Alipurduar University is a public university in Alipurduar, West Bengal, India. It was established as an affiliating university by an act of the West Bengal government notified in 2018. In 1947, India gained independence but with a partition on the religious line.

This partition led to the migration of a huge number of displaced people to the Dooars areas. Higher education for the children of these uprooted poverty-stricken people was of utmost necessity to change their fortune. In 1956 under the Refugee Rehabilitation and Development Programme of the Union Government, a local committee led by Late N.

K. Mukherjee moved to the government for an establishment of undergraduate degree College at the Alipurduar town. B.

Panth (union home minister of that time) also urged the Chief Minister of West Bengal Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy for setting up a sponsored Degree College at Alipurduar. Finally, this institution was formally established in 1957 as an affiliating college of the University of Calcutta.
