The Computer Centre was established with the objective of creating Computer awareness among the teachers, research scholars and employees of the University. It started Computer education by introducing a "Six-months Certificate Course on Computer Programming". It also trained the employees of various banks including State Bank of India, Dibrugarh university Branch and helped them in computerization. In 2004, it was upgraded to the Centre for Computer Studies (CCS) and a "Post-Graduate Diploma in Computer Application (PGDCA)" course was started. BCA was introduced in July, 2004 and MCA and BSc (IT) were introduced in January and July, 2007, respectively.
