In September 2020, the Assam Legislative Assembly passed the Assam Skill University Act to establish Assam Skill University (ASU).
Assam Skill University envisions becoming a leading institution recognized for its exceptional academic standards and cutting-edge infrastructure. Our vision includes:
- Establishing a distinguished reputation as a premier institution, with a state-of-the-art campus equipped with advanced facilities and technologies.
- Integrating skills education and training with higher education, fostering applied research and development, and offering comprehensive entrepreneurship education and support.
- Enhancing skill levels to boost the productivity and global competitiveness of industries in Assam and the North Eastern Region.
Assam Skill University aims to address the educational and training needs of students, Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions, higher education providers, and industries in neighboring countries facing similar challenges in skills development, with which the university shares longstanding relationships.
A city campus has been established at Birubari, Guwahati, within the ITI-Guwahati campus, and the University commenced sessions for the academic year 2024-25 from this city campus.
The main campus at Mangaldai will be operational from the academic session 2025-2026. Located in Mangaldai (Darrang district), approximately 74 kilometers east of Guwahati,Assam Skill University is strategically positioned within 25 kilometers of National Highway 27, which connects Guwahati to other key cities in Assam. This highway is well-integrated with other transport modes—air, water, and rail—providing crucial connectivity to neighboring states and countries.
