Satisfactory with qualified teachers .
Placements: I personally don't find the placement cell of the university of much use. Though it is a good state university but not many students get placed across different courses. The average package offered to undergraduate student was INR 5.4 LPA in 2022. The placement performance of the university fails to compliment the reputation of the university.
Infrastructure: The overall infrastructure for my department is quite good but it could be much better. Our department library has mostly all the required books and materials and teachers are also helpful. However, the classroom and hostel facility needs improvement.
Faculty: The teachers are really helpful and knowledgeable in my course and their teaching quality is also commendable. The course curriculum is quite relevant and exams are also conducted timely. However the result declaration takes a lot of time which needs to be improved.
Other: I chose this course because I was always interested and passionate about studying Economics and it aligns with my career goals as well. I believe it will grant me with skills and knowledge required for my future opportunities. There are many events organised occasionally in our department which helps us grow personally and professionally.

Satisfied with the professors, library environment, and the curriculum.
Placements: The placement process is being developed day by day. Even two of my good friends got placed in ICICI bank this time. Apparently, many others got placed in different places, such as HDFC Bank, International schools, etc. Studying in Cotton University will give you a better chance for placement.
Infrastructure: The economics department is one of the best departments in the university. Facilities are good and professors are very friendly. Software knowledge such as Stata and R is also provided in the department. If one has a keen interest in research, then also CU is one of the best options in Assam.
Faculty: Professors are helpful and knowledgeable. Teaching quality is also good. The course curriculum is good, focusing on both theories and mathematics. If one studies well, he/she can easily score a good CGPA. Everything is fine. If you are interested in the research field, then it's also good to be at Cotton University.

Really good infrastructure and the best campus life for university students.
Placements: Placements are given for professional courses such as media and technology. For general courses, placements are very rare, to say the least. Very renowned companies across the city come to the University to provide placements. Many students from our course have received placements.
Infrastructure: The departments of all the subjects are neat and clean. The library is very peaceful and one of the best places to study in the college. The canteen food is average. Sports and games can be played in the indoor stadium of the university. Classrooms are fine.
Faculty: The faculty is very helpful and provides notes for exams. The pass percentage of the university is 100% most of the time. The teachers are highly qualified and knowledgeable. Exams conducted are not based solely on bookish knowledge but also include general knowledge.

The Best Govt University in Assam is Cotton! Best place to explore the political Or cultural fields.
Placements: Unfortunately, the placement cell was inactive until 2023. I was in the Economics department. Psychology and a few other departments started getting internships (both paid and unpaid) from the 5th semester onwards. Most of the students from my batch got placed in HDFC Bank in the last semester.
Infrastructure: The department has been trying its best to expand its materials in the depth library. There are not enough classrooms for the students pursuing Masters. Plus, the rooms are too small with a capacity of around 30 students. Hostels have a good environment.
Faculty: I was an enthusiastic student taking part in varsity selection protests everything but the previous HOD was against it. Luckily, the new HOD supports students to go beyond studies! The 3rd sem was the most difficult Of all! So will be the 1st sem if you're from a CBSE background.
Other: Campus life was good. You'll find mostly selection candidates And hostellers “appealing” Canteens are good too. The placement cell had been inactive until now. Varsity week is the biggest festival along with daily music fests!
