It was established in 1972 by the government of Andhra Pradesh. Only male students from Andhra Pradesh are admitted after passing an entrance test.

It was the brain child of Sri. P.V. Narasimha Rao, the then Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh and Sri M. V. Rajagopal, I.A.S., the then Director and Secretary of Education, government of Andhra Pradesh. With the background of separatist movements, they had a dream of establishing a statewide educational institution to promote regional reconciliation, by admitting students from all the three regions of the state, the coastal Andhra, Telangana and Rayalaseema. They wanted to provide an atmosphere free from financial worries by providing free boarding, free lodging and free coaching. Their dream materialized and took shape in the form of Silver Jubilee Government College, a residential degree college, located in Kurnool, the first capital of Andhra Pradesh. The students were admitted from all the three regions of the state, coastal Andhra, Telangana and Rayalaseema in the ratio of 42:36:22, on merit basis through a statewide entrance test .

The University Grants Commission, New Delhi, conferred Autonomy in 2005. The National Accreditation and Assessment Council, Bangalore, has examined the academic and infra-structural facilities and awarded an "A" grade. The college has introduced vocational courses like Industrial Chemistry, Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Microbiology, Biochemistry, Computer science, and Travel and Tourism. Postgraduate courses in English, Telugu and Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Economics have been started.
