Previously known as Mohammedan College of Calcutta,[2]{{Circular reference|date=March 2019}} it was elevated to university in 2008.[3] It offers undergraduate and postgraduate programs in different Engineering, Arts, Science, Management and Nursing subjects.

History

The Aliah University (AU) is one of oldest modern educational institute in Asia and first in India in conical period. It was set up in October 1780 by Warren Hastings, the British Governor general of East India Company near Sealdah in Calcutta.[4] A number of a name was common like Islamic College of Calcutta, Calcutta Madrasah, Calcutta Mohammedan College and Madrasah-e-Aliah. Among of these name, Calcutta Mohammedan College was given by the Warren Hastings himself.[4] The original bulling was completed in 1782 at Bow Bazaar (near Sealdha) of Calcutta, later the college moved to its present old campus Wellesley Square in the 1820s. Initially this madrasah college taught Natural Philosophy, Arabic, Persian, Theology and Islamic Law, Astronomy, Grammar, Logic, Arithmetic, Geometry, Rhetoric and Oratory.[5] The Calcutta Madrasa followed different models for different subjects, like Darse Nizamiyah of Firingi Mahal for Persian and Arabic, and the old Peripatetic School Model for the Logic and Philosophy.[6] The first head preceptor of this college was Mulla Majduddin, he was a well-known personality and an erudite in Islamic learning in that time in Bengal. In 1791, Mulla Majduddin was replaced by Muhammad Ismail because of allegations of mismanagement against him. Capt Ayron, a British army officer was appointed in 1819 as the first secretary by East India Company to take total power of administration of the Madrasa and he was in the administration power up to 1842. Capt Ayron made several reforms, the first annual examination of the madrasah was held on August 15, 1827, and first medical class of India was arranged by this instituted in 1826 under Dr.Breton, the professor of medicine. After 10 years successful medical classes, the administration of the Madrasa decided to establish a separate Medical College, Calcutta Medical College in 1836 and this medical is first medical of India until now. However, the facility to study medical subjects by the Madrasah students in the Calcutta Medical College was retained.Introduction of elementary English courses was also started in college in 1826 under his administration but this English course had not to get huge success. Nawab Abdool Luteef and Waheedunnabi were first English scholars from this college.[6] Dr. Aloys Sprenger was appointed as a Principal for the first time in 1850 to resist the college from a current of continuing deterioration. In 1854, another reform attempt consisting of opening the Anglo-Persian department to make English as an official language under the direct control of Calcutta Madrasah College. The college failed to create enthusiasm. FA level college classes added to the Calcutta Madrasa in 1863, this reform also failed.After the Dr. Aloys Sprenger, few other European Principals was appointed and AH Harley [1910-11] was the last European Principals of this Madrasa. One by one failure of the reforms of Madras and after 1857, the year of the Sepoy Mutiny, the British Government started to see the Muslim community of the Bengal as constant suspicion. Lord Macaulay was a British Whig politician and historian, who advised the British Government to introduce English education to produce to Anglicized Indians. The main aim of this was to extend the British influence into vast areas of India. Then British Government was decided to establish the Calcutta University in 1857.[4] After the establishment of the Calcutta University created a precarious position for the Calcutta Madrasah. There were a number of proposals for closure to Calcutta university to British Authority in India, but the Authority allowed it to continue to function with only a traditional Madrasah teaching Arabic and Sharia Laws. Thus from the year 1857, the Calcutta Madrasa grew up as a separate stream in the education system of the Indian subcontinent. Shamsul Ulema Kamaluddin Ahmed was appointed as the first Indian principal of the Calcutta Madrasah College in 1927. In this same year, the first madrasah education board was established (called Board of Central Madrasah Examinations) for the conducting various examinations the Alim, Fazil, Kamil and Mumtazul Muhaddesin. The year of 1947 in which portion of India took place was very painful in the history of the Calcutta Madras in Bengal. All moveable properties like large numbers manuscripts and books were transferred to East Bengal (Now Bangladesh) at Dhaka madrasah and other things became topsy-turvy. Later in 1949 with help of Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, the Calcutta Madrasah was reopened. Now the Calcutta Madrasah was elevated to the university as the Aliah University under West Bengal state government controlled minority autonomous university in 2008. The newly set up buildings of Aliah University are located in Taltala, Park Circus and Rajarhat in Kolkata. The Rajarhat campus is used for Science, technology students and the main office while the Park circus campus and Taltala campus Nursing and Arts students, and the Islamic Theology students. Now this university offers undergraduate, postgraduate and Doctorates programs in different Arts, Science, Management, Engineering, Nursing and Islamic theology subjects.
