Dhemaji is the headquarters of Dhemaji district, situated on the north bank of the Brahmaputra in upper Assam. The district has historically had limited access to specialised higher education, and commerce-oriented institutions such as Dhemaji Commerce College were established to provide instruction in accountancy, business studies, economics and allied subjects within easy reach of local students.
The college offers undergraduate programmes in commerce, leading to the Bachelor of Commerce (B.Com) degree. As with most general degree colleges in Assam, it functions within the framework of the state's higher education system, with affiliation to a public university for examinations and curriculum, and recognition under the regulatory framework governing Indian colleges.
The college contributes to the spread of commerce education in a predominantly agrarian region of Assam. By providing locally available undergraduate training in business and accounting, it supports access to careers in banking, taxation, small enterprise and government services for students from Dhemaji and adjoining areas such as Lakhimpur and parts of Arunachal Pradesh.
