A brief history of the department:-
The department of physics of Kokrajhar Govt. College was established in the year 1964 under the headship of Lt. Prof. Bimal Ranjan Ghosh. At the beginning Higher Secondary Science course, subsequently B.Sc. with pass course in Physics were introduced. In the year 1994, the department opened Major course in physics for B.Sc. students under the affiliation of Gauhati University.

From the beginning the Physics department contributed significantly in educating and giving its alumnus successful careers in various field such as Teaching, Banking sector, Railways, Life insurance and many other. Apart from that, in the year 1964, there were very few degree colleges in the undivided Goalpara district of Assam which imparted quality science education. Therefore the department Physics with other two faculty members Lt. Prof. D.L. Mukherjee and Lt. Prof. P.K. Roy continue their mission.

At present physics department has seven faculty members and one bearer (one post is vacant). In the current academic session, the department has got the permission to open PG course in Physics under the affiliation of Bodoland University. This very fact reiterates the quality and success story of the department.
