It was the only technical education center in the then Assam and undivided Bengal. Its journey began with a 4-year Higher Subordinate Course. At the end of the said course, the successful students were appointed as invigilators. Later the higher subordinate course was changed to Licentiate Engineering by converting it to three years.
