Dear Students and Parents,
As we prepare for the future endeavor, it gives me immense pleasure to welcome all the students of 1st Semester of Malda College for the academic year 2020-21.
Malda College is one of the pioneer NAAC accredited, Govt. sponsored higher education institutions of West Bengal. Malda College has recently completed its 75 years of glorious academic journey.
We, at Malda College, strive to develop the unique individuality of each student, give the students the right kind of help and support. We give utmost importance to make discipline a core value, and to initiate all round development through well-structured Curriculum, well-planned Academic Calendar, continuous internal evaluation through descriptive as well as online MCQ class test and various co-curricular activities: Sports, NSS & NCC, Inter departmental Model Exhibition & Competition, Wall Magazine, Cultural Programme, Debate & quiz Competition and many more.
The upcoming academic session is of great importance for Malda College as we are going to face NAAC visit for the re-accreditation of the college from the perspective of quality education. Our sole mission is to enhance the quality of education and to ensure the students’ attendance in the college. With these aims in mind, we give more emphasis to innovative teaching learning practices and the use of ICT in teaching learning methods. We have already implemented various innovative ideas such as music therapy, motivational lectures, student seminar, classes by successful alumni, departmental & central guardians meet at regular intervals, online attendance, various outreach programmes etc. We also provide well-structured and transparent online Feedback mechanism. Students can also inform their grievances through a platform at anytime, anywhere.
The college has introduced well planned curriculum for Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) under University of Gour Banga. The purpose of this initiative is clearly to make a student-centric teaching-learning system. To cope with this new system, every department in the college has already started departmental websites containing handy information for the students regarding syllabus, lesson plans, class routines, academic calendars and other academic affairs and so on. Every faculty member owns personal website which is linked to the respective departmental websites for the convenience of the students.
I want to assure you that the College Administration, our team of experienced, dedicated teachers and support staff are doing their best to give the students required edge to make their mark in this global world. I cordially seek the whole hearted support and cooperation from all the stakeholders of Malda College for upliftment of this college and to turn the college into a Centre of Excellence.
I, on behalf of Malda College, welcome all the students and wish you all the best for achieving greater success and attaining new heights in the coming session.
Let the upcoming academic journey at Malda College be a journey of learning, success and good memories.
With warm wishes
Dr Manas Kumar Baidya
Principal, Malda College, Malda
Dear students,
Welcome to Malda College. You have just begun a very important journey of your life, the journey of higher education. The next three years are going to be the make or break years. You can make these three years enjoyable by focusing on your education and overall development or you can “enjoy college life” for three or more years. If you sweat it out for three years you will reap its fruits for the rest of your life and if you “enjoy college life” for a few years you will have to sweat it out for the rest of your life. The choice is yours.
It may sound rude and you may think, what are teachers here for? If I make a mistake they should correct me. True, teachers and staff of Malda College are always there to guide you. However, of the many new things that you will experience in College, one is FREEDOM. Freedom is a double edged sword and it comes with a price: RESPONSIBILITY. Without responsibility freedom has only one edge, the one against you.
Like in any other journey, your progress will be hampered severely if you are carrying a heavy burden. One of the heaviest burdens you can carry at this phase of your life is REGRET. So pause for a moment and see if you have any regrets. Maybe, you wanted to study something else or at some other place. I have seen students ruin their career with this regret. If you are carrying one, drop it immediately. Malda College may have drawbacks, but if you want, the resources available at Malda College is more than adequate for your needs and with these resources our students have placed themselves in good positions throughout the globe.
Let me elaborate, Malda College has a certain disadvantage due to location and has more students than what its limited resources can nourish in a healthy manner. However, in this age, where almost everyone has a smart phone and data is available at a very reasonable price, these disadvantages can be easily overcome. Almost all the knowledge of the world exists in your smartphone. Are you smart enough to use it to your advantage?
Today it’s not the lack of information that is a problem. It’s the unmanageable surplus of information that has to be tackled carefully. On this front, the websites of the teachers and departments will come to your aid. The College encourages its teachers to share useful links and information on their website. However, if you need more help please feel free to approach the concerned teachers. They will be glad to help you.
All the teachers have a lesson map on their website. The learning outcomes for all courses is also available on the departments’ / teachers’ website. Using these you will know what will be taught in which class and what you will have learned at the end of the class. Now if you want, using the books from library and the digital resources from internet you can prepare yourself for the class in advance. If you do this, the classroom interactions with teachers can be used to clarify the doubts. This will not only help you to learn the subject properly, it will develop your confidence and break you free from the shackles of “private tuitions” A large collection of lectures from all over the world and from the best of the intuitions are available online for free. MIT, Yale, Stanford, name a good institution and you will surely find their classrooms videos along with other materials. Are you going to use it? The choice is yours. If you have a problem in understanding the American/ European accent then a large number of lectures in Indian accent are available on NPTL and SWAYAM. Google it and you will know more what you can learn in three years.
Before concluding, I place an appeal from the Coordinator’s desk. Let’s adopt a mission “GO GREEN” and function in such a way as to make the earth a better place to live in. Starting with our immediate surroundings let’s begin. However small our actions may be it will make a difference. The second appeal is that you will utilize the online learning resources with the guidance of your teachers and will not waste any more time on the so-called social media.
Good luck and bon voyage

Since April 2017, Malda College has adopted Kheribari, a tribal village under Bhabuk Gram Panchayat. The objective of the adoption being the social and economic upliftment of poor tribal people. Visible changes have been seen in the village mainly in regarding drinking water supply, construction of concrete road, sanitation, skill development, etc. The most prominent one being the 100% enrolment in the village primary school which was almost defunct with two students on roll at the time of adoption.
It is expected that the students will spare some time and help the College with the extension programme. For helping in any way please feel free to contact the Coordinator of the extension Cell: Sri. Pijush Kanti Saha, WhatsApp: 8250408077.
