Kind of satisfied with the college and the faculty, everything is balanced as of now.
Placements: The direct placements from this course are almost zero. One has to have great skills to get a job directly after a UG degree here. Although the college has a placement cell, it also guides the students to have their dream job ahead and be successful in life. There is no such campus recruitment.
Infrastructure: The facilities provided in classes are good. The infrastructure and college campus are good as well. There are many new facilities provided in the college, and it’s quite good. The classrooms are good. But there is no hostel for the college students. If you want to study here, there is no option for a hostel.
Faculty: The teachers here are one of the best in the state, they are highly qualified and knowledgeable as well. The teaching quality here is great. The course curriculum is relevant as well, it’s not just book knowledge—they provide a lot of information and skills which make a student industry-ready. The semester exams are quite difficult, although the pass percentage is high.
Other: Studying here at Guwahati, it is one of the best colleges here, so it was kind of obvious to select the college, the campus is quite small, and the campus life is boring as well. I think an improvement there would be great. If you are coming for campus life and events, it’s almost zero here.

Please do not take admission in my college.
Placements: The percentage of students in my course is 1,350. No package offered by the college, no companies are available in our course. We can get many internships from our course, like Banks, CA firms, Management, digital data, and many more, however, no top roles are offered in our college.
Infrastructure: We have a library, but fewer books are available there. Wi-Fi only for union body, staff, and teachers, the quality of canteen food is okay, not good, no medical facilities available in the college, but near our college. A government hospital is available, but not in the college.
Faculty: 2 to 3 teachers are good, but not all of they do not know how to talk with students and how to behave. They do classes like schools, 9 am to 2 pm, and they hold exams like we are aspirants, the passing percentage is 5 CGPA, I guess, but some teachers are very good and help us.
Other: I chose this course for banking knowledge, and if we know from the 1st stage about banking or finance, it will help us to crack the banking exams. It would be better if we got many internships related to our course.

Review of Kokrajhar Government College.
Placements: There is no placement for students, they have to find internships for themselves. There is no college support, and no company comes for jobs. Students passing out only have a degree, nothing else. People here are only for the degree, not for any placement or something, so don’t expect placement or internship.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is very good. Nearby is the railway station and bus station. There is no college hostel available, but there are private PGs which are good, though they charge extra. The food in the canteen is good, and you can get everything you want. Classrooms have digital boards, and Wi-Fi is available all over the campus.
Faculty: Teachers are very helpful, and the number of teaching staff is very good. They help you with everything. The teachers are very qualified and have vast knowledge of the subject. The course is currently very up to date with the university, and the principal is very good.
Other: I passed out this year in April. I will miss my college, especially the fests, which were the best part of it. If you belong to a non-general or BPL category, you can get a scholarship.

The oldest engineering college of the Northeast has a great legacy.
Placements: Many reputed companies like OIL, NRL, Vedanta, L&T, Ashok Leyland, and many more visit the campus for placement drives and select students with good academics and the required skills. Approximately 50 to 60% students get placed. Almost all students with a good CGPA get internships in many reputed companies/PSUs like OIL, IOCL, NRL, APDCL, POWERGRID, and many more.
Infrastructure: AEC has well equipped classrooms, labs, workshops, a library, and a canteen. There are 8 boys hostels and 1 girls hostel with good Wi-Fi facilities. The sports culture is good on campus. AEC also provides transportation facilities. Many sports events take place throughout the year. Inter Hostel Tournaments also take place.
Faculty: Teachers are helpful, highly qualified, and knowledgeable. The course curriculum is relevant as per industry needs, which makes the students ready for jobs, along with good communication and leadership skills. Exams are fairly structured, focusing on conceptual clarity rather than wrote learning.

I am average satisfied with my college experience so far.
Placements: There is no such thing called placements in our college. It is not a university, of course. No internship is there for us or any other individual regarding this course because it is only a normal bachelor's course and not some NIT or IIT thing, so no such thing.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi and labs are not available for our course. Classrooms are available. The library is also available. The quality of food is average. Medical facilities are not up to the mark. Sports and games rarely take place on the campus, or you can say only on special occasions.
Faculty: Teachers are helpful, but sometimes do not respond at all. They are highly qualified and knowledgeable. They are from top universities and institutions. Teaching quality is also good. It doesn't make the students industry-ready at all. Semester exams are quite difficult. Pass percentage is 95%.
Other: I chose this course as I love this subject and like to know about society.
