Pachhunga University College, Aizawl was established in 1958. The start of the college was primarily the behest of the enthusiastic locals in order to meet the growing need of higher education among the native Mizo youth. The faculty originally comprised a team of Christian missionaries, with a few educated natives, worked purely on voluntary basis. At the onset, classes were conducted at the Theatre Hall itself, and toward the end of 1961, the college moved to an abandoned warehouse at Children's Park. In 1962 the college was renamed Pachhunga Memorial College (PMC) after the philanthropic entrepreneur Mr. Pachhunga, he and his family who were outstanding benefactors of the college since its inception.
The college was relocated to its permanent campus in June 1965. On July 1 1965, the Assam Government declared provincialization, and the name was once more changed to Pachhunga Memorial Government College (PMGC).’ Permanent teachers were appointed only in 1967 under the Assam Public Service Commission. When the Mizoram Union Territory was formed in 1972, the management of the college was handed over to the Government of Mizoram. Eventually, the entire administration was taken over by North Eastern Hill University (NEHU) on 19 April 1979, and became the one and only constituent college of the university, and the name ultimately becoming Pachhunga University College (PUC). With the setting up of Mizoram University on 2 July 2002, the authority was once again signed over to the new university; and remain as such ever since.
