Allahabad University ,Uttar Pradesh
Allahabad University is a popular educational institution for higher learning situated in Allahabad.

Allahabad University is a popular educational institution for higher learning situated in Allahabad in the state of Uttar Pradesh, which forms part of the Indian subcontinent.

Allahabad University is in fact regarded as the fourth modern university in India and was established on 23rd September 1887. This university is recorded for having a sound academic tradition and it also has several major achievements to its credit. When it was established, the university began as an affiliating and examining body for graduate and post-graduate programs with a class orientation in different branches of learning. It also had the responsibility of secondary education. In 1951 the university recognized certain local institutions as Associated Colleges to impart degree in various programs. After four decades of its re-organization it has achieved fame both nationally and internationally.

The demand for the `central status` of the university was raised during the centenary celebrations of the university. Against the proposition of the Bill introduced in the Parliament in December in 2004 to recognize the university as an `Institution of National Importance`, both the houses of the Parliament duly passed `The University of Allahabad Allahabad UniversityAct 2005` in the month of May in 2005.

The subjects in which Faculty of Arts offer degrees and perform research at the university are Arabic and Persian, Anthropology, Education, Geography, English and Modern European Languages, Music and Performing Arts, Medieval and Modern History, Philosophy, Hindi, Physical Education, Psychology, Political Science, Urdu, Sanskrit, Journalism and Mass Communication. The subjects in which the Faculty of Science offer degrees and conduct research programs are Bio-chemistry, Chemistry, Botany, Earth and Planetary Sciences, Defense and Strategic Studies, photography, Physics, Electronics and Communication, Physics, Mathematics, Zoology, Statistics, Bioinformatics, Biotechnology and Home Science. There is also a faculty of Law, which offers several judicial programs.

The university has showed remarkable progress in the 118 years of its existence. Beside the regular undergraduate and post graduate programs the university also offers a list of professional programs in Business Management, Law, Electronic and Tele-communication, Medicine, Human Resource Development, Educational Training, Journalism and Mass Communication and many more. A number of vocational programs have also been provided in the graduate degree programs in accordance with the UGC Scheme for vocational courses. Several courses are also offered by the Institute of Professional Studies (IPS) and have been designed accordingly to the emerging requirements for specialized personnel in various arenas.

The Institute of Inter-disciplinary Studies (IIDS) has also been developed by the University to pursue a non-conventional paradigm for research activities. This renowned university has also taken advantage of the rapid advances and expansion of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). The initiation of the computerization process began in the mid 1980s and now the admission and examination process are completely being computerized. The controversy related to the merger of the Motilal Nehru College with this esteemed institution has long been resolved. The High Court of Allahabad has recently passed an order regarding the integration of the Medical College with the University.
