Science and Arts faculty building, Allahabad University Campus, Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh, India


On 23 September 1887, the University of Allahabad was established. It is one of the oldest universities established in the Indian subcontinent which primarily uses English as it medium of instruction. Its origins lie in the Muir Central College, named after Lt. Governor of North-Western Provinces, Sir William Muir in 1876, who suggested the idea of a Central University at Allahabad, which later evolved to the present university. At one point it was called the "Oxford of the East".
