It was established on 12 Feb. 1883 with Intermediate level classes then called as F. A. under Calcutta University, as there was no university in Bihar. Rai Bahadur Tej Narayan Singh contributed a good deal of his mind, labour, money and land also for its building and the college was named as Tej Narayan Jubillee College (TNJ). Just after 2 years in 1885, degree and Post-graduate classes in some of the subject of Arts and degree class in Law were started in this college. Again the successors of Banaili families came to its help and contributed 60 acres of land and 6 lakhs of rupees in Cash for the construction of building and other developmental work. The Govt. of Bihar also gave some grant for the building and as a consequence the magnificent building of the college came up in 1922. The college was renamed on the 23rd June 1959 as Tej Narayan Banaili College considering the great contribution made by the Banaili estate towards its rise and glorious achievements.

In Feb.’2004, the college was accredited by NAAC and awarded B+ grade.
