BIRPARA COLLEGE

Birpara College was established as a commerce college offering B.Com. (General) with English and Bengali as language subjects in 1986. Following increase in student enrolment and acknowledging their demand, the University of North Bengal (NBU) approved Accountancy (Honours) in 2000. By then, the college was also offering courses in humanities. In 1995, NBU had given the college sanction for starting B.A. (General) courses with the Economics, Sociology and Geography as the elective subjects. The introduction of the humanities resulted in manifold increase in the number of students and since then the college has got approval for seven Honours subjects�namely, Geography (2001), Bengali (2003), Sociology (2005), History and Nepali (both in 2009), English (2017) and Political Science (2020)�and six elective subjects: History (2003), Nepali (2005), Political Science (2009), Education and Hindi (both in 2012), and Physical Education (2017). B.Sc. (Program) course with Computer Science, Mathematics and Physics as the subjects was introduced as a self-financed course in 2017.
