In 1954, Professor J. C. Ghosh, the then Vice-Chancellor of Calcutta University, surveyed the available higher educational facilities in North 24 Parganas. The survey revealed that facilities were inadequate for the huge influx of refugees in the area. Professor Ghosh stressed the immediate necessity of setting up at least six colleges for male and female students in the suburbs of Kolkata in order to cope with the growing demand for college education in both humanities and sciences. He further suggested that these six colleges should be established and financed by the Central Relief and Rehabilitation Ministry, Government of India. Soon after, Dr. B. C. Roy, the then Chief Minister of West Bengal, took up the proposal with the Government of India, which was accepted by the Central Relief and Rehabilitation Ministry. The Ministry agreed to set up six colleges in and around Kolkata and bear the financial commitments as well.

The College was thus established in Bon-Hooghly in the year 1956 as one of the colleges under this scheme with the aim of providing higher education, and was named after BrahmanandraKesab Chandra Sen, the great socio-religious reformer of the country, during Renaissance. Initially the college was housed at SagarDutta Free High School, Kamarhati and later moved to its own present premises in 1957. This college, a UGC registered college (under 2f and 12B) is one of the premier institutes in North 24 parganas. Initially affiliated to the University of Calcutta, the college has now been affiliated to West Bengal State University, Barasat from the session 2008-2009.
