Welcome to Namrup College, one of the premier institutions of higher education in the eastern most part of Assam. The college was established in 1973 to cater to the needs of higher education of the entire industrial township as well the neighboring tea gardens and village. The college endeavors to create congenial educational environment and encourages the students for quality improvement, handwork, social awareness and protection of environment.

Namrup, which grew up as an industrial township in the middle of the twentieth century has historical importance too. This is he second place, in which the legendary Ahom king Syu-Ka-Pha landed when he entered the Brahmaputra Valley in 1228 A.D. after crossing the Patkai Mountain Ranges. The word Namrup comes from the Tai word "Nam-ruk" ('Nam=Water, Ruk =six') meaning a place surrounded by six streams. The streams are Kakojan, Labankulajan, Naharpungjan, Abhayapurjan, Hapjan and Disang. This was the place where political conspirators were deported by the Ahom kings.

The college is located near the industrial township of Namrup which has four industrial establishments, viz. Brahmaputra Valley Fertilizer Corporation Limited, Assam Petrochemicals Ltd, Namrup Thermal Power Station and the Jeypore Colliery. This township is surrounded by a large number of tea gardens and villages. The college is situated at a distance of seventy kilometers from Dibrugarh Airport, three kilometers from Namrup Railway Station and two and half kilometers from the public and ASTC Bus Station.

The College was started with the faculties of Arts and Science. It was affiliated to Dibrugarh University in September 1979. The Arts stream came under Deficit Grants-in-aid system in 1986; and the science stream came under the same in 1992. After a prolonged struggle, it qualified itself for inclusion under section 2(f) of the UGC Act, 1956 on 14th Feb, 1997 and section 12(B) of the same Act on 4th April, 2000.

The college has evolved to a full fledged institution with facilities for major in almost all the subjects. It has made a mark in its history when it got itself duly assessed and accredited by NAAC in January 2004.

In keeping with the educational scenario of the times and as proposed by UGC, it has ventured to open few short term certificate courses like Computer Application, Management of Repairing of Electronics and Electrical Appliances, Beauty Culture and Saloon Management, Mushroom Cultivation, Horticulture, Yoga, Fishery Management etc. so that students will be able to equip themselves with add-on-degree along with conventional degree and thereby achieve self-sufficiency to meet the present day challenges of employment.
