A Brief History
The foundation of this college was laid in 1917, as a small school in Pandeyganj area of Lucknow. In 1938, this school transformed into a completely developed Inter College, offering full-fledged education in Art, Science, and Commerce streams.
In 1946, the Inter-college earned affiliation from Lucknow University and started classes for B.A. and B.Com. Slowly and steadily, it expanded into teaching various other subjects. Presently the college has enrolled over 10 thousand students, in various courses which include B.A., B.Com, B.P.Ed. , B.Sc, B.Ed., LLB, BBA, M.A., M.Sc., and M.Com.
Located in the heart of Lucknow city, the college is not only shaping futures but also setting new benchmarks. With such a great history, the present day college is a leading name in education. As they complete 100 years, we congratulate them and hope that they achieve much more.
