Departmental History

About the Department:
The Department of History offers undergraduate courses, both honours and general in History under the University of Calcutta. The qualified and dedicated faculty of the department takes great care in providing academic support and guidance to the students. An important objective of the Department is to instil in the students the capability to think critically and analyse conflicting theories related to history. To widen their academic horizon and supplement the theoretical knowledge of the students, the Department regularly takes the students to various educational tours and also encourages them to participate in academic outreach activities.

History of the Department:
The Department of History began its journey since the inception of the college in 2016 with two faculty members and 10 students in its honours courses in the session 2016-17. Ever since then the Department has come a long way with five batches of students passing out of the college, some of them pursuing higher studies and a few opting for professional courses and entering professional fields. From the session 2023-24, the Department is also offering courses in MDC (under NEP System).
