The only nerve centre of higher education in the greater Hajo area, Suren Das College, was established on 29th August, 1979. Beginning with only a few students, it was formerly known as Hajo Anchalik College, and was housed in the premises of Hajo S.B.S.K.R. Higher Secondary School, Hajo.
The college is the outcome of the dream and untiring efforts of a group of benevolent persons and educationists of Hajo area. Not only that, the mass participation to the cause can be seen in the immense contribution made by various organizations to the college. Organisations such as the No.1 Hajo Gaon Panchayat SamabaySamiti have been making substantial contributions towards the growth and development of the college ever since its inception. The two storied science building of the college is a kind donation of this SamabaySamiti.
The family of Late Suren Das (20 Feb, 1925-18 March, 1982), a noble man of philanthropic outlook, donated the existing two-storied Arts building of the College on the land relinquished in favour of the College by the DhoparguriSatra authority. As a mark of respect to their contributions, and in order to commemorate Late Suren Das, the Governing Body of the College decided to rename the College as Suren Das College in 1985. The College came under deficit grants-in-aid system w.e.f. 01-01-1987 and has been permanently affiliated to Gauhati University w.e.f. 1994 and is registered under 2(F) and 12(B) of the UGC Act 1956 w.e.f. 1994-95.

No, there is no job opportunities in our college, it definitely does help to get some internship but i never applied to any of them. But our department specifically conducts seminars where our alumnis lectures on their work and encourages current students to join them. I find it very useful and enjoyable most of the times.Our college at present dosent provide internship facility at present. But placement drives are good. Companies come every year are recruit a lot of students. Companies such as tata, infosis habe been recorded to recruit students.The college doesn't offer professional courses but only general courses and therefore it is hard to find a very good placement immediately after completing B.Sc. or B.A. However there is a functional placement cell in the college and some companies do come for requirement. No, it doesn't provide any internship.We don't have placement opportunities but have a wider scope to explore our desired jobs. We have had politicians, singers, artists, actors, as the Alma mater of our college. Students from our college have gone for higher studies and achieved great heights in life.There is no placement cell in the college. Most of the students can get placement on the basis of their capabilities and drive.Sometimes some companies come to hire students from our college. Students do internship from different reputed institution throughout the country such as IIT Guwahati.
The placements and job opportunities is not that good of our college. The companies which come over are local companies and do not have much exposure for the freshers.
