Maharaja Agrasen College has been serving the cause of education for a full decade. Established in 1994 with the objective of catering to the educational requirements of the densely populated East Delhi area, it is today attracting serious and intelligent students. The college has indeed made East Delhi educationally self reliant as students today prefer to join this college rather than go all the way to distant campus colleges in search for quality education. The college is fully funded by the Govt. of NCT of Delhi. Though the college is housed in a temporary school building, it has valuable infrastructural assets like a computer centre, fully computerized Library, well equipped laboratories, state - of - the - art conference hall etc. The college has a 10 acre plot in Vasundhara Enclave for construction of permanent building. The Govt. of NCT of Delhi is taking a keen interest in sanctioning multi-crore building project which is likely to take off in the current academic session.
The Governing Body of the college comprises of eminent personalities from different walks of life. Mr. Sidharth Mishra, distinguished journalist and media personality and Chairman of the Governing Body, along with his colleagues have rendered invaluable guidance and support towards realization of the progressive vision for the college. In the academic session 2004-2005, 1027 students were admitted to the 09 job oriented courses of this college. At present, a committed teaching faculty of 67 members is engaged in the task of providing meaningful classroom education. It is supported by an administrative staff of 34 persons industriously working in various departments of the college. The institution has been providing university toppers consistently for the last five years. Academics are naturally the top priority of this institution but the institution lays equal emphasis on co curricular and extra curricular activities. The extra curricular front of the college is an especially vibrant and creative territory, organizing events like the Fresher's Day, Independence Day, Annual Cultural Festival - 'Plexus', Annual Day and the Farewell. The college has surged ahead in the other important area of co-curricular activities as well. During this academic session, particularly all eleven departments organized activities like seminars, debates, quizzes and lectures by eminent academicians, tours, excursions, poetry recitation and creative writing competitions etc.
The University has affected major revisions and restructuring for enhancing the profile of various courses. The college is in tune with the process of academic make-over in the University, arranging for the necessary infrastructure and human resource. The college has successfully touched the lives of many ambitious and industrious students and hopes that the three years of students enrolled with us will prove rewarding and fruitful.
