Guwahati's Latasil Prepares for Rongali Bihu with Tributes to Bhupen Hazarika and Zubeen Garg

The decision marks a major milestone for the institution, widely regarded as one of the state’s leading centres for commerce education. The autonomy will enable the college to be academically independent to a greater extent, allowing it to set its own curriculum, introduce contemporary and industry-focused courses, and manage its examination and evaluation processes, while continuing its affiliation with its parent university.

Academicians and education experts have welcomed the development, noting that autonomy often serves as a catalyst for innovation and improved teaching standards. By enabling flexible academic structures, the move is expected to better align courses with evolving industry demands and student needs.

The recognition could have a ripple effect across Assam’s higher education ecosystem, encouraging other institutions to pursue similar benchmarks of quality and institutional excellence. It is also seen as a step towards strengthening the region’s academic prospects and expanding opportunities for students.

Over the years, Gauhati Commerce College has built a strong reputation for producing skilled professionals across sectors. With its newly acquired status, the institution is poised to further elevate its academic standing and contribute to positioning Assam as a growing hub for quality education in Northeast India.
