Dear Students,
Welcome to Nalbari College, a premier institution for higher education in the state. Established through the
untiring efforts of Late T. N. Goswami, Late Prabhat Ch. Goswami, Late Haricharan Pathak, Late Harekrishna
Goswami and others this College has been engaged in the dissemination of knowledge and imparting vari-
ous skills to the students since 1945. Over the last seven decades it has grown with addition of streams,
subjects, courses and tried its best to meet the needs of the society and the region in the sphere of educa-
tion. Simultaneously, efforts have been made to turn the education of the students holistic by giving them
an opportunity to hone and showcase their talents in the spheres of literature, culture and sports. There are
different centres and cells to look after the students’ requirements beyond their syllabus oriented academic
pursuits, like career planning, performing arts, music, visual arts, debating skill, environmental awareness
and regeneration etc. Now the College has 18 departments in arts and science imparting education from
Higher Secondary to Post Graduate levels. At this moment, I express my gratitude to all whose contributions
have brought the College to this point, and hope to build upon it with the contributions and cooperation of
all the stakeholders. With these words I welcome you once again on behalf of the College community, in the
hope that your years as a student will enrich you and this institution.

Through The Lens of Time….Nalbari College is one of the premier colleges of Assam. Established way back in pre-independent era (in 4th July, 1945), this college has taken a pioneering role in shaping and promoting higher education in the entire lower Brahmaputra valley. In the beginning, the college was affiliated to the Calcutta University, but in 1948, when Gauhati University was established, it came under the academic jurisdiction of the latter. The col-lege received the UGC recognition under Section 2(f) in 1962. Beginning with a modest number of only 28 students, today it has a sizable strength of about 4420 students (including Higher Secondary programme). Spreading over 16 acres of land, the college has a built up area of approximately 8 acres.Nalbari College is a multi-streamed co-educational institution imparting education right from Higher Sec-ondary to PG level. At present it offers UG programmes for 09 Humanities & Social Science departments and 07 Science departments and PG programme for Assamese. Being aware of the issue of employability of its pass outs, the college offered two UGC sponsored job-oriented programmes like Travel and Tourism Guidance and Disaster Management. Further, since 2013, the College with approval from the University, has introduced two more professional courses i.e. Bachelor of Physical Education (B.P.E) and Bachelor of Sci-ence in Information Technology (B.Sc. IT) on regular basis. Nalbari College is probably the first college to start B.P.E in entire Assam. From the last session the college has started two new self financing courses i.e. Bachelor of Computer Application (BCA) and Post Graduate Diploma in Computer Application (PGDCA) and from the current session the college has decided to introduce PG programme for English. In order to facilitate those students who cannot pursue regular education the college offers distance learning mode through its affiliating centres of Institute of Distance and Open Learning (IDOL), Krishna Kanta Hand-ique State Open University (KKHSOU) and Assam State Open School (ASOS). The issue of employability is in the prime agenda of the college. Therefore, in coming years the college is prospecting to introduce more and more such programmes which would provide employment opportunity to the students.
Our Strengths:The experience collected from its long standing existence is the main inventory of strength of the college. The tradition of experienced teaching-learning is being successfully translated into positive outcome. This is clearly reflected in the brilliant results of the college for last several years. The students of this college have clinched the Best Graduate positions (Topper of a faculty in University Final Examination) in UG level for several times (once for two consecutive years in Sanskrit). Even the lone PG department of Assamese has proudly produced a University Topper from the department.
Assessment and Accreditation by NAAC:In January, 2004, the Peer Team of National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC), Bangalore, con-sisted of renowned educationists of the country visited the college. On the basis of the assessment made by this learned group of scholars, NAAC accorded B+ grade to Nalbari College. The process of Re-Accreditation by NAAC has already been started and preparations are going on for submission of Self Study Report of the College
