THE BACKGROUND

Mankar College, established in 1987, celebrated its Silver Jubilee in the year 2012. Side by side serving the under-privileged students for more than thirty years, the college has been able to uphold the rich tradition of education rooted in the locality. The modern system of education began here when Pandit Iswar Chandra Vidyasagar established a normal school in the mid-19th century. In keeping with this tradition the College has established itself as a seat of learning disseminating the fruits of knowledge to a large underdeveloped rural area on the border of and including the more backward jungle-mahal.

The initiative for establishing a college was undertaken by the local people in the late 1960s to gain an access in the world of higher education. After years of struggle the College ultimately saw the light of the day on 26th September 1987 in a five acre plot of land donated by Smt. Renubala Devi, a resident of Mankar. The campus expanded when additional land was received as donation from Sri Bireswar Banerjee and his brothers. A large number of people of this locality and surroundings have extended their help for the growth of the college. Of late Smt. Kanaklata Banerjee and her nephew Sri Soumitra Mukherjee have donated 75 decimal of land including a house to the College. The land has been used to construct a UGC funded girls’ hostel with an accommodation for 33 boarders.

In 1987 teaching -learning began with six Arts subjects, sixty-three students and six teachers in a thatched roofed mud-walled hut. Three decades later, the College today proudly offers all three streams – Arts, Commerce and Science with Honours in thirteen subjects. Almost seven hundred students take admission in First Year Arts alone. Huge buildings have been constructed and is also being constructed in a spacious green campus. The infrastructure has been strengthened by the presence of capacious classrooms, well-equipped laboratories and a well stockedlibrary.ICT is used in an extensive manner.

The appearance of the college has undergone radical changes, but the performance of the students in the University Examinations has remained exemplary right from the beginning. The success rate over the years has remained uniformly outstanding. By virtue of its students, non-teaching members of the staff and the teachers, Mankar College is recognized as one of the premier institutions affiliated to the University of Burdwan. The ambiance here is calm and quiet, traditional yet modern, disciplined and accommodative -- ideal for the pursuit of knowledge.

For a brief period, precisely from 24th of June 2015 to the 29th of May 2017, the college was affiliated to Kazi Nazrul University and was appreciated there also for its qualities. From May 2017 it is once again it is affiliated to The University of Burdwan.

In 2009 National Assessment & Accreditation Council (NAAC) after a visit to assess the college accredited us in grade ‘B’ with a CGPA of 2.21 on 4(four) point scale. Following the second cycle of assessment in 2016 Mankar College has been awarded the grade ‘B+’ with a CGPA of 2.58.Appreciating the performance of the College, the Govt. of India has chosen this college through RUSA (Rashtriya Uchchatar Shiksha Abhiyan) as one of the 750 selected colleges in the country to receive assistance for infrastructure development.

(HS = Total marks obtained in best five subjects including two languages but excluding EVS in HS or equivalent examination. If there is only one language then the marks received in it will be doubled.EVS can be included in best five if it is an elective compulsory subject. 3 Sub = marks obtained in HS in the subject in which Honours is sought. For Computer Science (Hons.) marks obtained in Mathematics in HS will be taken as subject marks, For Nutrition(Hons.) marks obtained in Chemistry in HS will be taken as subject marks). In case a tie happens in Honours grade point, priority will be given to the subject marks and then to the HS marks.

Merit lists for the General courses are prepared on the basis of grade point (GP) which is calculated as: GP = HS marks
