Since then it had been quenching the learning thirst of students for almost 6 years. Later on local public felt an intense need of higher education and as a result of untiring and unexhausted struggle of the public and local Khans the higher secondary school was upgraded to Degree College. Lieutenant Gen (R) Iftikhar Hussain Shah, the then Governor of KPK Inaugurated it as a Degree College.

The College building is stretched over a vast area of 50 canals. Its building comprises of two parts; Arts Block and Science Block. There are few class rooms and a grand library in the upper storey of Arts Block while its ground floor has Principal office, Staff Room and clerk office. The Science Block has few class rooms along with laboratories for science subjects. There is a huge Play ground in front of the main building where students play different games during free hours. Recently in auspicious hall has been added to the texture of the college.

At present the College is in preliminary stages and is devoid of so many basic facilities and necessities. It was facing staff unavailability but the situation is now quite improved.
