MAHESHTALA COLLEGE
About the College : Maheshtala College is prominently located beside the Budge Budge Trunk Road,
amidst soothing green surroundings. The college was established on 9th November, 1971 epitomising the
cherished dreams and hard work of some visionaries of Behala, Maheshtala and Budge Budge. The
objective was to impart quality collegiate education to the local students, who earlier had to travel a long
way for higher education or discontinue it midway. Initially, the college held classes in nearby
Sarengabad High School. The college received affiliation from the University of Calcutta for 3 year
Degree and Pre-University course in Arts.
Overcoming stringent financial crisis, the college shifted to its present campus in 1979, with
contributions made by local people, ranging from brick-kiln owners to factory workers, and the teachers
of the college, who donated their honorarium for this noble cause. Since then, Maheshtala College has
gone through several phases of development. In 1977-78, the College was granted affiliation to teach
Commerce courses in Higher Secondary and Degree levels. In 1995, the college received affiliation to
introduce Science courses in Higher Secondary and Degree levels, as well as Honours courses in Bengali.
Within a very short span, subjects such as Computer Science and Journalism were introduced as were
Honours in almost all subjects in Humanities, in Accounting and Finance (Commerce), Mathematics and
Computer Science (Science). At present, Maheshtala College is a full-fledged degree college, housed in
two blocks amidst verdant surroundings. Imparting comprehensive education both within and outside
curricular framework, ensuring holistic personality development of students in academically conducive
ambiance unstilted commitment of all staff members, fully automated administrative network connecting
all departments of the college and a young, enthusiastic student community -all contribute towards
making the college a centre of academic eminence. With substantial financial assistance from Local MP,
MLA, Zila Parishad, U.G.C. and the State Government, MAHESHTALA COLLEGE is confidently
marching ahead towards fulfillment of its noble mission.
In 2004, the college has been accredited by the NAAC; re-accreditation process has also been initiated.
Location: The college is situated prominently on the Budge Budge Trunk Road. Nangi Rail station on
Sealdah- Budge Budge Suburban Railway network is ten minutes away. The college well-connected by
local and government bus transport upcoming Elevated Corridor project from Batanagar to Jinjira Bazar
