Government Kolasib College

The Committee pursued the matter of establishment of a College. Finances were collected by voluntary donations from the public and well wishers. The first staffs of Kolasib College were appointed on 28th October 1977. The College started with Pre-University Classes, with 131 students, at Kolasib High School and the first batch of candidates was sent to the Pre-University Course examinations under North-Eastern Hill University (N.E.H.U.) in 1979. The College opened Degree classes in 1981, and the first batch of students was sent to the Degree examinations in 1983. Since the College had no building of its own, it had to often move to different locations. In 1980, the classes were shifted from Kolasib High School to Government Middle School. Only in 1983 did the College finally move to its present location, after the first building was constructed at the cost of Rs. 1,05,000/- (Rupees One lakh five thousand only). The College was now on the road to progress. After affiliation to N.E.H.U. up to Pre-University level in 1979, the College was given recognition by the State Government. Affiliation by the University upto Degree level was accorded to the College in 1982. In 1985, Kolasib College was granted deficit status. Pre-University Science classes were started at the College in 1987, and were upgraded to Degree level in 1992, for which affiliation to the University was gained in 1994.
