History

Purba Bardhaman(i.e. East Bardhaman) is about 100 km (62 mi) north-west of Kolkata and serves as the district headquarters. Jesuit roots in Bardhaman("Burdwan") go back nearly 50 years when they opened an English medium school for the large Santhal(an Indian tribe) Christian population.[1]

Xavier's Burdwan was opened in July 2014 with Bishop Cyperian Monis of the Diocese of Asansol officiating.[2]

The college is affiliated to The University of Burdwan.[3] It offers all 3 years honors courses: the B.A. in English, Sociology, and Geography; the B.Com. in Accountancy; and the B.Sc. in Biotechnology, Computer Science, and Geography.[4]

From 2018, as per notification from The University of Burdwan, it is also now offering BCA(Bachelor of Computer Applications)[3 years] course.
