As an Institute of higher learning the Government Degree College Uttersoo was established in April 2008. The College was first housed in Government Higher Secondary School Uttersoo and due to non-availability of infrastructure only a few Humanities & Languages courses were taught in the College. The College was shifted to its new campus on 30th April 2018. Science Stream with four subjects [04] subjects along with Computer Applications and various other Humanities & Language courses were introduced in the College from the Academic Year 2018.

In the lap of nature, the new campus is spread over sixty [60] Kanals of land. The green carpet of paddy fields stretches miles and miles in the backdrop. The invigorating mountain air, the calm and serenity, the densely clad hills and the snow-capped mountains in the eastern side enhance the beauty of the campus. The only sound heard in the campus is that of serenely blowing light wind during evening times and that of the Arpath-Nallah [Arpath River] flowing in the back side of the campus. Besides this, a beautiful stream of pure and blue water flows in front of the College; making it more attractive and appealing.

Uttersoo is a small hamlet inhabited mainly by agriculturists and orchardists. It is imperative to mention here that Uttersoo is a scenic township located in the lap of pastures and green forests alongside Anantnag-Chatabal road. Uttersoo is approximately twenty-five [25] kilometres away from Anantnag town and seventy-five [75] kilometres from the summer capital Srinagar, and at an elevation of two thousand [2000] meters.

The College has grown up in strength and standard and aims to march ahead in the pursuit of excellence.
