We, in 2020 having completed 48 years – Tinsukia Commerce College – its constituents, are a family of some stakeholders – students at Higher Secondary, Undergraduate and Post Graduate levels in commerce and allied areas, some members, faculty and administrative, staff, parents and guardians and GB Members.
A College of Commerce in Tinsukia was thought of, in the year 1971 by some members of the Governing Body of Tinsukia College. An Ad-hoc Committee was constituted in 1972 with Late J. N. Bhuyan, President and Late B. K.Saraswat as Secretary. The Committee decided to start the college under the name of Tinsukia Commerce College from the session 1972. Late Krishna Pada Dutta Chowdhury took the charge of the college as Honorary Principal. Perhaps he considered it prudent to accept the post with the idea of spreading and meeting the aspiration of students for commerce education in this remote corner of the state when there was no commerce college in its vicinity of the then Tinsukia Sub-division.
The management of Senairam H.S School was kind enough to allow us to hold classes in its building. Thus Tinsukia Commerce College was established on 21st August 1972 in Senairam H.S School with no fund and building.
In 1977, the Govt. of Assam was pleased to allot 35 bighas of land, which is now under the possession of the college. A part of the present buildings was constructed in 1978 at a cost of Rs. 1,10,000/- all met from the college fund, collected from the students and without going for any help or donation from any source. The college was shifted to its own building from Senairam H.S. School in 1978. In this way, it had to pass through strain and stress for about 15 years. On 01.02.1986, the college was taken over by the Govt.of Assam under Deficit Grant-in-Aid and the financial hurdles were overcome to a considerable extent. Now, w.e.f. December’05 it has become a provincialised college under the Govt. of Assam.
Considering the demand of the society and neighbouring students we considered it prudent to introduce BA from the session 2011-12 under Dibrugarh University.
Apart from B.Com, BA of Dibrugarh University, we have been offering MBA, MA, M.Sc. (Math), BCA, BA, B.Com. and various degree, PG degree, diploma and certificate courses under KKHSOU, DDE-DU and ASOS for the last few years.
The college facilitates the students with – a Football cum Cricket Ground, pure drinking water, canteen, generator facility, cycle stand, library with reading and internet facility, computer education, computer lab., health building instruments, day care, community centre, equal opportunity centre, Boys’ and Girls’ common room, sports goods with gym facilities, educative programmes and with a pollution free campus.
The college had undergone 2nd cycle of NAAC assessment on 28th and 29th March, 2017. The Peer team assessed all the academic and non-academic aspects of the college and finally the college was accredited Grade ‘B’
