History

Sir Syed founded the Muhammadan Anglo-Oriental College on January 7, 1877 in Aligarh and patterned the college after Oxford and Cambridge universities. It was one of the first purely residential educational institutions set up either by the government or the public in India.  By 1920 the college was transformed into the Aligarh Muslim University.
