==History==

===Early years===
[[Kolkata]], the capital of West Bengal has played a pioneering role in the development of the modern education system in [[India]]. Western models of education came to [[India]] through Kolkata. Many of the first schools and colleges were established by the missionaries and reformists. Sir [[William Jones (philologist)]] established the [[Asiatic Society]] in 1784 for promoting oriental studies. People like [[Ram Mohan Roy]], [[David Hare (philanthropist)|David Hare]], [[Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar]], asutosh mukherjee and [[William Carey (missionary)|William Carey]] played a leading role in the setting up of modern schools and colleges in the city. The [[Fort William College]] was established in 1800. The Hindu College was established in 1817, renamed the [[Presidency College, Kolkata|Presidency College]] in 1855.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.presiuniv.ac.in/ |title=Welcome to Presidency University |work=presiuniv.ac.in |access-date=13 December 2011|publisher=[[Presidency University, Kolkata]]}}</ref>

[[William Carey (missionary)|William Carey]] established the [[Serampore College]] in the city of [[Serampore]] in 1818. It went on to become India's first modern university in 1827 when it was incorporated by a Royal Charter as a Danish University. The [[Sanskrit College]] was established in 1824. Reverend [[Alexander Duff (missionary)|Alexander Duff]] of the [[Church of Scotland]] established the General Assembly's Institution in 1830 and later the Free Church Institution in 1844, which were later merged to form what is now known as the [[Scottish Church College, Calcutta]]. These institutions played a significant role in what came to be known as the [[Young Bengal|Young Bengal Movement]] and the [[Bengal Renaissance]]. [[La Martiniere Calcutta]] was established in 1836.

The oldest medical school in Asia, the [[Calcutta Medical College]] was set up in 1835. In 1857, the [[University of Calcutta]] was established as the first full-fledged multi-disciplinary university in south Asia. It was modelled on the lines of the [[University of London]]. Today it is amongst the largest multidisciplinary universities of India and offers some of the widest number of academic disciplines for study.

[[John Elliot Drinkwater Bethune|John Bethune]] established a school for Indian girls in 1850 at a time when women's education was frowned upon in the society. The [[Bethune College]] for girls was set up by him in 1879.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://bethuneadmissions.ac.in/|title=Bethune College|website=bethuneadmissions.ac.in}}</ref>

In 1856 technical and engineering education came with the establishment of a civil engineering college / department. This setup went through various reorganisations to finally become the [[Bengal Engineering College]] in 1921. The [[Jesuit]] administered [[St Xavier's College]] was established in 1860. Bengal Engineering and Science University is the second oldest engineering institutes in the country and it was started in the year 1864. They offer the following programs such as B.E, M.E, MCA, MBA, MSC, B. Arch. and Ph.D. programs. Apart from this they also provide part-time courses in the evening for the professionals.<ref>http://www.bestcollegehunt.com/universities/west-bengal</ref>

The nation's first homoeopathy college was established in the city in 1880. In 1883 [[Kadambini Ganguly]] and [[Chandramukhi Basu]] became the first women graduates from the [[University of Calcutta]]. In the process, they became the first female graduates of the [[British Empire]]. Kadambini went on to become the first female physician trained in the Western system of medicine in South Asia.

===20th century===
In 1906, the [[Partition of Bengal (1905)|partition of Bengal]] led to widespread nationalistic and anti-British feelings.<ref>Encyclopædia Britannica, "Partition of Bengal" http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/60754/partition-of-Bengal</ref> This led to the setting up of the National Council of Education, Bengal. The Science College was established in 1917. The first blind school came into being in 1925.

After independence, [[Calcutta]] continued to be in the forefront of the educational scene. The [[Government College of Art & Craft]] was established in 1951. The National Council of Education became the [[Jadavpur University]] in 1955. The [[Rabindra Bharati University]] was established in 1962. This university offers courses in the fine and performing arts. The [[Indian Institute of Social Welfare and Business Management]] was set up in 1953 as the country's first management institute and is also the first in the country to offer an MBA degree of a university. The first, [[Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur|Indian Institute of Technology]] was set up at [[Kharagpur]] about 120 km from Calcutta. In 1960 the Regional Engineering college (presently [[National Institute of Technology, Durgapur|National Institute of Technology]]) at Durgapur was set up. It is amongst the top NITs in India and also among the oldest. [[Indian Institute of Management Calcutta]], the first among the [[Indian Institutes of Management]], was set up in 1961 at [[Joka, Kolkata|Joka]]. It was the first national institute for post-graduate studies and research in management sciences. It was established with the help of the [[MIT Sloan School of Management]] and the [[Ford Foundation]].
