It is really quite good.

Placements: Around 50 to 55% of students were placed in our course. They offered nothing in our course. No one got internships from our course in any companies. Top roles offered in our course are teacher and professor.

Infrastructure: Our education department classroom is not too good and it is small. Fan and light are also poor. Hostel facilities are good and food is available like price, dal, etc. In canteen, fast food is available. I do not know about medical facilities. Sports and games are organised like kabaddi, football, basketball, and volleyball.

Faculty: I don't know about other departments but our education department teachers are quite interesting in teaching. This course curriculum is relevant. It also makes students industry-ready. Semester exams are not too difficult, and I think pass mark is 40.

Other: I chose this course because in the future I want to become a professor. The best thing about our course is the presentation. Everything is perfect. They celebrate every festival.

Students have actively participated in sports and games and secured prizes. Our department has MOU signed with Arya Vidyapeeth College for five years. On the basis of this, student exchange and faculty exchange programs are carried out from time to time.

Infrastructure:

Faculty: Computer labs have Wi-Fi for academic purposes. The department has a mini library with textbooks and reference books for higher secondary and degree-level students. There is a provision for tutorial classes in the department. Mentoring and counseling are also being provided to students.

Other: National Cadets Corps (NCC) at Pragjyotish College has a rich history across its Army, Naval, Air, and Girls' Company. It is marked by significant achievements and contributions to national events and student leadership. Every year, the department organizes a popular talk by some renowned resource persons and quiz competitions on the occasion of World Philosophy Day. Further, the department publishers departmental publication Dristi every year. Besides, a wall magazine named Vision is also published by the department with the writing of students. Seminars and interaction programs are organized regularly for students.

Review of Pragjyotish College.

Placements: The college has a career counseling cell and, from time to time, collabs with different organizations and organizes counseling programs. Internship programs are also organized by tie-ups with renowned institutes. Placement offers are not guaranteed here.

Infrastructure: The classrooms of our department were good, and seating capacity was adequate. The classrooms had projectors and white boards. There was also a dedicated lab and library for our department. The college only has a girls hostel; many of my friends stay there, and according to them, the hostel is above average. Food quality is average, and there is a running water supply.

Faculty: The teachers mostly held a Ph.D. They were very knowledgeable and some were very well aware of how to address a students problem. They had good insight and expertise in the subject matter and tried to explain and resolve students' doubts. The course was according to the curriculum provided by the Gauhati University. And was well enough to help a student gain insights into the subject and gain their knowledge. The exams were held by the Gauhati University and the exams were somewhat tricky and mostly conceptual. The papers are sometimes a bit too long, and sometimes some general knowledge is also required to answers them. One can pass the exam with some effort and study but to score well, they have to be persistent.

Other: The course I opted for was for geography, as I was an aspirant for civil services. The department offered good infrastructure and tools in the subject and had its own laboratory and library, which is, to be honest, a good one—not the best but above most of the other colleges. The course somewhat needs to address what is required in real life in practical terms, not something only good on the paper. The college hosted a couple of events time and again, starting from the freshers meet in September to the annual college week in March. In between multiple events and fairs are organized by different organizations of the college.

The college is average. It isn't that good for placements, but you can go for a general course.

Placements: The college doesn't provide any courses that provide placements. It is a region where the administration needs to work hard. Placements should be made an area of diligence here. Otherwise, other courses are quite good.

Infrastructure: The canteen needs to be more hygienic. The quality of the food is also not up to the mark of healthy. Sometimes it is too oily, and at times it is undercooked. There should be a better laboratory for practical classes. Wi-Fi is still not accessible to many students. Extracurricular activities should be made available to the students.

Faculty: Teachers are like guardians to us, and they are always ready to help us in the course. They motivate us much for everything. The quality of teaching is far better than other infrastructure of the college. The pass percentage is good. However, more emphasis should be given.

Other: The best course here is BA in anthropology. Faculty members are very good and helpful. There are not many fests and events for students, which should be increased.
