              Kolkata: The Aligarh 
              Muslim University (AMU) Sunday started classes from its 
              Murshidabad campus in West Bengal with the first set of students 
              for two-year MBA and five-year law programmes. 
               
              "From today (Sunday) classes for the two-year MBA programme and 
              the five-year B.A.(LLB) programmes have started," said P.K. Abdul 
              Aziz, the AMU vice chancellor. 
               
              "Right now the classes are going on in a rented two-storied 
              building as the campus is not yet ready," said Aziz. 
               
              Union Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee has allotted Rs.50 crore 
              for the Murshidabad campus in the union budget for 2011-12. 
               
              West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee and Mukherjee 
              last year laid the foundation stone of the campus. Mukherjee is 
              the Lok Sabha MP from Jangipur constituency which is part of 
              Murshidabad district.
