College is fun. Whatever you want, you will get in college. Just enjoy.

Placements: 70 percent of students from our college are placed. Many went for an MBA, research, Ph.D., and some went for government exam preparation. The average package is 18 LPA. For my branch average package is 16 LPA, and the placement percentage is about 66 percent. All the top companies that you think will be present.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure and facilities available here are quite good. You will get Wi-Fi in class room, lecture hall, labs, and library. You will have a reading room in your respective hostel, also with full AC and Wi-Fi. Hostel food is okay, not that great, and the washrooms for a few hostels are neat and clean, while for some are dirty.

Faculty: Teaching, I can't say it is fully useful as it follows the old curriculum, which is not as useful for current industry needs. But the teachers are highly qualified and have a lot of knowledge. Semester exams are a mix of easy and tough exams. Some professors are very chill, and some are so strict that they fail half of the class.

Other: This course is good. Events and festivals in our college are the best part, and you will get a lot of such activities happening every months and after a while you will get bored with all those things.

Outstanding campus life with satisfactory placements and nice infrastructure.

Placements: In 2025, the placement percentage of my branch (Chemical Science and Technology) is about 81 percent. The highest package is 85 LPA, the lowest is 8 LPA, and the average is 21 LPA. Companies like Google, Microsoft, Infosys, Tata, etc., offer jobs to us. Around 50 percent of students of each batch get an internship, but it primarily depends on an individual's skills.

Infrastructure: There is an academic complex consisting of 5 different scores numbered from 1 to 5. The campus is 700 acres with a central library, 5 lakes, 2 guest houses, 13 active hostels, and 1 closed hostel. The classrooms have proper sitting arrangements, AC, Wi-Fi, plug-in boards, and lots of other facilities.

Faculty: The teachers have a doctorate in their respective fields, they are highly knowledgeable, and they teach really well. The course curriculum is relevant to make students industry-ready. There are 2 exams in one semester, the first is mid-semester and the second is end-sem. The exams are easily crackable with some effort. The pass percentage is above 90 percent.

Other: I had so much interest in Chemistry class 8th, analyzing chemical relations and equations. Because of this interest in Chemistry, I took Chemical Science and Technology as my branch at IIT Guwahati. I think with knowledge of chemistry, they should increase technical subjects in this course.
