Sri T. Mukhopadhyay, designer of the logo of Gauhati University

The first public demand was made at the annual session of the Assam Association held at Sivasagar in 1917. In 1940, the Government appointed S. K. Bhuyan as Special Officer with the task of collecting relevant information on the selection of site and related matters.[7] The university was established by an act of the State Legislature: the Gauhati University Act 1947 (Assam Act, XVI of 1947) of the government of Assam in 1948. The first court meeting of the university was held on 26 January 1948, which is considered the foundation day, at the old Sudmerson Hall of Cotton College, Guwahati.[8]

Gauhati University started functioning as an affiliating, teaching and residential university in a few temporary buildings in Guwahati, with K.K Handique as the first vice-chancellor, Phanidhar Dutta, Sailandhar Rajkhowa and Sarat Kumar Dutta were selected as the registrar, treasurer and secretary of university classes, respectively. The emblem of the university, selected from among many submitted, was designed by Tripureswar Mukhopadhyay, a textile designer of Ahmedabad. Two Sanskrit words inscribed on it – Vidyaya Sadhayeta (meaning achievement through learning) – indicate the motto of the university.[6] It had 17 affiliated colleges and eight Post Graduate Departments on its establishment.[7] The university which started functioning from the city center was shifted to the present campus in 1955–56.

## Campus

[edit]

The university is in Jalukbari in the Guwahati city area. The campus has a hillock on the southern side and the Brahmaputra river flows on the northern side. The campus area has been developed into a small township, now known as 'Gopinath Bardoloi Nagar'. It has about 6000 population including 3700 students residing in the hostels.[9]

Apart from the residential quarters of teachers, officers and employees, there are 22 halls of residence for students. The necessary civic amenities such as health service, water supply, street lighting, internal roads, guest house, post and telegraph office, a branch of the State Bank of India, United Bank Of India, canteens, a market, parks, playgrounds, auditorium, indoor stadium, etc. are on campus.[10]

The university is 10 km from the Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport on National Highway No. 37; 5 km from Kamakhya Railway Station; and 10 km from Guwahati Railway Station as well as from the bus stop near the Cachari (D.C. court) at the heart of Guwahati City. The capital complex of Assam at Dispur is 22 km from the university. The university is easily accessible from the Guwahati city; Guwahati has road, rail and air links from all parts of the country. A large number of bus services from parts of Assam have their station at Adabari bus stand which is 2 km from the campus.[11]

To automate their internal processes, Gauhati University has chosen Kalingasoft's flagship Education ERP solution, Greycells. This implementation has resulted in the complete automation of the university's academic, administrative and financial processes.

### Library and regional center

[edit]

Krishna Kanta Handique Library

The North Eastern Regional Centre (NERC) of the Indian Council of Historical Research (ICHR) is in the Gauhati University Central Library Extension Building. Along with Bangalore ICHR Regional Centre, this is the only regional centre in GU so far.

The university's Krishna Kanta Handique Library is a designated 'Manuscript Conservation Centre' (MCC) under the National Mission for Manuscripts established in 2003.[12]

The library is the largest in Assam, holding about 850,000 books, magazines, and journals in its collection. It also hosts about 5,000 valuable priceless manuscripts, some more than 300 years old.[13]

## Controversy

[edit]

On 30 June 2024, the Assam Crime Investigation Department (CID) and local police arrested nine individuals, including three government officials, in connection with a mark sheet scam at Gauhati University. The scheme involved manipulating students' marks for a fee, with claims that the rates reached ₹16,000 for individual papers and up to ₹100,000 for all papers in a semester.[14]

Concerns were raised by the Postgraduate Students’ Union, prompting Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma to call for an investigation. The CID, assisted by university authorities, conducted raids in multiple locations, leading to the arrests of individuals identified as Azizul Haque, Krishan Krishnamurti, Ismail Hussain, Alomgir Khan, Moinul Haque, Hamezuddin, Abul Baser, Aminul Islam, and Shivtosh Mahato.[15]

The vice-chancellor of Gauhati University, Pratap Jyoti Handique, indicated that the mastermind behind the operation is an employee of the Integrated University Management System (IUMS). The investigation, initially focused on Barpeta, revealed further complexities, leading to ongoing inquiries and the possibility of additional arrests.[16]

On 30 September 2024, Gauhati University temporarily closed two boys’ hostels—RCC-1 and RCC-2—following a violent clash between students on 27 September, a day after the postgraduate elections.[17] The incident resulted in injuries to both students and security personnel, with some requiring intensive medical care.[18]

According to a notice issued by the university, the situation escalated due to the involvement of outsiders, leading to serious injuries. As a result, the administration ordered the immediate closure of the two hostels. Alternative accommodation arrangements were made for the residents of RCC-1 and RCC-2 in other hostels within the university campus.[19] The students were given a 48-hour window, ending at 4 pm on 2 October, to relocate, with the university providing transportation facilities to facilitate the move.[20]

The district administration and local law enforcement were called upon to maintain peace and security on the campus. The university, in its statement, emphasized its commitment to ensuring the safety of its students and preventing further incidents.[21] Wardens from other hostels were instructed to assist in the relocation process and ensure that mess facilities were available for the displaced students. The relocation was required to be completed by 2 October, and a final list of relocated boarders was to be submitted by 5 October.[22]

## Disciplines

[edit]

Gauhati University offers a diverse range of postgraduate programs, including 23 courses in Master of Arts (MA), 21 courses in Master of Science (MSc), 5 courses in Master of Technology (MTech), 3 courses in Master of Medical Laboratory Science as well as programs in Master of Commerce (MCom), Master of Library and Information Science (MLISc), Master of Laws (LLM), MSc in Nursing, and Master of Tourism and Management (MTM).[23]

### Admission Process

[edit]

The Gauhati University Post Graduate Entrance Test (GUPGET) is a mandatory examination for students seeking admission to various postgraduate disciplines. The test consists of 100 multiple-choice questions (MCQs), each carrying 1 mark, leading to a total of 100 marks. The exam includes a negative marking scheme, where 0.25 marks are deducted for each incorrect answer. The examination duration is 2 hours. For admission into the various postgraduate programs, including MA, MSc, MCom, and others, 70% of all seats are reserved for graduates of Gauhati University, while the remaining 30% are open to graduates from other universities. At the end of the exam, invigilators collect both the answer sheets and the question papers from the candidates to ensure the security and confidentiality of the exam content, thereby keeping the questions undisclosed for future.[24]

For students belonging to the General Category (Unreserved category), a minimum score of 50 marks is required to secure a seat in their chosen discipline.[25] The registration fee for the GUPGET is Rs 1000 per subject.[26]

### Off-Campus Courses

[edit]

#### Admission Procedure for PG Courses in Affiliated Colleges under Gauhati University

[edit]

To gain admission into the Post Graduate (PG) courses offered by affiliated colleges under Gauhati University, students are required to take the Gauhati University Post Graduate Entrance Test (GUPGET) for the relevant year. This entrance examination is mandatory for students aspiring to enroll in PG programs at these affiliated colleges. The PG courses available in these institutions are categorized as self-financing, allowing colleges to establish their own fee structures. As a result, tuition fees for these programs are typically double those of Gauhati University's own PG courses. Additionally, the fees paid at the time of admission for the first semester are non-refundable. Prospective students are advised to consider this policy carefully before finalizing their admission.[36] A total of 46 affiliated colleges offer more than 2,500 seats across various disciplines. These colleges provide programs in 11 subjects within the Humanities, 8 subjects in the Science stream, as well as courses in Commerce. The numbers in parentheses indicate the seat availability for each subject at the respective college or institute.[37]
