Remarks

Cotton University previously known as cotton college is 119 years old prestigious institution in North-East India. But till now this instituation doesnt have any closed campus and any transporation system. Again cotton university doesnt have any good playgrounds and no hospital.

Course Curriculum Overview

The course is made by a panel of higlhy experianced profesiors of different universities. The standard of course is on high level and modern. The Exam structure is based on Choice based credit system.

Placement Experience

The placement and job opportunities in cotton university is not good in present time since this university was upgraded from Cotton college 2 years ago and the university hasn't get any fund either from state and central government till now. So the university is suffering from diffenrent problem. So regarding job placement, not much importnace is given till now. Cotton university doesnt provide any internship till now.

College Events

Varsity week- takes place every year Inter-Departmental Competition- Held different competition among different departments. Cotton Fiesta- Takes place once in a year for 2 days. National Level MCB Debate- It's a national level Debate competition and students from different college and universities comes to take part.

Fee Structure And Facilities

Since Cotton University is a state university, and Assam Government provides fee waiver scheme for economically poor students so in cotton university for economically poor students fee waiver is available, while for other students the fee structure is feasible.

Fees and Financial Aid

Cotton university provides scholarship to students having good academic records in HS, UG, PG level respectively. Besides micro research scholarship is available which is started from 2019. Besides many state and national level scholarship can be availed through university.

Campus Life

The level of extra curricular activities such as dance, music, sports,NCC in cotton university is very good.This are practised in the university on regular basis. While the lab facilities is not upto the mark in different universities.

Hostel Facilities

I haven't opted for hostel. Since many of my friends stay in hostel, according to them the hostel infrastucture is good and all facilities are available in every hostel which is primarily necessary for students.

External Expense: Rs.2000 - Rs.4000

Alumni/Alumna

The alumini network is good and many well known person studied in this college/university. Well known politician, social worker, sports player,musicians are passed out from this institution.Some of them are Dr. Bhuoen hazarika, Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma, Ranjan Gogoi etc. The senior students are very helpful in every aspect.

Admission

I got admission for graduation through merit basis. While for Post graduation admission, 2 procedure is followed- one is for cotton graduates i.e. reservation and for other universities entrance exam is held.

Faculty

3.5

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.

My department (Geography) Faculty members are very good.
The teachers not only help in academics but also guide us for our better well-being.

Dislikes

Construction is going on in the college campus.
Though it has gain the autonomous tag still didn't get any such benefit.
The toilets are very unhygienic and have very bad odour.

Our course is very easy to understand anyone who is new to this branch or doesn't have any idea about geography can easily understand the topics through the guidance of our faculty members. They provide extra classes for better understanding of the students.

As like other departments there were favouritism which was not performed by every teacher but some among them.
Faculty was serious about cheating and does take hard steps.

They were efficient for our future. The course included creative writing, Aranslation studies, American studies, Feminist texts, British literature, Indian literature, Post colonialism and others. They helped in development of language and skills.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course of our college is veey good. If a student want to take any course in medical they can take it easily with the entrance exam taken from government with only 50% . If I talk about the area which can be improved then the timing of college have been improved.
