About
One of modern India's three original universities (1857) and the alma mater of Nobel laureates Tagore, Raman and Amartya Sen. Its affiliated-college system spreads across Kolkata, with historic strength in sciences, economics and the humanities. Heritage and near-zero fees keep it central to Bengal's academic life.
