History

The college is named after Choudhary Narasingha Charan Mohapatra of Kodandpur, the principal donor of the institution. The college fulfilled a long-cherished desire of the people of this area.

Classes were held in Jajpur High School until 1952. Thereafter the college was shifted to its present campus that stretches in a serene rural setting, about 2 km to the west of the historical town of Jajpur. Jajpur NC College has lost autonomous status since 2012. However, admission for self-financing courses at Plus III level is being conducted by the college on claims of being autonomous.
