As top of his class at Presidency College in Calcutta he obtained his BA in Philosophy before moving on to his next education steps. His father arranged English training in 1919 so Subhas Chandra Bose could take the Civil Service Examination there and earn top marks in English while ranking fourth.
Resigning from Civil Services
After resigning from Civil Services in 1921 Netaji went back to India to support the independence movement. His disputes with British officials made him well-known as an outspoken freedom leader.

Under leadership of Chittaranjan Das the Congress party Netaji received his training. In 1922 Das and Motilal Nehru set up the Swaraj Party. During 1923 Netaji won leadership roles through his election as All India Youth Congress President and took office with Bengal State Congress Secretarial responsibilities. He took charge as mayor of Calcutta during a six-month period in 1930.His Travel and International Co-operations
