The College caters to the needs of higher education in Doomdooma and its neighbourhood including the state of Arunachal Pradesh.

In the first three cycles of NAAC conducted in 2004, 2011 and 2023, the college secured B, B and B+ grades respectively.
The College was established on 1st July, 1967. On 4th July, 1967 the functioning of the College started and on the 22nd of the same month, the ceremonial start of the College took place.
Before its establishment the region was in dire need of an institution that could facilitate higher education to its aspirants. Under the pioneering leadership of Late Jogen Deka, educationist and social worker, it was resolved in a meeting held at Hoonlal High School, Doomdooma that the teachers of the respective school would donate for the beginning of the College. The staff members of the school were amongst the first ones to donate a day’s salary towards the proposed College. Many enlightened persons collected donations in the locality and also from far off places for the functioning of the College. Going door to door and performing Bihu huchari was one of the means they employed for collecting funds. As a result of such untiring efforts of people at large, finally, The Government of Assam sanctioned the Arts and Commerce streams of the College in the year 1975 and 1984 respectively.
