    Wonderful campus life, hardworking teachers but reluctant placement cell about masters students.
    Placements: About 70% of students are placed, mostly engineering students in various industries like IT sector, electronics, and some PSU sectors. The average salary is 5 LPA. Top companies like BPCL and L&T take part in the placement drive, but it lacks opportunities for M.Sc students.
    Infrastructure: Library is good with books covering all the courses but less number of books which leads to less holding time for books. The library is good and Wi-Fi facility in college is good. Sometimes creates trouble in the hostel. The mess food is not upto the mark but we can't expect more from a hostel.
    Faculty: Faculty members are helpful and encourage students. They are quite knowledgeable and they themselves study a lot. They are dedicated to their research study and work which leads to good exposure for students doing M.Sc and Ph.D. under their supervision. Semester exams are not very difficult and regular study for good marks is not a big deal.

    Between the mountains with supportive faculty members.
    Placements: The seats for M.Sc has increased to 20 students. We have supporting faculty members who encourage us in every aspect from career guidance to NET GATE. Edtech companies like Physics Wallah, Allen, etc., are engaged in hiring M.Sc students
    Infrastructure: The whole campus and hostel have Wi-Fi facilities available 24/7 which provides high internet speed. There is a library and also an e-library with Wi-Fi and you can access the computers and do your work. Hostel rooms are better than expected. The mess food is above average.
    Faculty: Teachers are highly qualified from prestigious institutes. They are also very supportive and kind towards the students. The course is very much similar to NET GATE syllabus. So I can prepare for both while studying for college. College exams are decent, almost everyone clear the paper.
    Other: I had an interest in it so I selected the course based on my JAM score. If they could reduce the fee for 2nd semester onward would be better. A beautiful college located in the mountains and everyone dreams of studying. I love this place and college.

    Placements: Some of the top recruiting companies in our batch were IBM, Power Grind, Microsoft, Tata, and Bosch. Most of the job roles offered to us were those of developers and testers. The highest package was by TRC of INR 45 lacs per annum. The average package in our batch was around INR 650000.
    Infrastructure: The campus was well-developed with Wi-Fi connectivity, spacious rooms, washrooms, a stocked library, an auditorium, and a hospital facility in case of need. A hostel facility is also available and the mess and canteen both have good, hygiene-quality food. We do have football, cricket, basketball, volleyball and badminton courts available.
    Faculty: The quality of teaching is good and the faculty members are quite qualified and, at the same time, quite helpful. They are ready to help and guide the students whenever required. The courses are quite relevant and interesting. The passing percent is 90% and semester-wise exams are held.

    Placements: Almost 50% of the students got placement in our course from college. The salary offered is approximately Rs. 20,000 to 50,000 per month. ONGC is a very good company for our course.

    It is the best college to gain knowledge.
    Placements: There are placement offers in our college and companies visit here regularly. But most of the students prefer higher education rather than a job, and they seldom accept the offers. The salary offered ranges from Rs. 20,000 per month. Chemical companies and coaching institutes are the mass recruiter of this college who offers a job. Many students got an internship in a different institute during their M.Sc.
    Infrastructure: It is a left out campus of NEHU, and one of the most renowned universities in Northeast. The new and permanent campus is under construction in Sohra, Cherrapunchi. Hostel and food are good, but some people might disagree. We have a sports meet and games which is thrilling and fun. Wi-Fi is very good. Labs are neat and clean, and it has needed equipment, but they are small. Classrooms are smart.
    Faculty: Teachers in our college are the main attraction of the campus. All of them are very friendly and well-knowledgeable. They did their PhD and post-doctorate from renowned universities of all around the world. Their teaching is a wonder. The course curriculum is based on the NET and GATE. They made the syllabus in such a way that it will help us to crack NET and GATE exams as those exams determine our future.
    Other: I have chosen chemistry because it is life for me. I always liked labs and experiment. The curriculum is perfect, and there is nothing to improve. But the college should give fewer holidays which would be good. The campus is small, so we have limitations in conducting events. Still, they conduct good annual festivals, convocations and tech fests.

    Satisfied with the administration and their attitude towards the safety and upliftment of students.
    Placements: There are no placements for M.Sc. in our college. Even if the placements are provided sometimes, it is very difficult to sit for the drive because we have to compete with B.Tech students. I heard that there are placements for B.Tech students, especially for the ones in ECE and CSE departments.
    Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is bad, and the college is still run on the temporary campus. I don't know when the college will be shifted to the permanent campus in Sohra. The canteen is very small compared to the number of students on the campus. The condition of the mess hall for students is pathetic, with no water facility sometimes.
    Faculty: Though the faculty members are well qualified, they lack experience, and so their teaching is not up to the mark. The faculty members try their best to complete the syllabus instead of knowing whether the students understood it or not. The faculty members are very open to students and always welcome them for discussions. The level of research is very good.
    Other: The college conducts two events, one is a cultural fest known as Shishir and a technical fest known as Cognitia.
