College at a Glance

Government Girls’ General Degree College is the fourth Government college for girls in Kolkata. Due to its proximity to National Library, Calcutta University Alipur Campus, and other major locations of southern Kolkata, the college is favourably accessible to a large section of students interested in higher education. The establishment of this college marks a positive and progressive initiative towards facilitating higher education for women in West Bengal. Incidentally, the college was established after a decade long pressing demand for a Women’s college in the locality. The college was inaugurated on the 28th January, 2016 by Honourable Chief Minister Smt. Mamata Banerjee. The College has been affiliated to the University of Calcutta. The inauguration inevitably marked the beginning of a journey towards achieving academic excellence for women. Presently, the college offers Honours Courses in Arts, Science and Commerce streams. Faculties of all fifteen departments (Honours) put untiring efforts to provide quality academic guidance to all students and work towards their overall developments.
