Dwijendralal College, Nadia was established in August 1968. Its affiliated to University of Kalyani.

Dwijendralal College was established in the year 1968, as Krishnagar College of Commerce. It was established as the people around this city wanted a college for commerce education. At the initial stage, it started its operations in the premises of Debnath High School. Later in the year 1970 it acquired its own place at its present location. As a single discipline college it offered only COmmerce education over a long time till it is felt by the administration of the college that there is a real scope of diversification in its educational operations, and so in the year 2003 it started to teach the Arts education too. This college is recognized under section 2(f) and included under section 12 (B) of UGC Act 1956, vide letter number UGC /3511-52L-8 DATED 31/03/1993. In the initial stage the college was affiliated to the University of Calcutta. Later, in the year 1999 it got affiliation to the University of Kalyani. In the year 1993 the college was renamed as Dwijendralal Roy and also to reveal the fact that it will act as a multi-discipline college from now on.

The college also has study centres for other courses like Directorate of Open and Distance Learning, the University of Kalyani and the Indira Gandhi National Open University. Those facilities are added to faciliate the students of this locality who cannot go for the master's degree in regular courses due to various reasons, and both of the study centres run successfully with a huge number of students.

As the campus area of this collee is very limited and almost all the possibilities of the expanisons of the physical infrastructure are exhausted but there is still ample opportunity to grow and diversify its scope of operation, now the college is thinking for a second campus. With the help of the local municipality, the Governing Body of the college is searching for a sizeable amoung of land in the nearby locality so that campus area does not cause a constraint in the path of the college's further expansion and diversification.
