About the organisation
Loreto College, Calcutta, was founded in 1912 by the Sisters of the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary (IBVM), founded by Mary Ward in 1609. It emerged from Loreto House and became one of the early women’s colleges affiliated with the University of Calcutta, offering Intermediate Arts, BA, Intermediate Science and, from 1913, Licentiate in Teaching (LT). The establishment of the teaching college fulfilled a long-standing vision of Mother Gonzaga Joynt, supported by the pioneering teachertraining work of Mother Gonzaga Barry of Ballarat, Australia.
The College played an important pioneering role in women’s higher education and teacher training in India, providing women access to subjects and professional education that were traditionally less accessible to them.

Loreto College has a strong record of academic excellence and quality assurance. It was the first institution in West Bengal assessed by NAAC, receiving a five-star rating in 2000 and subsequent A grades in 2006, 2012 and 2021. Its B.Ed. Department, established in 1913, has also received high NAAC grades. The College was recognized by the UGC as a College with Potential for Excellence and has featured in the NIRF rankings.

Today, the College offers four-year B.A. and B.Sc. programmes, a three-year multidisciplinary programme with Major, Minor and interdisciplinary subjects, and postgraduate programmes including M.A. English, with approval for M.Sc. Psychology. Value Education and Certificate Courses complement its academic programmes and contribute to the holistic development of students.

Loreto College remains committed to academic excellence, leadership, commitment and selfless service. Its Women’s Cell, established in 1996, works with staff, students and friends of the College to support disadvantaged young women, including through adult literacy initiatives.
