Thirty students were enrolled in the first batch for a four-year degree programme leading to B.Sc. (Agri) degree. The first batch passed out in 1952. Rev. B. M. Pugh was the first Principal of the college. Dr. M. C. Das took over as the Principal in 1949 and served the institution for long 17 years. He was the foster father of the college and led from the front and gained momentum to become a full-fledged Agricultural College. During the first five years of its existence, the College was affiliated to the Gauhati University. Later on, the affiliation of the college was shifted to Dibrugarh University.
