Overall, it's good but not excellent.
Placements: Placements were zero, undoubtedly because this batch doesn't have any job scope for which recruiters will come to us. As for companies, there's none. Percentage of internship, you can say we do get a lot of experiments but internships are not there, except we go outside for experiments.
Infrastructure: Hostel is not that good. Three students are to be fitted into a room where it's difficult to live, as for Wi-Fi there is no Wi-Fi. But there is Wi-Fi in the library and campus. There are games and sports facilities but limited. Food quality in hostel is not good either.
Faculty: There are indeed some good teachers but again mostly have done B.Ed before starting this course, since we barely have any job scope. Course curriculum is relevant to the exam and paper. But again, practical life utilisation might not be that good.

Assam University through my lens.
Placements: Nearly 70% of students got placed in this course In Assam University, the department of Life Science and Bioinformatics does not provide a lot of packages to students. There are less internship opportunities, but there is a chance of getting highly preferred jobs in the public as well as private sector.
Infrastructure: There are internet connection and labs in the department of Assam University. High-quality instruments are also available for doing research and dissertation work. Classrooms are very neat and clean. Infrastructure is also of good level. Central library provides a vast collection of Indian as well as foreign books for students to study. The food quality of canteen and hostel mess is also good.
Faculty: Teachers are very helpful and they help students in solving problems in a very easy manner. There are almost all NET/SLET/ GATE qualified teachers in the department. Students choose this course as it is a relevant one. Semester exams are a bit difficult and lengthy for the students. The pass percentage is nearly 95%.
Other: I chose this course as it is a very limited one. It is available only in a few universities in India. The best thing about this course is that it provides a good diversity of knowledge to students in the scientific aspect. I wish the pattern of the syllabus would be better in the near future . There are a lot of events that take place at Assam University, Silchar, such as Scientia, Auskriti, Gamosa, Sanskriti, etc. Students also enjoy them a lot.

I am dissatisfied because of zero placement in 2019.
Placements: Almost 50% of students were placed in our course. The highest salary offered was 1.5 Lacs per month, and the lowest salary offered was 20,000 per month. Teach for India and KV are top recruiting companies visited the campus. Teaching role is offered in our course. The highest salary package offered in our course was 1.8 LPA to 2 LPA. 1% of the students got an internship from our course
Infrastructure: Infrastructure facilities like Classrooms, Blackboard, Projector, Labs, Wi-Fi, are available for our course. In our hostel facilities like the quality of food, medical facilities, sports and games are good enough.
Faculty: They were helpful, qualified and knowledgeable. The teaching quality was good. The course curriculum is relevant. It makes the students industry-ready. It makes the students good enough for research purpose, teaching ability and overall enlighten us with good knowledge.
Other: This course is very good and full of scope, that's I have chosen this course. The best thing about the course is that it enlightens us with all the new discoveries and inventions. The latest updates are missing, which is one of the main things I wish would be better to include in our course. Events, fest and extracurricular are conducted. Scholarships are also available.

Review of Assam University, Silchar.
Placements: There is no big placement hunt for Life Science Department, but most of our seniors were doing a job in well-reputed companies because life science department gives students the ability to compete with anyone. It is one of the best department in Assam University.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the department is good enough, and it has almost all the facilities. Though there are some things which students might find not good like electricity issues, water issues but the rest is good. The building is created in a well-organised manner. It has 3 floors, and all the classrooms and labs are well-maintained.
Faculty: All our teachers are very helpful and interactive. They don't restrict their teaching up to syllabus. They go out of syllabus and teach lots of things for exams like NET. The best part about faculty members is they mostly don't follow books, and they only consult research papers. Syllabus of the life science department is an updated one, and it helps students in any modern and competitive exam.

A fairly arranged university.
Placements: Placed in Ajim Premji Foundation. The career placement cell is active in arranging campus recruitment programs for all disciplines. Patanjali, Wipro and different privatise banks participate in campus recruitment. Due to the remoteness of our university, fewer companies participate in the placement drive. The overall rating can said to be 4/10 in the context of placement.
Infrastructure: The nfrastructure facilities are average. Laboratories have all possible equipment but the power cut problem creates a hindrance. The central library and computer centre are fairly established. The school of technology and the management section are very equipped. There is a heath centre for the treatment of students and all teaching and non-teaching staff. There is no centralized canteen available.
Faculty: Almost all the faculty members are learned scholars with post-doctorate qualification. There are 39 departments with 8 undergraduate integrated courses. Starting from engineering to management, the faculty members are very helpful. Audio-visual learning along with chalk-talk facilities are available. The course curriculum stands useful in the greater field of life.
