About

Haldia is a well-known river-port town situated on the banks of the Hooghly River. It is at the centre of an expanding industrial belt in eastern India. The Department of Higher Education, Government of West Bengal, realizing the educational needs of this rapidly growing town and its adjoining areas, decided to establish the second government college in the erstwhile district of Medinipur in 1988. The college came into being in 1988 under the affiliation of Vidyasagar University, and was inaugurated by the former Chief Minister of West Bengal, Shri Jyoti Basu, on the 20th of November. Since then it is continuously catering to students’ need of higher education.

The College is located conveniently beside a broad four-lane highway between Rani Chak and City Centre bus stop. It is well connected with NH-116 and also the South-Eastern Railways. The NH-16 is also not too far from the college. A co-educational institute, the college offers degree courses in both Humanities and Sciences. The college has been accredited by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) with a Grade “A” (CGPA 3.17) in 2024. The college has good infrastructure to cater to the needs of the different levels of the B.A. and B.Sc. courses. In 2015, two Post Graduate courses were introduced in the college, in the departments of Geography and Chemistry.
