The environment of Assam and the people (faculty and other staff) make it a blissful education.
Placements: To be honest, placement as such does not happen in a design school, you either get a job through your works on your portfolio (uploaded in the institute's website as a whole with every student of the every branch) or you get an internship. Rest assured, you won't sit around without a job after college.
Infrastructure: Classrooms and hostels are top-notch. Cleanliness to an extent also depends on us. Campus is fully Wi-Fi equipped. Food in the mess is varied and of good quality. Very hospitable mess staff. Always has food ready for the sick separately.
Faculty: Teachers are like mentors here. Very approachable but you have to approach them. They won't run behind you. You get help in every way possible. No one in here is with an unhelpful attitude. Much credit to such humble teaching and non-teaching staff.
Other: Being a new campus, it is still developing and growing.
