Welcome to Our College

Acharya Brojendra Nath Seal College has a brilliant history to boast of. It was formerly known as Victoria College. As a seat of learning, it has a glorious past. As Coochbehar has a legacy of education since an eon, this college is sure to have a memory-trove to cash in on, no doubt. Way back in 1888, Maharaja Nripendra Narayan, who was an enthusiast in expanding learning in this region, built this college in the bustling central hub of the town of Coochbehar.

The first Principal of this College was J.D. Goodley and the first Indian who graced the chair of the Principal was erudite Acharya Brojendra Nath Seal. For eighteen long years (1896-1913) he was at the helm of the affairs of this College. An ardent lover of books, this scholarly Principal was also a perfect academician and administrator. Under the aegis of Acharya Brojendra Nath Seal, the College had provisions for teaching post graduate courses in English Language and Literature and Philosophy. Even Law formed an appendage to it. After the merger of Coochbehar Princely State with India, The Government of West Bengal took up the responsibility of running this institution. Thus this College earned the status of a Government College.
