Jogesh Chandra Chaudhuri College

Jogesh Chandra Chaudhuri College was founded in July 1965 (though inception of the college was in 1964) by Ranadev Chaudhuri, an eminent Barrister, in memory of his father Jogesh Chandra Chaudhuri, son-in-law of Rashtraguru Surendranath Banerjee, to foster higher education among the poorer strata of society. Subsequently, it got affiliated to University of Calcutta. Popular belief holds that the building was originally built as a residence for the exile of the two descendants of Tipu Sultan: Prince Anwar Shah and Golam Mohammad Shah. The architecture bears testimony to this fact. Jogesh Chandra Chaudhuri College is a grants–in–aid college of the Government of West Bengal. The Principal and Teachers are appointed by the recommendation of West Bengal College Service Commission (WBCSC). We have been enlightened by the guidance of luminaries such as Prof. Satyendra Nath Bose, National Professor, Dr. Suniti Kumar Chatterjee, National Professor, Dr. J.N. Mukherjee, former Vice President, ISI, Sri Sankardas Banerjee, Barrister-at-Law, Dr. Triguna Sen, Former Education Minister, Govt. of India and Former Vice Chancellor, Jadavpur University, Prof. Jnan Chandra Ghosh, former Vice Chancellor, the University of Calcutta who were a part of our Governing Body.
