History

Maharaja Bir Bikram Manikya Bahadur, the last king of Tripura, was the architect and founder of this college which was affiliated to University of Calcutta. The king had planned to establish a college at Agartala as early as 1937. An area of 254 acres of land (mostly khas land and small acquired position) was earmarked for the college in the eastern part of the-then small capital town of Agartala. It was given the name "Vidyapattan". Construction began in 1937 for which a trustee board was formed. The construction had to be abandoned when World War II broke out and the ground floor was converted into an army hospital for British Army moving to and from Burma. Maharaja Bir Bikram College (MBB College) started functioning in 1947 to meet the needs of college students who had migrated to Tripura from erstwhile East Pakistan.[6] [7] The-then Regent, Kanchan Prava Devi, responded to the needs of these uprooted Bengali students and almost overnight obtained the affiliation of Calcutta University for IA, ISC, BA and BCOM examination.[8]
