Established in 1942, Ananda Chandra College stands as one of the oldest
institutions in Jalpaiguri. Students as well as teachers from across the region
continue to choose our college for its legacy of excellence.
In addition to our standard undergraduate programmes, Ananda Chandra
College provides an enriching opportunity for students to pursue a Master’s
degree in Bengali. Furthermore, we offer undergraduate courses through distance
learning programs in collaboration with prestigious institutions such as Netaji
Subhas Open University and DDE Burdwan University, with A.C. College serving as
a designated study center. These distance learning options extend significant
benefits to students, enabling them to overcome financial and time constraints
while still accessing quality education. Additionally, our partnership with
Netaji Subhas Open University has expanded to include Master’s Programmes in
Geography and Zoology, further enhancing the educational offerings available at
Ananda Chandra College.
Both government and non-government organizations frequently select A.C.
College as their preferred venue for hosting various programmes. Notably, the
college is entrusted with hosting significant examinations such as the State
Level Eligibility Test (SLET), Police Sub-Inspector and constable examinations,
and other pivotal events like West Bengal Regional Science Congress (the first
Science Congress was held in Ananda Chandra College in 2016), District youth
Parliament etc. This choice reflects the esteemed reputation of the college and
the extensive pool of faculty members available to support these endeavours.
