Tezpur is the cultural hub of Assam. This culturally reach, picturesque town is located adjacent to the mighty Brahmaputra on its north bank. Tezpur is the biggest town on the north bank of Brahmaputra and it is the gateway to a large section of Arunachal Pradesh.

“Tezpur extension centre of NIELIT Guwahati” is in operation w.e.f. 5th August’1998, in the name & style of “CEDTI Tezpur” after signing of an MOU between Tezpur University & erstwhile Dept. of Electronics, Govt. of India. The centre started its operations from the Tezpur University campus at Na Paam near Tezpur. The location was later shifted to Law College Campus, Tezpur.  
Subsequently as per decision of the Executive Committee meeting held on 18-7-2002, the CEDTI, Tezpur has been re-named as “CEDTI, North East (Upper)” with area of operation extending to the states of Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya and Sikkim and to initially function from Guwahati and Tezpur with administrative set up at Guwahati.
