M.Sc. in Mathematics - Batch of 2018

5Placements5Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

My honest review of my college.

Placements: Our college provides us with the best and guaranteed job placements if we perform well in our course. We have an end number of options for job availability but for getting a better job, we do need good marks. Till now, I have not done any internship, but will be doing so soon maybe by the next year. My only focus is to study and get good scores.

Infrastructure: I did not get hostel accommodation but some of my friends got one. Hostels are super affordable and only 2k bucks a month for a room. Mess charges are around Rs. 2,000-3,000 but the mess facility is very good. Food is wholesome with lots of varieties. Both veg and non-veg options are available.

Faculty: In our college, faculty members are better than any other college. Teachers explain each topic so clearly that we don't have to learn maths. It is quite understandable in the classes itself. The course curriculum is quite up-to-date. Various mathematical methods being taught in the class are up to the mark. However, incorporating the use of technology can be highly beneficial because it can make things more streamlined and efficient. The course curriculum for the master of science is as per UGC though current topics are also taught in. The course curriculum not only covers university examinations but also helps students crack competitive exams like NET, GATE, etc. The whole curriculum is divided into four semesters.

M.Sc. in Geology - Batch of 2019

5Placements5Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

My honest review of this college.

Placements: Each of us was given proper training sessions and workshops to attend, which helped us to make our CV better through mock interviews. The department prepared us for better face-to-face real interviews in M.Sc. Zoology. Courses the students were given the opportunity to work in NGOs and schools. There were various companies, such as Oil and ONGC that offered internship opportunities along with other universities and colleges.

Infrastructure: There is no hostel facility in this college, but both girls and boys can find paying guests near the college at an affordable cost. The food differs from PG to PG because some are professional, and some are homely PGs, which provide very good food.

Faculty: My professors are great. Their way of handling things is outstanding and every time they helped us. According to me, my professors are good and clarify every doubt we have. I am indeed lucky to get caught by them. In terms of relevance, the well-designed curriculum provides students with practical knowledge and skills that we can apply in our future careers. This includes courses that address current trends, technology, and challenges in the field. The course curriculum is perfect for today's needs and it includes both theoretical as well as practical knowledge. As geology is a field science, it includes field trips to different parts of India. The course is designed keeping in mind the demand of industries as well as to fulfill the knowledge of research-oriented students.

Review of Handique Girl's College.

Placements: Since I'm a student over here so I don't know about placement or job opportunities. If anyone wants to know about job opportunities then one can contact our college authority, through them you will have all the adequate information you need. Companies don't come over here for job placement but seminars are organized by different groups for the student's benefit. To sit in the placements we have to qualify for an exam, only after clearing the exam you can sit for different placements. First, the interview is taken by the university and then by the company representative for hiring.

Infrastructure: The course is helpful for the student but more practical work must be required. The syllabus is vast in comparison to the duration of time. Therefore more practical implantation is required. The exam structure is good. I am not living in a college hostel so I don't have any idea about it. But from my acknowledgment, I can say that the college hostel is strict and it's very good for the undergraduate students but it's not possible for the postgraduate students to live there because it doesn't bear that study environment for postgraduate students.

Faculty: Teachers are too good. They help us a lot. They are very lovely. Protective and caring. They sold us if we did anything wrong just to make our future bright. It was very good as the teachers were also very helpful and they guided us a lot during this course. The course itself provides us with a master's degree in that particular subject which will help us to seek a job even more quickly at a higher post. Subjective. The exam was held by the Gauhati University. This college is fully affiliated with Gauhati University. The exam question papers are set by the University.

Overall, it is the best college for the M.Sc. in Zoology course.

Our library is very large on the south side of campus, and has a wealth of great books and knowledge. The mess food is also good. This college attaches great importance to sports.

Faculty: The most important thing is the teachers. I am so grateful to have great professors in this college, and they are so passionate about teaching students. They are all very qualified and knowledgeable. They educate for our future answers and make tasks important. The academic curriculum applies. Semester exams are easy, and the pass rate is 92%.

The college is filled with greenery, trees, grass, and a huge field.

Placements: From the 5th semester, students get internships and job opportunities. There are endless companies that visit the college every year. The highest package of this college is 40 LPA, and in this package, they provide transport and other facilities. Almost 80% of students get placed every year. My plan after my degree is to get placed in good company for my good future.

Faculty: The student-to-teacher ratio is 10:1 in the college. Teachers here are very kind as they clear all the doubts of academics and non-academics. Preethi mam was one of the most kindest and intelligent teachers out here. I did not like one teacher who was in the electronics department as he would not get us out of the classes, and he ran towards us to study all the time. Exams here are not difficult, and it is easy to moderate. It is good for practicing for semester exams.

Other: I also joined the red ribbon club in the college, where unity is the main motto and is represented by a red ribbon.
