    Q:   How can I get admission for MBA at Guwahati University?
    A: 

    Gauhati University MBA admission is completely based on the merit scores obtained by students in the university/national-level entrance exam along with their merit at the undergraduate level. The university conducts its own entrance exam for admission. However, those with a valid score in national-level entrances, such as MAT/ CAT/ XAT/ CMAT exams are exempted from this test provided they have a score of 75 percentile and above. Those who qualify one of the afore-mentioned exams are required to go through a GDPI round for final selection. Before everything else, students must meet with the minimum eligibility criteria set by the university which is to pass a relevant undergraduate degree with at least 50% aggregate. However, those who are in the final year of their UG degree can also apply provided they have no arrears in the previous semesters and fulfill the complete eligibility before first semester exams.

    A home-like college you will feel in it.
    Placements: The percentage of students is around 55. The highest package you get is around 12 lpa, the average around 6 lpa, and the lowest around 4 lpa. Top recruiting companies are like IDBI Bank, Godrej, and Federal Bank. Roles offered in the course are like HR Manager, Assistant Manager, Branch Manager, etc.
    Infrastructure: The facilities and infrastructure are really amazing and good. Wi-Fi, labs, classrooms, and library are well-organized and very clean. You can access them at any time during the college time. The hostel environment is cool, and the wardens are very polite. Food is good and provided on time.
    Faculty: The faculty members are really helpful and good. They always have free time for the students whenever they are in any sort of doubt. The students learn a lot during the course and are very motivated towards their character. The semester exams are easy if you put good effort towards every subject. The pass percentage is 45.
    Other: I chose this course as it is a professional course, and this college provides much more knowledge helpful for your career growth. The things I feel can be improved are giving more time to classes. Events are held periodically and are conducted in a very decent and disciplined way.

    I want to say to my college - You are the most beautiful part of my life.
    Placements: They promise to give 100% placement, but many times students are not able to get placements as very few companies visit campus. However, at the college end, they try hard to provide everyone with placement opportunities. Recruiting companies include Airtel, Samsung, Hyundai, Hero, Amul, and Pepsi. The average salary is around Rs. 4.5 LPA, but we offer internships before placement to experience actual work life.
    Infrastructure: The campus is beautiful and socially vibrant, with everyone gathering from all departments at one time. The college is located on the roadside, so there is noise pollution, and there is no proper ground field on campus. The canteen inside the campus is not good, so we go outside for eating. Many books are available in the library, and classrooms are sufficient for students. Hostel seat capacity is not enough, so many student groups live in flats. Hostel rooms are furnished with a table, chair, and cupboard. Sports games are usually just before exams.
    Faculty: We have 26 faculty members in the management department and also visiting faculty members. The professors are very hardworking and sincere in their jobs. They are highly qualified and interactive. MBA at NERIMS is a 2-year course with four semesters. In the first and second semesters, we study core courses, and in the third and fourth semesters, we study specialization areas. Assessments come from faculty members, the college, and the university. Faculty exams are demo exams, while college exams consist of internal marks, and university exams are the most important with the highest weightage.
    Other: My batch consists of 52 students, of which 50 students passed and are now settled and busy with their personal lives. However, we enjoyed our college life like nobody else. Whenever I remember those days, my eyes fill with tears.

    Reason of choosing Guwahati University!
    Placements: Sadly, this year's placements were down due to several reasons, such as over-hiring during COVID. Most jobs are for sales profiles. Mahindra & Mahindra Limited hired 6 students as sales executives. Banks and companies are hiring less; ICICI Bank hired a few students for regional sales manager roles. The college allows internships after the second semester. Financial institutions like Kotak offer internships; I got one at Finderbridge Tourism. Internship packages start at 10k, with a salary package ranging from 5 LPA to a minimum of 2.2 LPA.
    Infrastructure: My college life is memorable, with plenty of greenery on campus. However, during the rainy season, there are floods and blockages. Since the college is government-funded, fees are not high, and the government provides scholarships ranging from 2 to 40 thousand. The college has a library with MBA academic books, reference books, and novels available. I stay in a PG, but the rent is very high. The rooms are often dirty and unpainted, making it difficult to study. The college does not provide medical facilities, but we excel in sports.
    Faculty: The college has some of the best professors and faculty members in the entire Northeast. Most of the teachers are alumni of IIMs and IITs. The curriculum is extensive, and there is limited time to cover it, making exam passing easy but scoring good marks challenging. Just studying from the book will help you pass.
    Other: Being a government college is a significant advantage; fees are lower, and even hostel fees are much less compared to private colleges.

    Management is good, quick decision is taken against any report they get.
    Placements: Almost 65% of the students got placement in 2020. About 10.5 LPA is the highest package and 2.5 LPA is the average package. The top recruiting companies were ICICI, Samsung, Airtel, Hyundai, Hero, etc. A total of 38 students got selected after participating out of 62. The top roles offered are HR and manager.
    Infrastructure: Facilities include a library, computer lab, bus and hostel service, students activities center, counseling cell, personality cell, educational loan, air-conditioner, Wi-Fi, etc. Hostels are shared with a maximum of 3 students. Rooms are well built and furnished. There is a bathroom attached to each room with running water 24/7.
    Faculty: Teachers are friendly. The curriculum meets our course of the exam. MBA is not that tough if one studies with patience and dedication. The pass percentage is about 80-85%. Majority of the faculty members are Ph.D. holders. The curriculum isn't well updated. Students of the final semester are taken on an industrial tour for 2 days. An internship opportunity for 1 month is mandatory for final semester students.
    Other: The reason I chose MBA is that I want to do my startup. It'll help me start my own digital marketing business. I'd suggest the authority, update the course for meeting the present market and business. The scholarship is available for the economically weaker class. Extracurricular activities like personality grooming are available. The campus is clean as well with ATM nearby.

    I am satisfied with our department.
    Placements: Around 70% of students got placed. The average salary package ranged from around 5 to 6 LPA and 12 LPA being the highest. Federal Bank, HDFC, Bandhan Bank, Asian Paints, Dalmia, Horeca, and Marico were some of the recruiting companies. All the students got summer internships with the help of the placement and training cell.
    Infrastructure: The course provides dual specialisation in Marketing, Finance, and HR. Classrooms are updated with all digital features as smart rooms, auditorium, department library, hall, recreation room, and case study are there with Wi-Fi connectivity. Hostel facilities are available. Accommodation in a hostel is good and satisfactory with Wi-Fi facilities.
    Faculty: Faculty are highly educated and experienced with practical approaches. Teaching quality is good. The pass percentage is 40% including internal and written examinations. Department holds the dignity of organising various seminars, case studies, and field trips for the benefit of students.
