Status of the University

1.2 A Flashback to the Past

Mohammedan College of Calcutta, popularly known as Madrasah-i-Aliah or Calcutta Madrasah is the first educational
institution set up in India in 1780 by Warren Hestings, the then Governor General of East India Company. Calcutta Madrasah
was established chiefly for the study of the Arabic and Persian languages and Muslim Law so that the sons of the Muslim
gentry could perform the duties as ocers for running the revenue administration and judiciary. The Naib Nizam was
instructed to recruit the students of the Madrasah as vacancies occurred in the Fauzdari Courts, on production of certificates
of eciency. However, within a decade Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry, Astronomy, Islamic Theology, Oriental Studies,
Natural Philosophy, Geological Studies, Law, Logic, Rhetoric, Grammar, and Oratory were added to the list of prescribed
subjects for study. In 1821, the Annual Examination of the Madrasah was held in the presence of many respectable ocials
and academic luminaries of Calcutta. This was the first public examination held in British India. A medical class, headed by
Dr. Peter Breton, Professor of Medicine, was started at this Madrasah in 1826 for the first time in British India. Dr. Breton was
authorized to purchase a skeleton and collect medical books. An anatomical work published by John Taylor was arranged
to be translated into Arabic. The medical class continued here till the establishment of Calcutta Medical College in 1836.
However, the students of the Madrasah were allowed to study medicine at Calcutta Medical College. This speaks for the
high standard of education at the Madrasah in those days. Also, the curricula taught at this institution were a blend of
theological studies, natural sciences, and the humanities, as was done in the world-wide Madrasah system of education
which produced the galaxy of scholars who made original contributions to astronomy, mathematics, chemistry, physics,
medicine, geology, art & architecture, and so on. The authorities tried to introduce English as a subject for study in 1826.
But, not many students were found willing to learn English, as Persian was still the medium of administration in India. But
in 1837 the colonial government replaced Persian with English as the ocial language. So the Anglo-Arabic Department
was opened at the Madrasah in 1839 for the teaching of English. At the recommendation of a Committee, again in 1854,
this Anglo-Arabic Department was abolished and an English school, in the name of Anglo-Persian Department, was started
under the direct control of the Principal of Calcutta Madrasah. The great reformist Nawab Abdul Latif (1828-1893), a product
of Calcutta Madrasah, played an important role in the establishment of this Department so that Muslim children could
receive the much-needed English education. After the Great Rebellion or the so-called Sepoy Mutiny of 1857, the British
rulers began to have a suspicious attitude to the Muslims. Questions were raised regarding the maintenance of Calcutta
Madrasah at Government cost. There were proposals to abolish the Madrasah, at least the Arabic Department, retaining
only the Anglo-Persian Department. However, in 1860, the Government of India, rejecting the idea of abolition, rather
recommended improvement in its management. So the Madrasah continued to exist. In 1869, a Committee consisting of
C.H. Campbell, Commissioner of the Presidency Division, I. Suitcli, Principal of Presidency College, and Nawab Abdul Latif,
then a Deputy Magistrate, was formed to inquire into the aairs of the Madrasah and suggest improvement. Some reforms
were introduced at the Calcutta Madrasah according to the suggestions of this committee. Further reforms were introduced
at the recommendations of the Education Commission headed by W.W. Hunter in 1884. Nawab Abdul Latif and Justice Syed
Amir Ali played a very important role in these reforms. In 1896, Elliot Hostel was founded, with funds raised out of donations
from the public, for the accommodation of the Madrasah students who so far had used the ground floor of the Madrasah
as their hostel. In 1902 the Muslim Institute was established as a part and parcel of Calcutta Madrasah. The Principal of
the Madrasah was ex-ocio President and Treasurer of the Muslim Institute. Several committees and commissions were
appointed in 1915, 1923, 1931, 1938-40, and 1946 for the improvement in the syllabi, curricula, and all round development
of Madrasah education in Bengal, particularly of Calcutta Madrasah.
Calcutta Madrasah was upgraded to Calcutta Madrasah College on 22nd February, 2006 and then to Aliah University by the
Government of West Bengal through Aliah University Act XXVII of 2007 passed in West Bengal Legislative Assembly.

1.3 Present and Future of the University

In addition to the existing Kamil (B.A.) and M.M. (M.A.) programmes in Islamic Theology and the 3-year Honours course in
Arabic, Aliah University oers 5-year integrated M.Sc. in Computer Science, 5-year integrated MBA, MCA, 5-year integrated
M.A. in English, M.A./M.Sc. in Geography, 5-year integrated M.Sc. in Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Statistics, 4-year
B.Tech. in Computer Science & Engineering, Electronics & Communication Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical
Engineering and Civil Engineering, 2-year M.A. in English, Bengali, History, Jurnalism & Mass Communication, Arabic, 2-year
M.A./M.Sc. in Geography. From 2013-14 the University is starting a 2-year M.Sc. course in Mathematics, 2-year LLM, 2-year
M.A. in Urdu,Arabic and 2-year M.Tech in CEN,ECE,CSE,EEN,MEN. From the Academic Session 2015-16, 3-year MCA, 2-year
M.Sc. in Statistics and lateral entry to the 2nd Year of B. Tech. programmes by Diploma Engineering students is also introduced.
Besides the old existing premises of erstwhile Calcutta Madrasah College at 21, Haji Md. Mohsin Square, Kolkata-7 0 0 016,
which is mainly used to conduct the programmes on Islamic Theology and B.Ed., all other programmes in Science &
Engineering run by the University are being held at the New Town campus, Rajarhat, Kolkata-156, and all Humanities
(including Arabic) and Social Science programmes are being held at Park Circus campus, 17, Gorachand Road, Kolkata17(behind Lady Brabourn College). The University runs its administrative section in the beautiful, sprawling, state-of-the-art
campus of its own on a land admeasuring 20 acres at New Town, Rajarhat.
1.4 Vision and Mission of the University
Aliah University is marching on with a vision to recapture the ambience and dynamic cultural heritage of the Madrasah system,
to expand and deepen it, to evolve it further with a successful outreach into the emerging areas in each branch of modern
science, technology, social studies, and humanities. It aims to instill the dynamism of its glorious heritage of the past among
all its students, so that they can successfully cope with the critical needs and challenges of the present and contribute to the
future advancement of science, technology, and human civilization. It also hopes to develop in its students the love and
respect for the fellow citizens of the country and to cherish the ideals of secularism and national integrity.
1.5 A Special Feature
The University being a minority institution and a part of the (primary-to-Ph.D.) Madrasah education system, and having a
rich heritage of Islamic Culture, it is expected that all students of the University shall have some basic knowledge of Arabic and
Islamic Studies. For that reason, all the students have to study two compulsory subjects, viz., Elementary Arabic and Islamic
Studies in the first semester of their curricula. Students having already studied these subjects as part of their Secondary and
Higher Secondary curricula will be oered suitable alternative subjects in lieu of them.
However, English being internationally accepted as a medium of communication and the University having a multilingual
student-teacher community, medium of instruction followed in the University is English, except the language subjects like
Arabic, Bengali, etc.
1.6 Motto of the University
The motto of the University is Advancement of Education and Culture in Arabic, Taqdeem-ut-Taleem wa-asSaqafah.

2. PROGRAMMES
Except the 2-year M Tech, B. Ed. and Ph. D programmes, admissions to all other programmes run by the University are
