| ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY, ALIGARH | |
| Aligarh Muslim University was established during 1920. This great centre of learning owes its origin and establishment to the great scholar, reformer and visionary known as Sir Syed Ahmad Khan, who established a school in 1875 which soon grew into the Mohammadan Anglo Oriental College in 1877. The M.A.O. College acted as a precursor of the University. There are now ten faculties in the University comprising 69 departments encompassing all the modern disciplines. There are thirteen institutes/centres/units including the Institute of Biotechnology and many of which do not come under any faculty and conduct inter-departmental and inter-faculty teaching and research programmes of multidisciplinary nature. |  |
