My review about this college.

Placements: Value-based higher education was the aim of the college. There was the department of placement. They provided great opportunities to their students. There were internships for the students to grow. They also provided jobs and placements for their students. Many firms come and recruit students. Many students take part in the placement program and enhance their skills.

Infrastructure: The course was among one of the oldest offered by the university which was a plus as the department was well-established. The course was well researched. The course was well designed to fulfill the needs of an M.A. program. The food was good, the water was available non-stop but electricity was sometimes going off. You had to apply to get into the hostel for girls hostel. It was very difficult to get into the first year as compared to boy hostels.

Faculty: Former faculty members were alumni from prestigious universities like Cambridge University. Faculty members had received Padmashree Award, Fulbright Fellowship, Chancellor, Overseas Non-President Award, and also faculty consisting of writers, poets, and critics. Great sources of inspiration were always there. Like to study the distribution of population and resources in different regions on the earth's surface as well as the case and its effect on both man-made and natural occurrences. Teachers were also very good and excellent at teaching. The course was very interesting if we liked to study, it was not difficult to pass.

Other: We could apply for the scholarships but the college did not provide scholarships for students. We had to apply it online through NSP.

My college offers an excellent learning environment and high experienced faculty members.

Placements: A good number of companies offer internships for students. Salesforce is one such company that provides internships with a stipend of Rs. 70,000 per month. Projects are done by students based on several web development applications. Students are free to explore their skills and do projects in their specialised fields. These projects add great value to their resumes.

Infrastructure: I am still in my first year, but for my first year, it seems better than I expected. Many people do not like it, but I do not see any bad intentions in this college. Activities and programs they do are good. The library, cafeteria, and classrooms are good. It is good to hang around when we do not have any class or when we get a break. Especially the campus has two basketball courts, so it is nice to hang around.

Faculty: There are well-experienced faculty members who provide resources to students. They are quite approachable. They are not too top-notch and also not unskilled. It all depends on students how they utilise them, and their resources. Exams are often conducted to test our abilities, and the difficulty level is medium. Around 10% of students fail to clear semester exams.

NEHU- A central university of northeast India with heavenly natural beauty.

Placements: The B.Tech, M.Tech, and MBA departments have gotten placements from various companies with an average of 6 lacs and more per annum package.
