It offers undergraduate LL.B and integrated B.A. LL.B courses, as well as a two-year LL.M program, all affiliated with Gauhati University and recognized by the Bar Council of India.

The inauguration of the Government Law College in Tezpur by CM Himanta Biswa Sarma is a step towards realizing these ambitious educational goals, ensuring that Assam continues to foster legal expertise and academic excellence for generations to come.
