NSUI scores successive student poll wins in Assam, bags 10 posts at B. Borooah College

• NSUI claims 10 key victories at B. Borooah College in Assam, including the vice-president and general secretary posts.

• The Congress-affiliated student organisation won eight of 12 posts at Guwahati's Karmashree Hiteswar Saikia College.

• NSUI has also secured positions at Dibrugarh University in Assam and Garhwal Central University in Uttarakhand.

The National Students' Union of India (NSUI), the student wing of the Congress, has bagged victories in 10 key positions in the students' union elections at B. Borooah College in Assam, adding to its recent gains at other educational institutions in the state.

In a Facebook post, the Congress said NSUI Assam had won the vice-president and general secretary posts, along with eight other major positions at B. Borooah College. The party described the outcome as a victory for students who had chosen “progress over propaganda”.

The college's election results, announced on 15 October, show that Karan Tamuly won the vice-president's post with 675 votes, while Abinash Gogoi was elected general secretary with 818 votes. The official results notice does not list candidates' political affiliations, and their association with NSUI could not be independently verified from the notice.

The result follows a strong performance by NSUI at Karmashree Hiteswar Saikia College in Guwahati, where its candidates won eight of the 12 students' union posts in elections whose results were declared on 14 October.

The organisation secured the vice-president's post through Taizuddin Ahmed and the general secretary's post through Rupchan Ali. The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) won the remaining four posts, including the president's position.

At Dibrugarh University, NSUI-backed Dewanga Barthakur was elected president of the Post Graduate Students' Union for 2026-27. The organisation won four of the 18 posts, while the All Assam Students' Union (AASU) secured 11 and the Asom Chatra Parishad won three.

Beyond Assam, NSUI recorded a strong performance at the Birla and BGR campuses of Hemvati Nandan Bahuguna Garhwal Central University in Uttarakhand. At the BGR campus, it won the president, vice-president, secretary, joint secretary and treasurer posts, along with three executive committee seats.

The results add to NSUI's recent electoral gains on campuses, although outcomes have varied across institutions and student organisations.
