About Abhayapuri College
Abhayapuri College
Abhayapuri,
Bongaigaon,
Assam, India.
Abhayapuri College, affiliated to Gauhati University,came into its existence as an Arts college on 13th August, 1955 at Abhayapuri, the administrative headquarters of the erstwhile Bijni Raj estate, presently the headquarters of North Salmara Subdivision under Bongaigaon district of Assam (India), as a result of untiring efforts of some luminaries of this locality under the able leadership of late Govinda Ch. Dev. Sarma. The Arts stream was brought under deficit system of Government of Assam in 1962. Realizing the need for science education for all-round development of the feeder arears, the science stream was introduced in 1979 and this stream was taken over by the state Government in its deficit grant- in-aid system in 1986.
The academic dimension of the college was further expanded by introducing a vocational component in 2015-16 comprising UGC sponsored B.Voc. programme in TTM, IT, RMIT and UGC’s community College scheme in BFSI. Moreover, the college has been offering PGDCA (Regular) under G.U, a number of computer courses in self-financing mode and also functioning as a contact centre of Krishna Kanta Handiqui State Open University.
So far, the college has been accredited by NAAC twice; under 1st cycle it was accredited ‘B’ Grade by NAAC in 2004. The 2nd cycle of Assessment was conducted in 2015 and the college acquired ‘B’ Grade with CGPA 2.50 w.e.f. January, 2016. At present, the preparation for 3rd cycle of assessment is under way.
It is a matter of pride and immense pleasure to mention that in a study conducted by the India Today group in 2021 to assess the quality of education in the HEIs of the country, Abhayapuri college has been ranked 152nd and 158th with respect to the quality of its education under Science and Arts stream respectively.
