City College ( located at 102/1, Raja Rammohan Roy Sarani ) was founded by Ananda Mohan Bose and the Sadharan Brahmo Samaj in 1881 .  Other illustrious Brahmo leaders associated with this institution were Pandit Sivnath Sastri and Umesh Chandra Dutta. Rastraguru Surendranath Banerjee later joined the College as teacher.  Today it is popularly called as the North City College to differentiate it from the South City College at Golpark. In 1961, the college was divided into three separate colleges– Rammohan College (morning), City College (day) and Ananda Mohan College (evening).  Till 2017, the college used to be administered by the Brahmo Samaj Education Society, a society constituted by the Sadharan Brahmo Samaj. After that, it became a grant-in-aid college under the Department of Higher Education, Government of West Bengal.  Today Ananda Mohan College offers 9 humanities, 4 commerce and 7 science stream undergraduate courses. Rammohan College has acquired the heritage building at 85A
