About the J.D. Birla Institute:
J.D. Birla Institute,
which is 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 family. Over the 50
glorious years, JDBI has grown with the needs and demands of the changing times.
The Institute has made rapid strides over the decades 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 National
Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC), provides graduate, post-graduate
degrees under affiliation to Jadavpur University and several short term
courses.
