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 college 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 Secondary to PG level. At present it offers UG programmes for 09 Humanities & Social Science departments and 07 Science departments and PG programme for Assamese and English. 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.

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 various 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 education. 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.
With regards
(Dr. Kamal Nayan Patowary)
