Admission to this central government university in Assam is based on the JEE MAINS exam, followed by qualification through the JOSAA Counselling process. The university, known for its diverse and qualified faculty, faces a shortage in the ECE department, leading to guest faculty teaching many classes. The faculty-to-student ratio is 1:10, fostering good interaction. The fee structure is affordable, with annual tuition around Rs. 55,000 and additional hostel costs of Rs. 30,000 per year, making the total cost for a B.Tech degree approximately Rs. 3-4 lakhs.
Scholarships for economically disadvantaged students are available, but financial assistance overall is limited. The university offers strong placement programs with companies like Microsoft and HDFC Bank, with an average package of 8 lakh per annum and a maximum of 40 lakh. However, placement rates are about 40-50%, and some packages are lower, averaging 4-5 lakh. Internships are extensively supported, with stipends ranging from Rs. 1,000 to Rs. 6,000. The campus spans 600 acres and includes sports and cultural activities, but the return on investment is deemed low due to limited placement opportunities.
