The department of Economics was started from the very day the college started functioning i.e. from 7th Sept., 1060. In fact, the dream of acquiring knowledge of economics at that time came into reality when a subject viz. civic-a subject which combines Economics and Political Science was started in Intermediate classes. Later on, the subject was bifurcated in to Economics and Political Science.

The department was started with Khagendra Prasad Deka as the first lecturer of the department. Later on, Satish Kumar Sarmah joined the department in 1964. The department had been offering instructions in BA general course till 1978 when Premananda Borah joined the department and Major course was started. At present students of both science and arts faculties can pursue TDC Major and General courses in Economics.
