Though the College was established in 1887, the tenures of office of the Principals of the College before Late Monorathdhone De, except in terms of years, can not be ascertained exactly from the available records. However, the tenures of those Principals are given based on the list of Principals prepared by the former Principals / Teachers / Non-teaching staff and of course, the donor family members. But the tenures of office of the Principals (including Vice-Principals discharging functions of Principals & Teachers-in Charge) starting from Late Principal Monorathdhone De till date are based on G.B. resolutions.
