RISHI BANKIM CHANDRA EVENING COLLEGE (RBCEC)

Our College is a Government-aided Institution of graduate studies enjoying accreditation conferred by NAAC. The College offers courses in B.A., B. Com. and B.Sc. named after the celebrated litterateur Rishi Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyaya and situated close to his birth place, the college caters to the needs of higher education of the districts of North 24 Parganas and adjoining Nadia and Hooghly. As a centre of higher studies, this institution acts both as an upholder of academic values and as a contributor towards social and economic empowerment of the young people in the neighborhood. By imparting graduate education in Arts, Commerce and Science, the College has proved its enduring concern for society at large over sixty years. The College now has plans to embark on extension programs, and so has constructed a new four- storied building to add excellence to the existing machinery.

THE LOGO

The Logo of the College bears the mention of the year 1947 in it to indicate the year of foundation when the undivided college was started in the evening time, and later, in 1984, Rishi Bankim Chandra Evening College emerged out of the parent institution.

The seven-leaf Deodar bough in the Logo symbolizes the ‘Saptaparni’ traditionally offered to successful students with the conferring of degree by traditional Indian Viswa Vidyalaya.
