About the Committee

INTRODUCTION

Asutosh College offers postgraduate courses to cater the need for higher studies. The first Post Graduate Course, Environmental Science, was started in Asutosh College in 2002 under the affiliation of University of Calcutta. Later, Post Graduate courses on Geography (2009), Zoology (2009), Bengali (2011), Geology (2014), and Computer Science (2014) were gradually introduced under the affiliation of University of Calcutta. Initially all these courses had academic autonomy and were conducted by a Board of Studies approved by University of Calcutta,  which conducted admission and examinations in all PG Departments in Asutosh College. Since 2018, University of Calcutta has been directly conducting these Courses.

Since the inception of PG Courses, Admission and Examination were handled by Dr. Parthasarathi Ghosh (Chemistry), with active support of Dr. Sajal Bhattacharya, Associate Professor in Zoology and convener of the PG Studies of the College.
