The College

The Scottish Church College was founded in July, 1830 by Rev. Dr. Alexander Duff of the Church of Scotland and his fellow missionaries like Rev. William Smith, with assistance from Raja Ram Mohan Roy, one of the great social reformers of our country. The B.T. department for lady graduate students was started in 1934 at Lady Jane Dundas Hostel on Cornwallis Street with 35 women "teacher trainees". The department was shifted to a three-storied building at 1 Urquhart Square in 1945. This was the only college in north and central Calcutta, which offered the B.ED. course exclusively for women students. Owing to the growing demand from the local people, the total number of seats was increased to 60 and then to 120 from 1981-82. At present, the total number of seats is 100. The department is affiliated to Calcutta University and recognized by the National Council of Teacher Education (NCTE) and National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) in 2004. The College was also recognized as College with Potential for Excellence by the UGC in 2006.

Our institutional mission and goal is to impart liberal education to women students and to produce intellectually sound, morally upright, socially concerned and spiritually oriented women who will serve not only the schools for which the course is designed but also the community at large, meeting the challenges of a rapidly changing world
