History

Since its inception in 1863 Patna College functioned as a Government College until it became a constituent college of Patna University on January 2, 1952. The college celebrated the beginning of 150th year of its foundation in January 2012.

Campus & Buildings

The administrative block of the college is the oldest of all the buildings. It used to be the site for an opium store-house and a Dutch factory in the 17th century, much before the college was started. Other buildings were constructed gradually over a period of time. Some of these are the western wing (1871), the eastern (1880), the portico and the present BA lecture theatre (1882) connected with the main building by the long western corridor named after principal Ewbank. Later the hostels like Jackson, Minto, New and Iqbal and quarters for the principal and professors were constructed.
