The Department of Education was introduced in 1979 under the North-Eastern Hill University. Since then, new graduates in Education have been produced annually. The postgraduate section was introduced in the 2021 academic session. The Department has seven (7) regular teachers at present. Six (6) Associate Professors and one (1) Assistant Professor, out of which two are doctorate degree holders.

The Department believes in creating a close relationship between teachers and students as this creates a sound environment for learning. This is attempted through the mentoring programme and informal interactions through social media. This practice also serves as an effective way of reaching former students if and when necessary. The Department also recognises the importance of co-curricular activities and involves students in sporting events and group projects such as site visits to places with educational significance such as orphanages, care homes, etc. The students also take active roles in functions organized by the college, be it in sports, cultural programmes or academics. It is a tradition of the Department that every student and teacher contributes a small sum of money monthly. This is spent at the end of the semester for outings or visits to homes run by NGOs.
