The College is focused on bringing higher education to those sections of society that have been marginalised because of historical, geographic and social reasons. Given this context, the college is proud to have far more women students than men (the ratio was 60:40 this year). More than 46 per cent of the students come from SC, ST, OBC communities. Many of them are first generation college goers. The majority of the students come from the nearby tea gardens, including closed ones, and belong to economically disadvantaged sections. The college administration tries to ensure that all these students get government benefits to continue their education. The effort has resulted in more than 50 per cent of the students this year getting some form of scholarship under different government schemes. The student community is multi-cultural and multi-lingual. Accordingly, the college has four language departments, Bengali, English, Hindi and Nepali. The teachers of the college often impart lessons in different mediums and the students are allowed to write their internal tests and university examinations in three languages, Bengali, English and Nepali. The thrust of the college will be towards minimising dropouts and ensuring greater inclusiveness in higher education.
