History
Sri Guru Gobind Singh College was established in January, 1960 at Patna City to spread Higher Education among the people of this locality.
The college is associated with the cherished and revered name of ‘Badshah Darvesh Shri Guru Gobind Singh Jee’ – who was born in this holy and historic city Patna Saheb on 22nd December, 1666. This light of patriotism and sacrifice, essentially eternal in character, will never die out, rather it will continue to shine over our murky national horizon and will root out the social and political evils for which this great Luminary stood and fought for the whole life. The plans for starting this institution were chalked out during the 42nd All India Sikh Educational Conference, which was organized to commemorate the 300th Birth – Anniversary of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Jee in the first week of January, 1960.

A Board of trustees was formed with S. Surjit Singh Majithia, Deputy Defense Minister and S. Arjan Singh, Divisional Engineer, Eastern Railways as its Chairman and Secretary respectively to give concrete shape to the idea of and Ideal Institution. Dr. Dukhan Ram the then Vice Chancellor of Bihar University, took the initiative and granted affiliation to the college. The Classes were started from 16th August 1960 under the Principal ship of S. Gurubachan Singh Talib, Ex-Principal of Khalsa College, Mumbai.

Principal's Message
It gives me great honor to convey the message for the college established in Holy name of the tenth Sikh Guru, Sri Guru Gobind Singh Jee Maaharaj. An ideal college of higher education and a golden temple of moral and spiritual awakening for the students of Bihar.
विद्यां ददाति विनयं। विनयाद् याति पात्रताम्॥
पात्रत्वात् धनमाप्नोति । धनात् धर्मं ततः सुखम्।। नीति श्लोक ।।
Education plays a crucial role in developing an individual, society and country as a whole. It is equally important for economic self-dependence, which makes an individual, a worthy and a contributing citizen. A man maybe said well- educated if he follows a healthy lifestyle, if he inculcates positive thinking and if he takes wise decisions and cherishes the idea of freedom, love and service to humanity.A good institution not only educates individuals but also inspires them to become responsible citizens in the society. Therefore, our college aims to provide quality education and instills moral values in our students, helping them to become self-sufficient, respectable and better human beings.
We have well developed infrastructure and well-qualified faculties to provide education of excellence to our students in the traditional subject of Arts, Science and Commerce. We have also taken great initiative along with our highly intellectual faculties in availing vocational education for our inspiring students. Vocational courses like B.B.M and B.C.A. are also part of College courses. I would like to tender my heartiest gratitude to Honorable Vice-Chancellor, Patliputra University Prof. (Dr.) Gulab Chand Ram Jaiswal who has been a part of major improvements and has encouraged our faculties for great work. Heartiest gratitude to Ex. Honorable Vice-Chancellor, Magadha University Prof. (Dr.) B.N. Pandey who inspired to start Vocational Courses in the college and gave various suggestions to make it grand success.
Wishing you All the best.
