About Our College

Pioneering science education in Marathwada since 1961 — shaping the doctors, engineers, and scientists of tomorrow.

History & Heritage

Dayanand Science College, Latur is an independent science college under the umbrella of Dayanand Shikshan Sanstha. Dayanand Shikshan Sanstha was established in 1961 with the aim of opening the doors of higher education to the youth of the region. Over the past 65 years the overwhelming response from students across Maharashtra stands as proof that this mission has been fulfilled.

Initially Arts, Commerce and Science streams were housed under one college. As student numbers grew and demand surged, the Science faculty was separated into its own independent college in 1967 — making it the only college of its kind in Maharashtra at that time. From that point the college has been operating under Swami Ramanand Teertha Marathwada University, Nanded, and is affiliated to the Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education.

Today the college has attained high academic standards. The contribution of the management, chairman, secretary, joint secretary, board members, experienced and devoted teaching and non-teaching staff, industrious and talented students, forward-looking parents and well-wishers has been immense. Strict discipline, rigorous study, effective teaching, brilliant results and a student-centred focus have earned this college a reputation as a premier institution in Maharashtra.

In the years 1987–88, 1988–89 and 1989–90 the college students topped the Maharashtra State HSC (12th Standard) examination three consecutive times, becoming the first college in Maharashtra to achieve this feat. Since then, the college has consistently ranked among the top institutions in the state. In the MHT-CET examination, more than 200 from this college secure a place in the state merit list - a distinction earned not just in Marathwada but recognised across all of Maharashtra.
