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&nbsp;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.)

The University of Kalyani, established in 1960, is a Government of West Bengal administered,[3][4] UGC affiliated,[5] NAAC accredited,[6] collegiate Public Research university in Kalyani, West Bengal, India. It offers courses at the Undergraduate, Postgraduate and Doctoral levels.[7]

History

The university was established on 1 November 1960 by 'The Kalyani University Act 1960' of the Government 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 Government 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 accorded recognition to the university.[8][9][10]

Campus

Gate of University of Kalyani

The university is placed in an Urban areas 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.
