Kolkata — Calcutta to generations of its students — has been an education capital since Hindu School (1817) and Presidency (1817). It is home to the University of Calcutta, Jadavpur University, IIM Calcutta, ISI, IIEST Shibpur and WBNUJS, five government medical colleges, and the country's densest cluster of ICSE schools. eCalcutta lists them category by category, free, with live-search buttons for fees, admissions and news.
