | | Language of instruction | Type of School | | Hindi | Public University | | Type of studies | Accreditation | | University Degree Program, Graduate, Professional Programs | Not Available | | Location on world map | |
