He spent his early childhood and schooling years in the town of Shillong, Meghalaya. Both his parents were teachers. His mother Devika Saikia taught Assamese literature at Sankardev College, Shillong, while his father Debendra Nath Saikia taught Commercial geography at St. Anthony's College, Shillong. Dhruba Saikia studied in St. Edmund's School from 1961 to 1971, passing the Indian School Certificate Examination conducted by the University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate in 1971. </p><p>After completing his school education in Shillong, Saikia, a National Science Talent Scholarship recipient, joined <a href="/wiki/Hindu_College,_Delhi" title="Hindu College, Delhi">Hindu College, Delhi</a> in 1972. He received his B.Sc. with Physics honours from Delhi University in 1975, and then joined Gwyer Hall for his postgraduate studies. He received his M.Sc. in physics from Delhi University in 1977, and soon took up a regular position in the Radio Astronomy Group of the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, and joined at Ooty on 16 August 1977. It was an exciting time for the group. The Ooty Radio Telescope, built indigenously by a very young group led by Govind Swarup had produced many interesting results and provided additional evidence in support of the Big Bang model of the Universe just a couple of years earlier.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>After spending two years at Ooty, he shifted to the TIFR Centre in the campus of the Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru, where he did most of his Ph.D. work, completing his thesis in 1985 under the guidance of <a href="/wiki/Vijay_Kumar_Kapahi" title="Vijay Kumar Kapahi">Vijay Kapahi</a> and <a href="/wiki/Govind_Swarup" title="Govind Swarup">Govind Swarup</a>.
