Naba Barrackpore Prafulla Chandra Mahavidyalaya

On 16th September 1966, a degree college was established exclusively for Commerce discipline to run in the evening shift, named after the great scientist and philosopher Acharya Prafulla Chandra Roy, perhaps as a logical conclusion following the first instance of naming the local day college after him. The college started its journey as a Co-educational Evening college with Pre-University as well as B.Com (Genl.) Course affiliated to the University of Calcutta. To meet the prolonged students' demand, this college had been rechristened as "Naba Barrackpur Prafulla chandra Mahavidyalaya" in 2005 which obtained extension of affiliation of four Arts subjects for General Course and Honours Course in Economics. In the same year there was an introduction of vocational Course in X + 2 with Business & Commerce Stream, due to the abolition of H.S. Course (General Stream). In 2006 extension of affiliation in three more Arts subjects was obtained along with Engineering Technology in Vocational course.
