On 11th March 1906, at the start of the nationalist movement, the National Council of Education, Bengal, came into force. Its aim was to harness the best of technology and global learning to build an industrial base in India that would be self-reliant. It was led by statesmen, intellectuals, and middle-class intelligentsia.

The National Council of Education founded many educational institutions. Bengal Technical Institute was one of them. It was later renamed as College of Engineering and Technology and in 1955, called Jadavpur University.

The founders of the institute believed that for the technical institute to thrive, basic sciences and humanities sections should also be opened. Hence, the university started imparting education in the fields of science, arts, and technology.

Even after being a unitary university, other institutes that are affiliated to Jadavpur University are the Institute of Business Management, Jawahari Devi Birla Institute of Commerce and Management and Jadavpur Vidyapith.

All these institutes function out of their own independent campuses.

These affiliated institutes have their own unique examination systems and curriculum. However, Jadavpur university awards the students of these institutes the final degree.

Jadavpur University offers undergraduate, postgraduate and doctorate programmes in several disciplines. Admission to Jadavpur University is based on strict criteria. Students have to pass an admission test and their marks at the school level and +2 level are also taken into consideration while considering for admission.

A choice-based credit system has been implemented at the university at all levels. The strong points of the university are the allied outreach programmes and the interdisciplinary studies. There are forty centres of study and twenty-one schools of interdisciplinary studies. In order to focus on the schools of interdisciplinary studies, a new faculty of interdisciplinary studies has been established.

VISION

The National Council of Education, Bengal, was established in 1906 in the wake of the nationalist movement. It was led by intellectuals, statesmen and the middle-class intelligentsia, and its aim was to cultivate the best of global learning and technology in order to build a self-reliant industrial base for India. Bengal Technical Institute was among the educational institutions founded by NCE, Bengal. Its mission was to impart training to Indian students in the appropriate technology so that the country could produce indigenous consumable materials. This Institute, later renamed College of Engineering and Technology, was in turn converted to Jadavpur University in 1955. The founders believed that the Technology Faculty could not sustain itself without active Faculties of the Basic Sciences and the Humanities. While playing a vital role in technical education in the country, the University may be said to rest on three pillars-Technology, Science and Arts.

Jadavpur University is at present an internationally recognised premier university of the country. It is an urban university with a global perspective and is dedicated to creating leaders who will fashion a more humane and just world.

Following in the footsteps of its predecessor, the University not only engages itself in teaching and research of international quality, but also provides societal services for the benefit of rural and urban populations. The programmes are directed towards achieving excellence in education and extending the benefits of improved technology to the society as a whole.

The faculty members are encouraged to add value to the courses so that students can secure employment or attempt entrepreneurship. Extension programmes and several other courses provide opportunities for the drop-outs at different levels to continue their education. The objective is that they should be able to earn a living and derive the impersonal pleasure of learning at the same time. The University also contributes in evolving modes of digital distance education as part of the National Mission on Education.
