Our college is so great.
Placements: In my course like 60 percent or above can get it. In our course, the best is about business. In our college, everyone can get internships. There's no percentage of what our teachers give. We do have internships like teaching in other schools. We do have many roles, etc.
Infrastructure: Our college has many facilities like hostel, canteen, gym, garden, fields, labs, library, and many other things. In hostel, we have a small garden and we enjoyed a lot with our hostel mates and with seniors too. Our college canteen is also good.
Faculty: Our teachers are kind and friendly. They teach us so well. They let us know ourselves what if we face problems, and they teach us again and again. Our semester exams are easy. But if we don't study, it will become hard for us.
Other: I chose B.Com course because I want to become a good banking manager. I want to look after my family, and I want to help them because they care about me from little to today and tomorrow too.

A good college and worth studying.
Placements: In BBA LL.B., there are A and B sections. In each section there are around 60 students. We can apply for an internship from the 1st semester, but did not mention the company and the roles offered. Most student do not start their internship in 1st semester. Mostly, after the 3rd semester, students will start to apply. For an internship, we need to write an application and submit it to the institution's office.
Infrastructure: The building is good, but we don't have a campus to roam around. Only the building itself is where we can spend our days and even take a break. There is no canteen to eat at, but we can eat at a nearby restaurant. We have a library with AC. No place for sports and games, but we used to have moot court, debate, etc. We don't have a hostel, we have to stay at the nearby PG or rent a house.
Faculty: The teachers are helpful, friendly, qualified, and knowledgeable. The semester exams are average, not that hard, not that easy. We face exams for 80 marks, and we get marks according to our performance, it's fair. The pass percentage is also average, it will not be 100 percent, but it's average.

A maximum of students get internship in the Power Grind company. Top roles are like Executive Engineer, Manager, in different types of companies.

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.

The college is good for quality studies, but it is not for sports advancement.
Placements: In B.Com from KC Das, I think there are not many placement offers. For good placements, M.Com can help for better offers. I also don’t know much about it as I am a 1st sem B.Com student. I like the college for studies only. Being an Assamese government college, the fees are also very low, and you have to score more than 80% to get admission in it..
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is also kind of average. In the class, there are 6 fans and a screen TV for studies. The classroom is also kind of average, but the studies from the experienced teachers you will get is kind of worth it. So, you can take the college in KC Das.
Faculty: In KC Das, the faculty teachers are good and very friendly. The exams and courses are also useful. The faculty of management is very experienced and very friendly. There, you can choose your mentor so that you are guided by the teachers in the college.
Other: KC Das is a college where the infrastructure is kind of average, but the quality of studies is very good.
