Colleges in Tezpur

Sikkim Manipal University and Tezpur University are both prestigious universities located in the northeast of India. The undergraduate-level BSc course is available in both universities in a full-time mode. Candidates can compare both universities to know which is better for the BSc course: 

For B.Tech programs, Tezpur University (TU) generally offers a stronger overall academic and research environment, with better infrastructure and placements. Assam Science and Technology University (ASTU) might be a better choice if you're specifically seeking an engineering-focused environment, with potentially better placement opportunities in that area.

The most recent cutoff dates for Tezpur University's Integrated M.Sc. in Mathematics program for the 2025–2026 academic year are anticipated to be announced in mid-August 2025. The Common University Entrance Test (CUET) results serve as the basis for the cutoffs. The CUET score and other pertinent factors are taken into consideration when creating a merit list for admission.

Tezpur University generally offers better placement opportunities with higher median salaries (INR 6.96 LPA for UG) and top recruiters like Microsoft and Accenture. Assam Science and Technology University (ASTU) has solid placements, especially in the IT sector, but with comparatively lower salaries and fewer high-tier recruiters.

No, Section 3, the General Aptitude Test (GAT), in CUET is not compulsory overall. However, it is often a requirement for specific undergraduate programs at many participating universities, especially top-ranked ones like Delhi University (DU), Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), and Banaras Hindu University (BHU). Therefore, while not mandatory for all courses, it is highly recommended to prepare for and take the General Test, as it significantly enhances a candidate's chances of admission to many universities and programs. 

The closing date for admission to M.Sc. in Mathematics at Tezpur University is April 30, 2025. Admission to the programme is based on the Tezpur University Entrance Examination (TUEE), and applicants should possess a bachelor's degree with a minimum of 45% marks.

The cost of the M.Sc. in Mathematics course is around INR 10,000 to 20,000 per semester, considering several factors like course material and infrastructure. The course is spread over two years with both theoretical and practical aspects included to enable students to pursue higher studies or get employed in mathematics-related fields.

According to the information available on the official website of Shiksha, the average placement package offered to MBA graduates at SMIT Sikkim, Manipal University, is INR 4.8 lakh. On the other hand, the average package offered to MBA graduates at Tezpur University is INR 8 lakh.
