The Meerut College was started on 15th July 1892 with only a few students and fewer teaching staff in a Municipal School building. After a few days only it was shifted to its new campus where it had to overcome many problems including shortage of funds, to give the institution a permanent status. Individual donation and grants-in-aid helped to tide over the crisis. Thereafter, the institution grew rapidly and expanded its activities in the sphere of higher education. The present campus of the College with its sports, and hostel complexes provide excellent facilities for the students to compete in the field of educational research and other activities. This College is rendering great service to the cause of higher education in the country by providing research and postgraduate facilities in different faculities, including Humanities, Science, Commerce, Law and Education. The College was affiliated to Meerut University in 1964 when the University was formed

The impressive Meerut College building. Established around same time as the Delhi University - by the British. We did have an educational system before the British. It was just that it was less structured and not well defined. A lot of emphasis was given to knowledge of the immediate locality and even regional history. Many popular text books for science and maths have been written by Meerut College professors. Most young people are under the impression that everything including roads and courts were the work of the British. Hardly, in fact the courts - just after The East India Company installed an administrative structure - were still called Adaalats.
