Satisfied with faculty, good infrastructure and facilities, beautiful campus.
Placements: Actually, I am a masters student, therefore, we couldn't receive more placement facilities on the campus because only for 25-35 students, reputed companies were not able to come. In our 2-3 senior batches, only a few students got a chance to get placed with 25000 to 30000 as the average salary. I don't know more about companies which visited our campus, but several NGOs had visited previously. For our batch placements, placement coordinators were planning to invite more than 100 companies into our campus for masters students but due to the small number of students, we have to collaborate with Guwahati TISS ( TATA INSTITUTE OF SOCIAL SCIENCE) for invites jointly. The 30% of masters students got the internship from the college while others found it themselves, but I don't know about B.Tech and M.Tech students. The stipend offered was from 6000 to a maximum of 25000.
Infrastructure: Facilities available on our campus were very good and satisfactory. We have a LAN connection in each and every room in hostels. 24-hours water and electricity supply are available. Classrooms have lights and fans. There are 4 lecture hall with air-conditioners. Free medical facilities are there on the campus. External and internal bus services were there. The quality of labs is good with comfortable sitting arrangements and AC. The canteen food quality is good and open for a minimum of 15 hours in one day.
Faculty: Our department faculty members were very happy to help us and were up to date with current stories, qualified and knowledgeable. Most of them had done their PhD and now, they were engaging in writing blogs, articles, reports, research projects, etc. The teaching methods were good. They teach practically and rationally. We have to submit research projects, presentations and field surveys. Now onwards, our supervisors were giving us advice, study material, and they guide us for our dissertation which will have to submit in the last semester. We also have one faculty advisor for 4 students, we also can share a personal problem and course adjustment problems to them. The course curriculum provided was useful not only for the present but also for the future. We did not get any industry exposure.
