Oriental College Kohima was established in 1996 under the Christian Youth Organization of Christian Revival Church, Kohima Village. The organization is registered under the Registration of Societies Act, 1969 (H/RS-4958, dated 25 January 2008).
The college was recognised by the University Grants Commission under Sections 2(f) and 12(b) of the UGC Act, 1956 on 7 July 2011. Its scenic 5.20-acre campus lies below East Circular Road, about 1.4 km from the heart of Kohima.
Founded to meet the growing demand for quality higher education in Nagaland, the college promotes academic excellence, discipline, moral values and holistic development, and encourages vocational, technical, cultural, social and ethical learning for students of every creed, caste and community.
In line with its vision, the college runs Life Skills and Personality Development (LSPD) classes and an annual Skill Fest to nurture talent, strengthen life values and prepare students to be confident and self-reliant.

Classroom teaching is complemented by a wide range of co-curricular activities and clubs, and by an exclusive Life Skills and Personality Development (LSPD) course alongside the regular syllabus.
We believe every student can grow when given the right environment and guidance. We respect the unique abilities of each individual, and aim to raise morally sound, well-rounded citizens while keeping high academic standards in line with the national framework.

The emblem signifies "Transcend": from ignorance to knowledge, from darkness to light, to go beyond.
It is full of shapes, figures and colours familiar to the Nagas, whose home lies in the east. Hence, "Oriental".
Written by Ms. Virie and Ms. Menguseii Suokhrie
Oriental, a true home
Where the gleam of wisdom flows,
Crowned with believer's faith,
The pillar shall stand.
We will carry our light
To our life's onward view,
For glorious dreams,
We will march ahead.
In radiant hope,
We all will go along,
Striving for our goals,
Finding our strength till we see them through.
Arise, arise, arise and shine,
Oriental soldiers will "Transcend".

Holistic education, skill development and personality enhancement.
The college strives for excellence in curricular and co-curricular activities, and aims to nurture integrated personalities whose intellectual, mental, moral and physical faculties develop in harmony.
Classroom learning is supported by clubs, extracurricular activities and the exclusive Life Skills and Personality Development (LSPD) course.
Our job is not to prepare students for something. Our job is to help students prepare themselves for everything.
The Skill Development and Entrepreneurship Programme began in 2017. Every year, the week-long Skill Fest trains students in a range of vocational and entrepreneurial trades around a theme, building awareness of sustainability, entrepreneurship and innovation.
