Gyan Jyoti College (GJC), Siliguri was established in the year 2005 under the aegis of Vivekananda Academic Foundation, a registered trust.

It was in the year 2005 that few established corporate businessmen and professionals realized the chronic issue of students migrating to other parts of the country for higher education that they came up with the idea of establishing a charitable educational institution by the name, Gyan Jyoti College. Thus, in the same year, these individuals formed a trust by the name Vivekananda Academic Foundation and adopted the principles of Swami Vivelananda to contribute to the society by creating exemplary human resouces who can stand on their own in Society, as part of their corporate social responsibility.

Gyan Jyoti College is a self financed College in North Bengal. The untiring efforts of the Board of Trustees coupled with the institution's highly trained and dedicated teachers, brought unexpected results with students poruing in with the hope of enrolling themselves in the institution. The previous decade was a witness to how the college successfully encountered the tough challenges with time. Today the college has a respected and well-established alma-mater for over 2500 graduates of 15 disciplines in Science, Commerce, Management, Computer Applications and Humanities.
