The Night College was needed  for the students those who were working in day time and willing for higher education .Before 1989, such kind of facility was not available in Solapur. Maratha Samaj Seva Mandal realized this need and started Chhatrapati Shivaji Night College of Arts & Commerce, Solapur  in 1989.

The first batch of this college came out in 1991. At the same time students were demanding for B.A. Special in English .So B.A. English Department was started in 1991-1992.

There are 11 talukas in Solapur District. Almost each taluka has a Senior College. However Barshi, Pandharpur, and Solapur City offered Specialization in English  at B.A. Part III level. . Hence a large number of students were deprived of this specialization. All these colleges were day colleges It was a historical decision because ours is the only Night College in the whole of district. It opened a new path for the students of English Department. It was a golden opportunity for all students.

 So students had to go Shivaji University, Kolhapur which was 250 Kms away from Solapur. It was not possible to all the students. So many students remained deprived of this education.

For that our college was continuously taking efforts to start these classes. In 2004, the independent University for Solapur District was started. At the same time our college gone through NAAC Accreditation, in that it was recommended to start PG in English. In the beginning it was only one centre in the university.
