Goalpara Law College

Goalpara College is an institution of higher learning located in western Assam, India, established on 8 August 1955 with the help and cooperation of local people, starting with 6 lecturers and 22 students under principal Wazuddin Ahmed. The college was founded to serve students on the south bank of the Brahmaputra who lacked access to higher education, as the only degree college at the time was in Dhubri. A permanent building was completed in 1959, and the college was brought under the deficit grant-in-aid system in 1962. A science faculty was introduced in 1966. Today, the college has 16 departments and a staff of 110, offering three-year degree courses in Arts and Science leading to BA and BSc degrees, along with Higher Secondary courses. It is affiliated to Gauhati University and also provides distance education through IGNOU, KKHSOU, and IDOL. The campus spans about 10 acres and includes a library with around 27,000 books, plus hostels for boys and girls with 50 seats each. The college was accredited with an A+ grade by NAAC in 2023 and has received grants from DST and DBT for science education.
