A review of NEHU, Shillong, from a 1st Year BTech Student

This course might be one of the best courses in yhr University, if not the best. Placement rate, comparative to other courses, is the highest as of what I know. The curriculum dhould be improved. Lot of unnecessary subjects, that too with a lot of credits. The important subjects are just taught at the basic level, which should be way higher. The exam frequency and timings are good. But they are way too easy.

Internship is very bad. A few companies barely come, that too are not good. An extremely skilled senior of ours just got his degree, and got a placement of 7LPA. If such a skilled person gets such low salary, I don't know what to expect.

Yearly fees is around 60k inr. First Semester fees structure: Development Fee: 7200 Course Fee (payable for each semester): 18000 Tuition fees (@140 per month) payable each semester: 840 Lab fee (@60 per month) payable each semester: 360 Admission fee (at time of admission): 180 Library fee (per sem): 60 Sports fee (per annum): 120 Medical fee (per annum): 180 Students Association Fund (per annum): 110 Student's aid fund (per annum): 120 Lab caution deposit (refundable): 600 Library caution deposit (refundable): 480 Exam fee (payable each sem): 1500 Practical (200rs per paper): 800 Bus fare (per sem): 600 Smart id card (per annum): 100 Students' magazine: 150 Registration fee: 350 Total: 31750 No scholarships.

Overall Campus life is mostly good. A big problem though, the tribal people here (Khasi) are cery aggresive. You complain about anything, amd they just come to your room to beat you up. They can literally kill you if unstopped. Can't complain about the heinous food here, because of the above reason. They can cut into your line when you take the food and take before you, and you cannot say anything. A good number of books in the library. More than enough. Festivals are celebrated too much though. Freshers, farewell, Varsity fests, etc.

We keep our own room clean. No such faculty to help. But the cleaners clean the hallways and all almist everyday. But no faculty help in the room. Which is understandable honestly. Meal is not terrible, but can be way better. Registration process for hostel is hectic (somewhat) but not that bad. Affordability is 5 stars. Cannot be cheaper.

I had gotten this college through CSAB counselling. So I did not really get mire choices. As said before, the climate and environment is awesome. There is no ragging here, and seniors and faculty members are very good. Although our HOD is not good, the other factors do enough.

There are not enough faculty members. Often times, guest lecturers take classes, with less experience, hence sometimes downgrading the learning quality. But yes, some guest lecturers are very good too. Faculty to stident ratio is around 1:15, which is a guess. It can be way off. But yes, it can be way worse. This ratio is good enough ig. Some faculty members i liked are our Mathematics Professors, Engineering Graphics Professor, and many others. Can't name them all. They are very good at what they are doing. The exams are extremely easy, and questions are mistly either repeated, or taught in the class. It is too easy in fact; shouls be way harder. A few barely fail. Course curriculum should be improved though.

Night life is well enough. Not too bad, not too good either. I've heard that the gym has a lot of equipments, but it is extremely far from here. 30+ minutes of walk. So idk about timings. Cafeteria is a 10-15 minutes walk. Clises around 7-8pm. Not bad, but should go yill later. Locality is somewhat safe, but not predictable. Especially cuz its filled with jungles all around. Closing time is around 8-10pm for all ig, which is reasonable.
