COTTON COLLEGE
PROSPECTUS
2016-2017
Blank
From the Principal
During hundred and sixteen years of its existence, Cotton College has
established itself as one of the premier institutions of the country. The college has
made pioneering contributions in promoting higher education especially in the northeastern region. Over the years, Cotton College has emerged as a spirit of learning that
blends tradition with modernity, humanism with liberalism and nation building with
professionalism. Our college is a model institution of harmony, friendship and
integration.
Academic pursuits and passion for sports and culture are equally valued at
Cotton College. The presence of highly qualified teachers, a vast and well stocked
library, well equipped up to date laboratories, an indoor stadium with gymnasium,
activity hubs, counseling centre, sprawling playground and a disciplined environment
mark our efforts towards excellence. Our endeavour is to make our students inquisitive,
confident and competitive. We help them identify their aptitudes, hone their talents
and focus on their career choices. While guiding them for further studies and research,
we also prepare them for the job market. We intend to make our students nurture a
global outlook throughout their lives. At the same time, we strive to infuse a value
system among the students, which combines ethics and personal integrity in each of
their actions.
Cotton College, the only constituent College of Cotton College State University
(CCSU) is ever prepared to adopt itself to the changing global scenario. Keeping that
in view, we have taken an initiative to introduce new subjects of importance in the
world of today. As a first step, we have introduced Sociology, Psychology, Environmental
Science and Mass Communication as Elective subjects from this session itself under
the aegis of CCSU. I invite you all to explore the possibilities that Cotton College has to
offer and embark on a remarkable journey with us.
I take this opportunity to convey my immense pleasure at getting the privilege
and responsibility of serving this premier educational institution. During my tenure as
the Principal of this college, I have tried and shall continue to offer selfless contributions
to the best of my abilities, for the all round growth and development of this institution.
I strongly believe that our sound infrastructure, highly qualified and dedicated
members of the faculty and a group of young, motivated and dynamic students, coupled
with a vibrant ambience of the college campus will make Cotton College as one of the
best institutions at the global level in the times to come.

Cotton College Prospectus  7
With a heritage that goes back to more than a hundred years, Cotton College,
the premier seat of higher learning in Northeast India, unequivocally occupies the
pride of place among the institutions of its kind in the North-Eastern part of the
country. Having contributed significantly to the academic and cultural life of the region
the institution has not only withstood the test of time but has also carved a niche for
itself in the sphere of higher education in the country. Contemporaneous with
Murarichand College of Sylhet (now in Bangladesh) of the undivided India under the
British rule, Cotton College came into existence on 27th May, 1901 through the
untiring efforts of such magnanimous and illustrious sons of the soil like Late Manick
Chandra Barooah, Rai Bahadur Bhuban Ram Das and Raja Prabhat Chandra Barua,
backed by the unstinted support of the intelligentsia of the region of that time. However,
had it not been for the unreserved support and concern of the then Chief Commissioner
of the then Assam Province from 1896 to 1902, Sir Henry John Stedman Cotton,
K.C.S.I., the institution would not have perhaps seen the light of day. While the time
came, therefore, to express their sense of gratitude to the foremost popular ruler of
the province, the people of ‘Gauhati’ decided to name the institution itself after him.
The first admission took place on 17th June, 1901 with 37 students in the first
year F.A. Class and 2 students in the second year of the same course. The faculty was
consisted of only five members including Prof. Frederick William Südmersen (1871 –
1953), the first Principal of the college from 1901 to 1926. The other four faculty
members were Prof. Chunilal De, Prof. Indu Bhusan Brahmachary, Prof. Paresh Nath
Lahiri and Prof. Maulvi Abu Nasr Muhammad Oheed. Classes during the initial years
of the establishment of the College were held in the building which presently houses
Chemistry Department of the College. However, no girl student was admitted to the
course. It was only in 1929 that two girl students were admitted to the first year
Intermediate (Science) class of the College for the first time thus marking the beginning
of co-education in the history of higher learning in this part of the country.
The College was first affiliated to Calcutta University, Kolkata. It was under this
university itself that the institution developed into a full-fledged Degree College and
barring Persian, secured affiliation for the Honours course too in all the subjects
taught then. However, with the establishment of Gauhati University in 1948, it became
one of its original constituent colleges. Although Post-Graduate classes in certain
subjects like English, Economics and Botany were introduced in the College at different
points of time under Calcutta University itself, such classes had to be finally
discontinued as part of economy drive and also because of the establishment of
Gauhati University. It was only in 1969 that the Assam State Government decided to
introduce PG classes in Physics in the College on a permanent affiliation basis.
Subsequently, the benefit of PG classes was extended to other subjects as well and
finally on 17th October, 1992, the then Hon’ble President of India, Late Dr Shanker
Dayal Sharma, at a glittering function held in the premises of the College formally declared Cotton College as a PostGraduate institution. Cotton College has become the Constituent College of Cotton College State University (CCSU)
w.e.f. September, 2011 through the Cotton College State University Act, 2011. In 2011, Cotton College was reaccredited
Grade ‘A’ by the National Assessment & Accreditation Council (NAAC) with CGPA 3.39 and the University Grants
Commission (UGC) recognized it as a ‘College with Potential for Excellence (CPE)’ in 2005. The CPE status has been
revalidated in 2010 and again in 2015. The College is also recognized by UGC as a ‘Special Heritage College’, under the
scheme ‘Special Heritage Status to Colleges’ in 2015.
The present day College has an infrastructure built on a sprawling campus covering an area of about 34 acres in
Panbazar locality and about 6.4 acres in Rupnagar locality (second campus) of the city of Guwahati. The facilities include
a modern library well stocked with books, journals as well as rare manuscripts and with UGC INFLIBNET-NLIST e-journal
browsing facility; well equipped laboratories in different academic departments; a Central Instrumentation Centre; a full
fledged Department of Computer Science & IT; a well equipped Centre for Mass Communication & Journalism (named
as Dr Bhupen Hazarika Centre for Mass Communication & Journalism), a vibrant Placement Cell, a dynamic
Entrepreneurship Development Cell (EDC), a Foreign Language Programme Unit and a state of the art Bioinformatics
Infrastructure Facility (BIF) Center. In addition to these facilities, the College also has a hospital, a Career & Counseling
Cell, a Peace Station, a Guest House, separate hostels for girls and boys, quarters for faculty and office staff, an Indoor
Stadium with a modern gymnasium, a canteen, a coffee house and a State Bank of India ATM. All the Academic
Departments, Centers and the College office are connected with round the clock internet connectivity. In the year 2003,
an ‘Internal Quality Assurance Cell’ was established to look after the internal quality of the institution for continuous
assessment of academic excellence.
A ‘Board of Governors’ constituted by the Government of Assam sits from time to time to decide on the policy
matters relating to the academic and administrative activities of the College. Moreover, the Council of the Heads of the
Departments and the Staff Council are two empowered decision making bodies of the College.
The College Emblem
The official emblem of Cotton College was unveiled in the year 1933. The emblem was designed by Late
Mohendra Nath Deka Phukan, an ex-Cottonian. This emblem is just like a shield meaning the symbol of protection of
Mohendra Nath
Deka Phukan
Assam. The shield comprises of two colours - orange signifying the sense of Tyaga wherein lies the
sense of renunciation and green symbolizing peace. The oval-shaped arc with eight corners reminds
us of the glory of Ahom kingdom. The blue colour is used to mean the clear and vast sky that
teaches us to widen our hearts embracing all. The hills in the emblem remind us of the Asomiya
people belonging to the plains and hills of Assam. The rising sun behind the hills symbolizes hope
and light. The sun also signifies that it is the dispeller of darkness. The lamp burning in the middle
is used to indicate the light of knowledge. The “Sarai” immediately below the lamp tells us of the
glory of ancient Assam. The stars indicate the path of progress beyond limitation.
The College Emblem gives us all that Assam has had and as such it makes us understand
that students in their alma mater must be invigourated with the meaningful ideas that can make
us great in the truest sense.
The motto
The motto of the college ‘ ¥Âý×žæðÙ ßðhÃ Ø×÷ ’ (Apramattena Veddhavyam), taken from the
Mundaka Upanisad signifies that knowledge in any field, must be attained with an unfaltering aim. In attaining knowledge
in proper perspective, without being perturbed by various anxieties-mundane or spiritual, one must be absorbed with
one’s goal in view. Remaining indifferent to obstacles or hurdles that may come along the way, one must pursue
knowledge with concentration and perseverance.
It is the avowed aim of the institution, therefore, to prepare the youth to remain resolutely fixed to their goal and
the ever changing values and perspectives of life so as to enable them to identify themselves as conscious, integrated
and wholesome human beings capable of meeting the challenges and opportunities of life in the noblest and most
disciplined way.
"Assam is the only province which has not got a college. Indeed it
does not have a high institution worth the name. A college at Gauhati with
a European Principal will be appreciated by the students than similar
private institution to which they generally resort.”
Excerpts from Manick Chandra Barooah's 'Representation' to the
Government submitted on 28th March, 1899, in which he argued
strongly for establishment of Cotton College and this ultimately
paved the way for establishment of Cotton College in 1901.
"To the encouragement of education I devoted the best of my
energies. I regard it as a great honour that my name should be associated
with a first-class college which I inaugurated at Gowhatty. It had made a
good start, even in my time; it has thriven since, and long may it flourish !"
Sir Henry John Stedman Cotton, K.C.S.I.,
Chief Commissioner of Assam (1896-1902) in 'Indian and
Home Memories' (published by T.Fisher Unwin, London, 1911,
page 245)
"The principles which guided its (Cotton College) past must guide
its future. Avoiding all narrowness of thought or class or creed, with charity
towards all, let students and staffs remember that education is only of
value as it leads to greater service to mankind, that narrowly pursued it
produces but Dead Sea fruit of disappointment and embitterment."
Prof. Frederick William Südmersen, I.E.S.,
the founder Principal of Cotton College (1901 - 1926).
Prof. Südmersen sent the message on 26th May, 1951 from Word
wick Farm, Nutley, Sussex for the Golden Jubilee Commemoration
Volume, published in 1951-52.

Cotton College introduced Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) as per the instruction of the Cotton College
State University (CCSU).
Choice-Based Credit System and Continuous Assessment and Grading Pattern
Cotton College State University (CCSU) has laid the road map for a Choice-Based Credit System (CBCS) and
Continuous Assessment and Grading Pattern (CAGP) in a semester-based system for Cotton College and the
University. These are important components of reform in higher education in India, and are practiced widely in
our academic institutions. The CBCS and CAGP for CCSU have been recommended by the Academic Council
and approved by the Executive Council of CCSU. In a choice-based system, students are given opportunities to
pursue courses of interest across disciplines and faculties, in addition to their major subject of interest. While
choices that are offered are usually determined by logistic requirements and available resources, these will
increase with time as our infrastructure and capacities improve. The choices currently being offered at Cotton
College are listed in this prospectus. The number of credits in a course is closely related to the number of
teaching-learning hours; and the L-T-P (Lectures-Tutorials-Practicals) structure encourages students towards
self-learning or learner-centric approaches. The students have more opportunities to develop and nurture their
creative abilities, and be exposed to the methodologies of academic work. The credit system, in principle, also
enables the portability of what a student has learnt from one institution to another. Learning is a continuous
process. Frequent assessments aid this process and also reduce the emphasis on an end-semester examination,
thereby reducing the stress on both students and teachers. In the present scheme 20 per cent of the evaluation
will be in the first half of the semester, 20 per cent in the second half, and the remaining 60 per cent of the
evaluation will be based on the end-semester examination. This is essentially similar to what is being practiced
now. Grades (e.g. Ex, A, A-, B+ ...) are also part of educational reform and standardization and are used widely in
our academic institutions. For ease of grading, Ex corresponds to 90 per cent and above; and lower grades go
down in steps of 10 per cent. Grades reduce the obsession with small differences in marks, and are an excellent
indicator of the students’ overall capability, enabling one to identify good students across sciences and
humanities. For each student a transcript of his/her performance will be given for each semester along with the
Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) for the major subject as well as for all the subjects taken together.

History:
Dr Surya Kumar Bhuyan Library of Cotton College founded at the time of the inception of the college itself is
one of the oldest libraries in the entire north-east region. Initially it was housed in one of the two large halls
of a spacious single storied building. During 1909-1910, the library accommodated about 2000 books. By
1915, it reached the number more than 5000. During the next twenty years the number of books in the
library had more than doubled and reached the figure of 16891 in 1939-40. During the Quinquannium
(1907-1912), a librarian had been appointed. In 1913, the management of the library was rested on a
committee formed with the members from the faculties. When the volume of books started increasing, it
has been shifted to an independent building which was earlier used as Physics department. In 1950, Prof
Tirtha Nath Sarma, an eminent scholar joined the Cotton College library and served as Deputy Librarian till
1954 followed by Md. Azad Hussain who served the library till 1984. He was the first professionally qualified
person to serve the library. In 2001, the post of Deputy Librarian was re-designated as Librarian. In the year
1986, the Cotton College library glorified itself with the name of Dr Surya Kumar Bhuyan, a versatile genius
who served the institution in the status of Professor of English and also the Principal for few years. In 1992,
the then Honourable President of India Dr Shanker Dayal Sarma laid the foundation stone for a three storied
library building. The new library building was named as ‘Centenary building’ of the college and was officially
inaugurated by the then Chief Minister of Assam Sri Tarun Gogoi on 29th May 2001.

The Department of English has been an integral part of Cotton College since 1901, the year the college
itself came into being. For more than a century now it has been playing a pivotal role in contributing to the
academic and cultural life of the entire northeastern region of the country. Prof. F.W. Südmersen, founder
Principal of Cotton College also taught English initially for two years. Prof. Narendranath Roy, who joined
the college in 1903, was the first full time teacher of the department. From the session 1913-14,
Honours (now called ‘Major’) Course in English was introduced under Calcutta University. An M.A. course
in English (Group-A) under Calcutta University was introduced in Cotton College in 1914 marking the
beginning of Post-Graduate education in Assam. However, with the close of the session 1932-33, the
M.A. classes in English were abolished due to economic depression. But PG classes in English were reintroduced in 1979 under the Gauhati University. Currently all classes are being conducted under Cotton
College State University.

an important role in moulding the activities of the students in a manner calculated to build up
character and thus forming a filling supplement to the intellectual training received within the
class rooms. One of the most notable aspects of the year 1922, the first issue of “The Cotton
College Magazine” was published on 1st December, printed entirely in English under the editorship
of Prof. R. C. Goffin. In 1933, the name of the magazine was changed to the more euphonious
“Cottonian” and provision was made for student editors. Late Suresh Chandra Rajkhowa and
