The professors teach students very well and I really appreciate that.

Placements: The placements are very good compared to other colleges. Companies like Goldman Sachs and DeShaw come for placement opportunities. There are about 75 companies visiting, offering over 200 jobs a year. The highest package would be 20 LPA and the average would be 8 LPA. 40 percent of students get placements. I plan on sitting for placements.

Infrastructure: The campus of Tezpur College is very small but has a very good environment. The library of this college is also very good. They provide AC in the library. They also held many festivals in a year. In those festivals, we can celebrate our culture and everything.

Faculty: There are about 1 faculty for every 40 students; therefore, the ratio is 1:40. All faculty have PhDs in their respective fields and are top researchers as well. Teachers are very approachable and inclusive for each student. The faculty members of our college are very good. They interact with students. They are also very friendly with students.

Guwahati university is the best university.

Infrastructure: The college infrastructure is very pretty; the rooms are always clean and hygienic, and the AC is always working. I personally like the sports complex; you can do anything there. There is also a good mess facility, as the food of the mess is delicious and tasty .

Faculty: The course of M.Sc. is so good as we have a good teaching environment in our college, as all the teachers are highly qualified, and some of them are Ph.D. holders. Also, the other way of teaching is super, as they easily explain everything. At the end of every semester, we have our exams .

Best College In Guwahati!

Placements: Our college is well known for its placement in our city. From the 3rd semester, students become eligible for campus placement. Companies such as Hetero and Aurobindo Pharma Industries visited our college during the placement session. Almost 80% of the students from our batch got placed in good companies with good salaries.

Infrastructure: Small fests are organized every month by the students of our college. The annual fest is conducted every year and is known as the biggest fest of our college. The campus is very big and beautiful. The hostels are within the college campus only, so you do not have to worry about going to classes. Also, there are many sports events that any student can join according to their interest.

Faculty: I chose this course because in recent times, Biotechnology is a growing sector, and in this field, you can pursue higher studies and secure a job. All the class teachers are Ph.D. holders and excellent in their respective fields. They were very helpful to us and assisted a lot in our studies. There are mainly semester exams, which are very difficult to pass.

Really good institute with well maintained environment.

Placements: There is no placement cell so no placement is provided by the college. The teachers help a lot to get an internship and also help in achieving one. One can go to research and development sector or any other industrial sector. There are private companies mostly that provide recruitment.

Infrastructure: There is Wi-Fi facility with well-equipped labs and library. Classroom have power point connection as well. The food in canteen are good but hostel mess food is not so good. Various sports are played and also there is sport club in the campus. Also there is a health care facility in the campus.

Faculty: The faculty provide very good guidance and also there teaching method is very good. The teacher are very highly qualified ones. Also there are certain workshop and programs apart from the classes. The level of semester exams are quite difficult as it is a higher education. There occurs mid semester exams of 20-25 marks in each of the subjects. The pass percentage of student is most of the times 100%. .

Other: I wish the practical periods should be extended a little. The course fascinated me as it is highly demanding subject. One can go to r&d sector, to pharma, food industry after pursuing degree in this course. The campus live is very enjoyable. There are different programs organized by the union body as well as departments. Scholarship from government can be achieved as well as every person in the canpus encourages to engage themselves in extracurricular activities.
