Dhemaji City College, formerly known as Dhemaji Girls’ College, is today a premier higher education institution situated in Dhemaji District. The college was established in 1986 and, since its inception, has sincerely rendered service in imparting higher education at the UG level while devotedly working for the all-round development of students and contributing to community service, as expected of a higher education institution.
