In 1905, the National Council of Education (NCE) was setup by the joint efforts of Raja Subodh Chandra Mallik, Brajendra Kishore Roy Chowdhury, Sir Rash Behari Ghosh (first President of NCE), Rabindranath Tagore and Sri Aurobindo Ghosh. Its primary aim was to impart literary, scientific and technical education on national lines exclusively under national control.
In 1910 the Society for the Promotion of Technical Education in Bengal which looked after Bengal Technical Institute (which later became College of Engineering and Technology, Bengal) was amalgamated to NCE. NCE henceforth looked after the College of Engineering and Technology, Bengal.
After Independence, on the 24th of December 1955, Jadavpur University was officially established by the Government of West Bengal with the concurrence of the Government of India. Now Jadavpur University has successfully established itself as a foremost Indian University with a vast repertoire of courses offered, an enviable list of faculty members and has come to be known for its commitment towards advanced study and research.
