Shaheed Bhagat Singh Evening College
About the College

The foundational idea of the college is service to the nation as a vital part of one’s life and as a guiding light for the development of society. This idea is inculcated in students every step of the way. In its initial years, the college catered to those who were employed and aspired to enhance their educational qualifications and career prospects. However, with the changing dynamics in education and the growing accessibility of higher learning, the college redefined its approach to become more inclusive and opened its doors to all sections of society. Today, the college offers undergraduate courses to all students aspiring for academic excellence and personal growth.
