The '''University of Kalyani''', established in 1960, is a state-government administered, affiliated public research university in [[Kalyani, West Bengal|Kalyani]] , [[West Bengal]], [[India]]. It offers courses at the Undergraduate, Postgraduate and Doctoral levels.

==History==
The university was established on 1 November 1960 by the Kalyani University Act 1960 of the state of West Bengal. The University of Kalyani is a State- University and its activities are guided by the Kalyani University Act, 1981 (amended up to 2001), enacted by the Govt. of West Bengal. The Act is supplemented by 'Statutes', 'Ordinances','Regulations' and 'Rules'. This act replaced 'The Kalyani University (Temporary Suppression) Act, 1978, which in turn replaced 'The Kalyani University Act, 1960. The [[University Grants Commission (India)|University Grants Commission]] accorded recognition to the university.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ugc.ac.in/stateuniversity.aspx |title= List of State Universities, University Grants Commission}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ugc.ac.in/privatuniversity.aspx |title= List of State Private Universities}}</ref><ref>{{ cite web | url=http://www.ugc.ac.in/oldpdf/alluniversity.pdf|title= Total No. of Universities in the Country as on 25.05.2016}}</ref>

==Campus==
The university is placed in an urban setting touching the boundaries of some green rural areas. The eastern bank of the Ganges is only 2000 meters from the University and its serene background is only 50 km from [[Kolkata]]. It is close to [[Kalyani Ghoshpara railway station]], 10 minutes walking distance to Administration Building from the station, and the other campuses are around it. During Second world war this land was under the control of the American army who maintained an army depot here. Few roadways and other constructions are still there to prove that past history. The Campus spans over a huge area of 400 acres (largest state university of West Bengal.)

==Organisation and administration ==
===Governance===
