About Agra College
Agra College, one of the oldest institutions of higher education in India, was founded in 1823 by the renowned Sanskrit scholar and astrologer Pandit Gangadhar Shastri. Initially functioning as a Government College until 1883, it later came under the management of a Board of Trustees and a Committee of Management approved by the government. Over the years, Agra College has produced numerous illustrious alumni who have significantly contributed to national and international spheres, including Pt. K.D. Paliwal, Sir Tej Bahadur Sapru, Shri Gopal Swaroop Pathak, Justice S.K. Dhar, Shri Gulzari Lal Nanda, and Chaudhary Charan Singh.
In 1924, the college celebrated its centenary with the presence of the then Viceroy, Sir R. D. Issac. The college's academic affiliations have evolved over time, starting with Calcutta University, then Allahabad University from 1887 to 1926, and currently Dr. B.R. Ambedkar University, Agra. Agra College has consistently demonstrated its commitment to academic excellence and development, evident in the diverse range of faculties it offers, including Science, Arts, Fine Arts, and Law.
In 1999, Agra College expanded its horizons by establishing the Faculty of Engineering and Technology under a self-finance scheme. This faculty, recognized by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and affiliated with Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University, boasts state-of-the-art infrastructure and exceeds the standards set by AICTE. The addition of this faculty underscores Agra College's dedication to providing superior engineering education and enhancing its development potential.
