The college provides education in Science, Commerce, Arts and other subjects. Siddha Nath Gupta (S.N. Gupta) is the principal and is in office from 1 April 2022.

It is named after Rai Bhadur Bishambhar Nath who was an industrialist, banner, freedom fighter and social worker. He devoted his life to the cause of national integration, and to the spread of the Gandhian way of life.

Rajiv L. Gupta, the Indian-American businessman, attended the College in the late 1950s when it was a middle and high school. In his self-published 2016 autobiography Gupta attributed his later confidence to his time at the school and said the teaching had impressed upon him the importance of structure.this is school for both girls and boys now{{Cite book |last1=Gupta |first1=Raj |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=plvBCwAAQBAJ&dq=Bishambhar+Nath+Sanatan+Dharam+Inter+College&pg=PA10 |title=Eight Dollars and A Dream: My American Journey |last2=Havely |first2=Syd |date=2016-03-10 |publisher=Lulu Press |isbn=978-1-4834-4756-8 |pages=10,11 |language=en}}
