Cotton University Guwahati, B.Sc

Reviewed on Oct 24, 2017

Remarks

The college has been recently upgraded to university by Assam govt. The newly formed university of this prestigious heritage college is currently unstable and has to improve in many aspects to compete with other universities .

Entrance Preview

I was selected for admission based on merit list of HS marks. No interviews were taken in order to judge students personality. Research opportunities in the field of biology were the main reason for choosing the course.

Course Curriculum Overview

I am studying Biotechnology which is a self-financing course in our university. Overall curricular is lacking standards with respect to other universities. Practical set up of the department is not up to the mark. Undergraduate students are not guided and encouraged by the professors to take up any research initiatives. Along with the major course, zoology, botany, chemistry, and computer science is offered by the university.

Internships Opportunities

College is not very supportive for internships. Some students with the help of recommendations by faculty members did internship based on their own interests. I did a research internship in IASST Guwahati. Only some students in my class did internships.

Placement Experience

No placements opportunities are there for the students after Bsc course in our university as most of them go for higher studies .

College Events

4.5

Many traditional cultural events are held. Quizzes are regular. In the Previous year, a college fest was organized with the traditional theme.

Fee Structure And Facilities

Per semester course fee is Rs 25000 along with additional 4000-5000 admission fee in every odd semester. The facilities are not up to the mark with respect to the course fee. The department is lacking basic infrastructure.

Campus Life

One of the best in northeast India in terms of extracurricular activities, Every student has equal opportunity for showcasing their talent .

Exam Structure

Exam structure is quite normal and not stressful. Lab sessions are not followed very often according to the schedule.

Faculty

Faculty strength is not sufficiently with respect to the student intake.There are only 3 faculty members for all 3-year students. All three are doctorates from reputed universities of Assam like Guwahati University. The teachers are mainly comfortable in teaching in Local Language. They don't follow modern methods of teaching. Overall teaching standard is poor.

I like the infrastructure of our college.
Our college have enough rooms and halls to accommodate huge number of students
Digitalisation in teaching methods in all classrooms.

Dislikes

Toilet is still not clean as promised by our GS.
Lack of equipments in practical laboratories.
Cleanliness and hygiene are a bit off track.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I choose this course i.e. department of Botany because the department ensuring a strong theoretical foundations along with the practical experience. The course prepares well for students as the acedemic results is always good which will make gratutides well equipped for jobs. Some sections of the course should be updated to meet the latest technology, more guests lectures and the interships should be provided to the students. The exams clustering of multiple exams should be within times which relases unneccsary stress, the exams are conducted easy to insane which is very challenging for the students.
