The college with an initial strength of 118 students and 11 staff members, was the result of a hallmark initiative of the Railway Administration, for the welfare of their employees. Railway Degree College which initially served the wards of Railway employees, later opened its doors tostudents from other backgrounds too.
While the college primarily serves the wards of Railway employees (with a quota of 51% for railway employees and 49% for DOST), it is committed to diversity and inclusivity, including those from SC/ST/BC categories, to the best extent possible, with a particular concern for the socially and economically disadvantaged.
The College remains dedicated to affordable quality education through an extensive array of academic programs integrated with co-curricular activities. These initiatives include NSS and other social responsibility projects, cultural and literary activities, sports and extension lectures. The college curriculum follows the UGC-recommended Choice Based Credit System
