Assam to upgrade 5 colleges to universities: CM Himanta Biswas

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Saturday said that five colleges in the state will soon be upgraded to universities in line with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.

“The NEP requires stand-alone universities. We have three autonomous colleges now, J B (in Jorhat ), Lakhimpur and Nagaon colleges. These will be made into universities,” Sarma said.
