Maharaja Bir Bikram College

Location

Maharaja Bir Bikram College, or MBB College, is named after the former king of Tripura, Maharaja Bir Bikram Manikya Bahadur. A degree college in the state of Tripura, this institution imparts general education in various streams including science, commerce and humanities. Operational since 1947, this college was originally started to meet the needs of students who had migrated to Tripura from East Pakistan.

Spread across a land area of 254 acres, this college in the eastern part of Agartala was earlier named as 'Vidyapattan'. Though the construction of this college began as early as 1937, but it was abandoned after World War II broke out. The ground floor of the semi-constructed building was then used as an army hospital for the British Army. In late 1960s and early 1970s, it was upgraded into a postgraduate college.
