I think that we now are essentially asking for a level of notability that corresponds to being one of the leading departments in the world in the subject, and I don't think this is demonstrated. The University as a whole is not in any of the world lists discussed at College and university rankings. On this Asian list it's only no.110 & within India seems to rank #8 according to it's own web site [1]As for the subject field, On the India Today list [2] it's not one of the top 10 nor can I find it highly ranked on any other Indian list. The previous AfD was several years ago, [3] DGG ( talk ) 20:39, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge selectively to University of Calcutta#Faculties. There is historic information in the lead that should not be lost. We also have five affiliated law colleges that might each be individually notable that are worth a mention. TerriersFan (talk) 21:58, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with University of Calcutta, unless notability is established. utcursch | talk 19:31, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Merge--since DGG's searching suggests no independent notability for the topic--but it is a plausible redirect (if not an elegant one) and there is indeed history worth preserving, it seems to me. Drmies (talk) 19:51, 9 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
