Rammohan College owns its origin to City College, Kolkata which is one of the oldest first grade colleges in West Bengal. It was founded in 1881 by a band of Brahmo leaders like Ananda Mohan Bose, Pandit Sivanath Sastri and Umesh Chandra Dutta. Rastraguru Surendranath Banerjee later joined the college as a teacher. Up to 1961 City College had a Women’s department in the morning and renamed Rammohan College.

The aim of the college according to founders is to promote the cause of education in its highest and widest sense to make education a comprehensive training of the mind, heart and the body and founded on theistic basis conductive to the good of man and glory of God.

The college is open to all female students irrespective of race, creed or caste. It has a record of brilliant results. The college is located at 102/1, Raja Rammohan Roy Sarani, Kolkata-700 009.
