Bhattadev University (Assamese: ভট্টদেৱ বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়,) offers Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Commerce, Master of Arts and Master of Science courses. It was upgraded from Bajali College by Bhattadev University Act, 2017 which was passed by the Governor of Assam on 7 September 2017.

History

[edit]

The university was established by Bhattadev University Act, 2017 to which the Governor of Assam gave his assent on 16 October 2017. It is named after an illustrious son of Assam Baikunthanath Bhagavat Bhattacharya popularly known as Bhattadev, who is acknowledged as the father of Assamese prose. Bhattadev's erudition in Sanskrit grammar and literature, and his command over the Shrimadbhagavata purana earned him the title of Bhagavat Bhattacharya.

It is imperative to mention here that Bajali College started postgraduate courses in the Geography and Zoology departments way back in the 1980s with the postgraduate Department of Geography being the second oldest in Assam after Gauhati University.

Though in its nascent stage, the university has introduced the postgraduate programme in Physics in the very first year of its inception. It can be mentioned here that Bajali College already had postgraduate programmes in Mathematics, Assamese, Zoology, Geography before its upgradation to Bhattadev University.[citation needed]
