What Students Say

Likes

The infrastructure and view of the college is very good and calming I can sit there all day looking at the greenery of the campus
In my branch there is no pressure for attendance which makes me feel pretty easy on my life as I can do other part time job
The accessibility of the college since not very far away from my home I can easily travel from home to college with my bike.

Dislikes

Some of the teachers have the ego of course since they are hired by a government still we shouldn't be the member of their ego
The food here is very mid so we need to go out of the campus to have our lunch
Few of my batchmates are very irritating so I don't like to stay in college for them

Course Curriculum Overview

I was always a computer science guy and already made my mind that I would pursue computer engineering in future so I was pretty satisfied with my course. the academic course has 2 semester of common subject for all branches then your main subject according to the branch. Yeah there are few subjects related to commerce and arts background which I feel is worthless for guys of engineering like us . exams are held every 4 months of the semester start.

Class Size: 70Course Fees: INR 20000 per year

Internships Opportunities

3.5

after every even semester in the month of June our college brings in several companies for in campus internships which goes on for the whole month like in 2 nd semester we learnt robotics,AWS, python, editing photos and videos etc etc. It was pretty exciting but also ta the same time it can be boring.

Placement Experience

the students can apply for placement from the 6 th semester. various companies visit our college for placement every year like Wipro,tata,iocl etc etc. the highest package received last year was 20 lakhs and average students got 5 lakhs of package. I would also try for college placements if I couldn't I would try directly to the company.

Fees and Financial Aid

the fee every semester is around rupees 20,000 each so total degree would cost upto around rupees 1,60,000 which I feel pretty minimal.There are scholarships but you need to provide a valid reason for the financial aid .I haven't been in campus employment yet.

Campus Life

the fests are held pretty regularly which I like very much . the main fest varsity week is held every year on March in which every branches student fight for medals in various sports and activities. the library here is a pretty big one almost everything is available in our library. also there are all labs required by students to pursue their specific studies and interest. there are political parties like all Assam student union main office in our college.

Admission

The admission was pretty suprising because I wasn't expecting I would get a government college though I gave state entrance exam CEE for applying in government college. The cutoff was like 40 to get into bio-tech course and 90 into information technology and 130 to get into computer science. Our college has same course for information technology and computer science so I wasn't disappointed.

Since I am in civil dept so the civil dept is the most well maintained and beautiful dept of my college. The faculty members are more or less friendly and good.
Teachers are good and friendly. Specially in civil the seniors are also good and friendly.
In civil dept there are many events which take place as compared to other dept .

Dislikes

Only boys hostel is there but no girls hostel.
In civil dept the placement opportunities are not upto the mark but in other dept specially chemical placement is good even in mechanical too.
Campus can be made more beautiful although work is going on.

Course Curriculum Overview:

See I had the passion for civil since my 10th std. I am really happy about my course . Because there are many job opportunities in govt sector in Assam. I like the teachers of my dept but some are not that friendly . Maybe it depends upon their mood sometimes I don't know really . The civil course is practical it's enjoyable. I would have liked it more if it would had more placement opportunities on campus . Otherwise it's fine

The admission process includes an examination of 100 marks coducted by Gauhati University which tests students knowledge in various aspects including General Knowlege, English, Mathematics, Logical Reasoning.
