B.E. in Electrical Engineering - Batch of 2029
Offered by Assam Engineering College

It has an average infrastructure with a decent placement scenario.
Placements: Students from core branches are usually the ones with better on-campus placement scenarios. In this college, PSU companies hire students in top roles such as management, executive engineers, software developers, and various other core-related roles.
Infrastructure: Basic facilities such as Wi-Fi, old labs, and properly lit classrooms are available. There is no proper and highly functional library. The new library is under construction. Sports facilities are poor as of now, but new facilities such as an indoor badminton stadium are to be opened soon. Big playgrounds for football are available. A proper canteen is available. There are fair enough hostel rooms.
Faculty: Teachers are highly qualified. It is easy to interact with young assistant professors. Senior professors are somewhat polite but may be found to be insolent sometimes. Overall, teachers are fine. The current curriculum they follow is NEP 2020, which makes it easier for students to study from an internet platform. Semester exams are moderate, and students have an average pass percentage.
Other: I chose this course (EE) because it has a very vast scope and a good placement scenario too. My keen interest in electrical engineering has made me choose it. Events are regularly conducted on the campus by various groups. Clubs are actively participating in events.

B.E. in Electrical Engineering - Batch of 2029

Average hostel life and below-average mess food in 1st year hostels.
Placements: Mostly PSUs and core companies visit for placements of electrical students. Recruiting companies are Vedanta, BELL, ONGC, and BPL are some core companies. Most of the hiring is from Vedanta for EE and mechanical students. Some IT companies include Wipro, Infosys, and start-ups.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure 1st year hostels is good but hostel 7's infrastructure is not impressive. It's an old-fashioned building but compared to the hostel, the mess staff and warden in hostel 7 are ahead and you have a pretty chill environment in 1st year. You've only 1 girls' hostel which is near the main building.
Faculty: Semester exams are relatively easy in 1st year if you have a strong basis of class 11 and class 12 and also the JEE parts which are not in the NCERT. In 1st year, you got chill professors (not all, though but most of them are chill), especially the Maths department.

B.Com. in Accountancy - Batch of 2028
Offered by West Guwahati Commerce College

The practical choice for accounting: Good placements but needs better engagement.
Placements: It's about more than 50 percent of students got placed from my course. The highest package offered is more likely to vary from 3 LPA to 5 LPA and the lowest can be decent around 1.2 LPA. There are some well-known recruiting companies for my course like Tata Motors, Puma, Bajaj Finance, Muthoot, etc. A good percentage of interested students get their internships easily. The top roles offered for my course are junior account.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is pretty good compared to other colleges with well-organised classrooms and Wi-Fi facilities. There is a well-organised library with a full stock of knowledge regarding every field in this stream. There is no hostel facility but there is a decent canteen for students to get beverages. The medical facilities are also good. I believe there is a lot of development needed in the college campus design and the canteen infrastructure along with regular sports and games schedules.
Faculty: The teaching quality is decent. They are knowledgeable but the teaching quality is not that good. The co-curriculars are relevant and do make students industry-ready. The college exams are engaging and come under strict supervision which can be challenging for many students to improve themselves.
Other: I chose this course as I want to specialise in accounting and have a dream of becoming a CA. I believe the teaching quality of the teachers and the campus infrastructure could improve a little. If possible there should be more options available in the canteen menu. Events and fests should be held more occasionally with clear guidelines under the surveillance of teachers who are well organised and truly supportive of students regarding scholarships.

Review of Assam Engineering College.
Placements: Most students are placed in my course. The average package is 6 LPA, with a maximum of 24 LPA and a minimum of 4 LPA. Overall, the placement environment is good. All students need to do is focus on their skills and improve them, and a good CGPA is also very important in placement. Companies like PSU, IOCL, NRL, and L&T recruit.
Infrastructure: We have almost all the facilities in our college, including the gym (temporarily closed though for an uncertain period of time), library ( Men at work), computer lab, machine lab, embedded systems lab, and all other department labs. We also have a park and a canteen. Recently, in 2026, our canteen has been under Fat Belly, due to which the food quality is very good.
Faculty: Teachers are very helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. The course curriculum is relevant. Exam difficulty depends on the student and the exam, as well as how well you prepared yourself for the exam. The semester exam is not so easy, but if you prepare for the exam, then it becomes quite easy to pass.

You will never regret taking admission here.
Placements: There are approximately 60 percent of students who get placements in my course. The highest package is 25 LPA, and the lowest one is 10 LPA. Wipro and Reliance recruit from campus. 100 percent of students got internships, but I'm not sure about the companies. Web developer is the top role provided till today, I guess.
Infrastructure: College Wi-Fi is available. Labs are well developed, but some lab equipment is old. Most classrooms have AC and a good environment. All the needed books are available in the library, but they are limited, so not everyone can get them. Hostels are well-architected with Wi-Fi facilities. Mess food is good in most hostels. Sports equipment is also provided by the superintendent. There are at least 2 playgrounds in every hostel.
Faculty: Teachers are very helpful and knowledgeable. The course curriculum is relevant and makes students industry-ready. There are clubs that prepare us for upcoming challenges. Exams' difficulty is moderate. The pass percentage is approximately 80 percent or above.
Other: I want a secure job, so I took admission in this course. The best thing about the course is the percentage of placements. They should increase the number of faculty members. Too many events like Pyrokinesis, and Spondone are held. There are too many sponsorships coming to our campus, e.g., Red Bull, HOK, etc.

I'm satisfied with education.
Placements: Everyone can come and take admission here. As it is a government college, the fee charges are not too high and are affordable for everyone. If anyone has an interest in business, they can join the BBA. No companies are involved.
Infrastructure: The library, labs, and classrooms were available in college. Classrooms were good with fans. Food was the same as in every hostel. I wasn't a hosteller, so I didn't know much about room quality, but from outside, everything looked fine. No medical facilities were provided, but the mess and canteens were clean.
Faculty: Teachers were highly qualified, and their way of teaching was simple so that everyone could understand. Exams were a bit tough, and the pass percentage was 33%. Professors were kind with no egoistic problem. The course curriculum was relevant, it made every student industry-ready, but the students must have an interest too. Professors were highly educated.
Other: As I had an interest in businesses, I chose BBA. From my perspective, the teaching style was simple and convenient. Events and festivals were celebrated very nicely. Scholarships were available for students till graduation.
