Established in 1984, People's College Mokokchung has its beginnings on the premises of Fazl Ali College (FAC), offering evening classes to cater to the growing number employed adult students whose work schedule prevented them from attending college at traditional times. The students then were voluntarily taught by professors from FAC until a Government order to introduce the science stream no longer made it possible to continue teaching those classes at FAC campus.
The college then shifted its base to the present day campus, located in the heart of Mokokchung town at Kumlong Ward. Backed by a group of dedicated well-wishers through their contributions and donations. People's College established itself as a full-fledged college moving on from what was then called a "night college” and opening its doors to full-time students. In 1996, the Nagaland University granted the college the degree provisional affiliation facilitating major degrees in all departments under the humanities.
Today People's College is one of the premier colleges in Mokokchung Town and it continues to strive for excellence in higher education while augmenting greater educational standards in the state of Nagaland. At present, the college is awaiting accreditation by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) in line with the college's aim to establish itself as a centre of academic excellence.
