About the J.D. Birla Institute:
J.D. Birla Institute, a private un-aided college, was established in June 1962 when late Smt. Sushila Devi Birla established a college for girls to provide scientific education to young women from Kolkata’s conservative families. Over the last 50 glorious years, JDBI has grown with the needs and demands of the changing times. The Institute has made rapid strides to emerge as a centre of excellence. The name was changed to J.D. Birla Institute in 2002 with the launch of a satellite campus to house the co-educational Department of Management. Today the Institute, which has an `A’ grade from the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC), provides graduate, post-graduate degrees under affiliation to Jadavpur University and several short term courses.
