History

Patkai, of which the Nagaland Baptist Church Council and Manipur Baptist Convention are major sponsors, was started in August 1974 with twenty students. However, the college is not a denominational institution, so the college receives financial assistance from several Christian denominational churches as well as independent churches and organizations. In late 1975, Patkai was provisionally affiliated to the North Eastern Hill University, Shillong.

The college offers various courses from all available art courses, social sciences, commerce, sciences, computer sciences, business administration, and music courses.
