West Bengal's higher education tradition includes some of the oldest universities in India — University of Calcutta (1857), Jadavpur University (1955) and Visva-Bharati. Jadavpur is consistently ranked among the top state universities in NIRF, with strong engineering and arts faculties and a fully residential central campus in Kolkata.
Engineering admissions to Jadavpur University and West Bengal's state engineering colleges are through the West Bengal Joint Entrance Examination (WBJEE). Central University of Bengal and many other UG admissions are now via CUET UG. CLAT is used for the National University of Juridical Sciences (NUJS) Kolkata.
