KOHIMA COLLEGE
Kohima
INTRODUCTION:
Kohima College was established on the 9th August 1967. Till then, there was no college in Kohima offering studies in the branch of Humanities. Feeling the urgent need of such a college to meet the aspirations of the upcoming youth, in particular the local youths to pursue higher education at a cheap cost and within their own hometown, four large hearted persons of Kohima Village, Dr. Neilhouzü Kire, Dr. Satuo Sekhose, Mr. Vibeilie Solo and Mr. Vilalhoulie Belho rose to the occasion and lit the torch of Kohima College, the first private college in the capital city of Nagaland.
The College is affiliated to the Nagaland University for the three year Graduate Degree Course in Arts Stream only and offers General and Honours courses in BA. The Admission policy of the College is transparent and regarding students coming from economically- weaker sections of the society, it has been doing yeoman service giving admission largely to students from disadvantaged communities regardless of race, tribe or social standing. Despite the fact that the majority of the students hail from families with low academic and poor financial backgrounds, their performance at the university examination is good and some have bagged ranks in certain subjects.
Ever since its humble origins the college has made tremendous strides. Over the years it has produced 8000 graduates and over 1200 Honours graduates. Today the College can boast of being the biggest college in the state catering to more than 1500 students per academic session.
