About Us
Surya Sen Mahavidyalaya, affiliated to the University of North Bengal, made its humble beginning on September 18, 1998, for conducting degree courses in Arts, Science and Commerce streams. Initially classes were held in the Siliguri College campus. The present campus of the college, at Surya Sen Colony, Siliguri, became operational since July 2000. With the establishment of Surya Sen Mahavidyalaya, a long standing demand for a third college in Siliguri finally became realised. Since its inception, the Mahavidyalaya has carved out a niche in the academic frame of Siliguri. The college, within this short period, assumed the status of one of the premier colleges in North Bengal - thanks to the able stewardship of its principal, administrators, teaching and non-teaching staff and students.
Our Campus
The College is situated at Surya Sen Colony on the road connecting New Jalpaiguri Railway Station and the City of Siliguri. Thus, in addition to its vicinity to central Siliguri the institution can claim its proximity to Silliguri suburbs and adjoining parts of Jalpaiguri district which falls under Siliguri Municipal Corporation's jurisdiction. The College campus with its imposing three storied building, spacious class rooms and well maintained verdant field offers a magnificent ambience which is ideal and conducive for quality learning experience.
Our Vision
The naming of the college after the legendary figure Surya Sen has instilled a tremendous sense of responsibility into the Mahavidyalaya fraternity to concretise the metaphoric resonance of the ideals which this great personality symbolised. One of the ways to achieve it is to show a rare alacrity in augmenting today's youths towards right direction who have fallen victim to historical counterforces.
Our mission is to help the students in realizing their innate capabilities which will ensure silent revolution in thought, powerful enough to destroy the dull and the dreary declaring a new dawn.
We are equally committed to produce quality graduates at a competitive level in line with international educational philosophy who will have capacity to bring meaningful changes to the mundane system. This is in line with our nation's aspiration which is to built a generation of professionals capable of addressing challenges of a new world order.
The triad of students, teachers and society has more responsibility now than ever before. Surya Sen Mahavidyalaya would love to symbolise as an image of being more than a mere manufacturing of degrees. Rather it would like to soldier on as an academic institution sharing positive values with the society and motivate learners to socio-cultural and intellectual activism. The road is long but this college is committed to reaching its goal.
