9th September :The Anglo-Oriental College of Aligarh was converted into the Aligarh Muslim University

Now the 

Aligarh Muslim University (AMU).

On 9th September 1920 the Mohammedan Anglo-Oriental College (MAO College) of Aligarh was converted into the Aligarh Muslim University (AMU). The main campus of the AMU is located in Aligarh and two functioning off campus centres are located in Malappuram and Murshidabad.

The MAO was the brainchild of Sir Syed Ahmed Khan, who after the First War of Indian Independence in 1857, thought it was imperative that Muslims train for Government jobs and prepare for further training in British Universities. Sir Syed was assisted in the creation of the MAO by Raja Jai Kishan.
