rdf:langString Agra College is one of the oldest institutions of higher education in India. Pandit Gangadhar Shastri, a noted Sanskrit scholar, founded the college in 1823, long before the first university in India was established in 1857. The institute was a government college until 1883, when a board of trustees and a Committee of Management took over administration. Since 1927, the college has been affiliated with B.R Ambedkar University. The first graduate from Uttar Pradesh and the first law graduate from India both graduated from Agra College. The Faculty of Law of Agra College is the oldest faculty offering law courses which is even older than Government Law College (GLC) in Mumbai, listed as the oldest "law college" in India by the Bar Council of India (BCI). In 1882, the college became an aided institution and affiliated itself with Calcutta University. Its affiliation later changed to the University of Allahabad in 1889 and then to Agra University, now Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar University, in 1927. Today it is a grant-in-aid institution and also runs a few self-financing courses. It was recognized by the University Grants Commission (UGC) Section 2(f) and 12(B) in 1972.
