Our College
The University BT & Evening College is situated in the heritage city of Cooch Behar, capital of
the erstwhile princely state that merged with West Bengal after the independence of India.
The present address of the college is Keshab Road, Gunjabari, on the grounds where the old
palace of the Narayan kings existed, before it was demolished in the nineteenth century and
the royal family shifted to the new palace built in 1887, during the reign of Maharaja Sri
Nripendra Narayan.
The University BT & Evening College, a constituent college
of the University of North Bengal was established on 25th August 1968 with a view to giving
teachers’ training and helping the local youth to earn their first degree.
The institution embarked on its journey with the blessings of Maharaja Jagaddipendra Narayan
and Maharani Gina Narayan, the last royal couple of the Cooch Behar Princely state (foundation
