Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) - Batch of 2022

Offered by Barnagar College

4.4

3Placements4Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

An overwhelming experience with nature and studies.

Placements: It offered Bachelor's degrees, and it provided no such provisions for placements. Students were expected to find suitable job opportunities on their own, and most of them went for teaching jobs, and some went for higher studies, like an MA. The college provided counselling sessions for its students to guide them in their future endeavours.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure and overall ambience of the college were very good. The campus was in the midst of nature, which provided a very pleasant environment for studying. The labs, classrooms and libraries were well maintained. Some of the classrooms were still in a transition phase from old to new smart classrooms.

Faculty: As a student of English department, my mentors were very supportive and had a very strong understanding of the subject. They strived to teach us everything that would be needed for our future endeavours, be it teaching others, higher studies or research work. Coming to the other faculty members and departments, hearing from my friends from other departments, I assume they are very supportive as well.

Other: The campus can be overwhelming, and the natural beauty may bind you, but focus on your studies instead of passing time on campus, e.g., the auditorium, canteen, etc.

Master of Laws (LL.M.) - Batch of 2023

3.4

4Placements4Infrastructure3Faculty3Crowd & Campus Life3Value for Money

Reference volumes, legal case studies, and every resource are available in our library itself.

Placements: Law firms like Vahura, Trilegal, and ETIG are some of the recruiters that hired students with a starting package that ranges from 2.9-3.4 LPA, which would be increased based on our performance. Internship and other workshop classes are planned in the early part of the final year, with and without a stipend.

Infrastructure: It is mandatory to follow the dress code suggested by the management, especially for the law. Moot court halls and other research rooms are initiated on the campus. For any references, legal case studies, and other volumes, all the resources are available in the campus library.

Faculty: Active practitioners in legal fields are invited at least once a month to provide any demo sessions for practising. But our professors are not well-educated and updated with current case studies. They are approaching others to learn about such stuff.

Bachelor of Commerce (B.Com.) - Batch of 2024

Offered by Pragjyotish College

3.2

1Placements3Infrastructure4Faculty3Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

Absolutely dissatisfied because of no placements provided, overall, good infrastructure.

Placements: No placements provided by the college, as the college is a government college, but the commerce department is not funded by the government, it's privately funded, and so the college doesn't offer any placement opportunities, as no companies participate here for hiring because the college doesn't offer any such opportunities or doesn't meet the requirements for this.

Infrastructure: The college offered pretty decent facilities like Wi-Fi, classrooms, a library, basketball courts, a canteen, parking facilities, and a volleyball court as well. The quality of the canteen is very good as there are many dishes served along with a live Maggi and coffee centre by Nestle just next to the library.

Faculty: The teachers are helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable in their respective domains. The quality of teaching is good. Semester exams are held by the University itself, and the pass percentage is also held by the university. 30 percent each semester you need to attain 27 marks for the written out of 80, and the remaining 20 marks, one for practical and the other for live project given on different problems related to the choice of honors.

Other: Since I have an interest in commerce, I opt for this, events and fests are held twice a year, in mid-September and in November.

The college is average. The course that I am pursuing is very costly

Placements: The percentage of students placed in my course is 50 percent. The top recruiting companies for my course are Deloitte and the Big 4. The top roles offered in my course are finance management, accountants, auditors, etc. The highest package is 3 LPA the lowest is 50,000, and the average package is 1 LPA. About 10 percent of students got internships from my course in small CA firms.

Infrastructure: The facilities for the course are average. The classrooms are good, and the labs are also good. The library is very good because the books they have are excellent. The quality of the hostel facilities is good, and the food they provide is average.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. The teaching quality is good. However, the course curriculum is not useful and does not make students industry-ready. The semester exams in the college were good, and the passing percentage is 30 percent.

M.A. in Mathematics - Batch of 2020

3.4

3Placements4Infrastructure3Faculty4Crowd & Campus Life3Value for Money

I chose M.A. in Mathematics instead of M.Sc. in Mathematics.

Placements: The succession in the rate of placements falls below 65% for the discipline of mathematics. The placement team decide which student can participate in which company drives. The median salary package offered to the hired talents in our discipline was below 4 LPA.

Infrastructure: Gawhati University is a popular university and produces thousands of talents in every single new batch. Along with the highly spacious mess, a cafeteria is also present. The arrangements of alumni gatherings every year create a higher reach to the university. The addition of sports is a necessary physical activity in their schedule.

Faculty: The course syllabus included 21 papers, with five papers per semester, with four main papers and one elective paper in each semester. All those will be a mixture of basic Maths topics, and the question papers are created by the faculty members, making them more critical by varying the values.

Good placements in the upcoming years.

Placements: In civil engineering, minimum placement percentage is 30 to 40%. The highest package is around 8-10 LPA. Top recruiting companies are L&T, Oil, etc. Internship percentage is 40-50%. Average package offered for a civil engineer is 5-6 LPA. The lowest package is around 3 LPA.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is neither good nor bad compared to other colleges. It is average. Since it is the first engineering college of the North-east, the infrastructure should be top-notch. Labs are available, and the lab teachers are very experienced.

Faculty: The teachers are very helpful. They give us quality education. They also provide the relevant notes, clearing every single doubt. In this course, we not only gain theoretical knowledge but also practical knowledge. There are lab classes for maximum subjects. If we follow the class notes and notes provided by respected teachers, then we can easily pass the exam.

Other: There are lots of clubs like music, quiz, drama, sports, etc. For extracurricular activities, there is also an annual fest called Pyrokinesis. Various government and private scholarships are also provided for the students.
