Tezpur University from my perspective

The campus is really amazing. It's a bit far from , but well connected to the town. This is what makes the place so peaceful. The environment is really pleasing , to the eyes and the mind. The place is secured from any outside effects , be it strikes , powercuts and such. There is no influence of political parties on the Students' Council. There are shops , eateries, juice corners , book stalls, grocery stores , saloons , within the campus. There is a Central Library that stays open till 1 at night. The place has so many students from so many departments that you'll see a new face everyday for your entire course duration and still not see everyone.

The course curriculum is at par and similar to the courses in the NITs. The course is reviewed and updated annually nowadays. The course ,the 2019 freshers are persuing is very different from ours. It includes newer domains of study. There are 4 exams In a semester.

In-campus Placements to be honest aren't very great although the T&P cell is working really hard to bring in more companies this year than the previous years. And result are visible. Like most places , getting a job in core branches is harder than an IT job. Though our alumni have found themselves in reputable positions in various fields over the years.

The main tech-fest "Techxetra" is celebrated annually for 2days. There is a science test "Inscignis". There is a literary fest "Arnashwat". The are minor feats like the Spring Fest , Crescendo. There is also a month long Varsity fest, hosting all the sports and cultural competitions, which endswith a cultural night

The fee structure , being a GFTI , is considerably low. The fees for the technical courses in TU is probably less than half of that in the NITs. This is possible because TU is a Central Government Funded Technical Institute.

I have been availing the ISHAN UDAY scholarship given by UGC through out my technical course. Although very irregular , this scholarship has been really helpful for me. I am unaware of any scholarships offered by our University though.

The sports facilities are good. There is a huge football field , besides which is a cricket ground , and a kho-kho ground. There is an indoor badminton stadium. There is a well equipped gym. There are basketball , and volleyball and tennis courts. There are practice grounds for archery as well. A swimming pool has also been newly opened. There are equipped labs in every department , having equipments and lab assistants of the respective fields. There is a powerful telescope and a capable observatory in the campus

Hostels are sufficient. The rooms are large enough for 2 people , and come equipped with attached wardrobes , shelves , tables and beds. A cousin of mine infact said that our hostels are better than his hostel in IIT Madras in terms of quality, cleanliness and space. The story of the mess food is that of very other hostel. You'll enjoy it for a semester at Max , and than get bored of it. There are canteens in every hostel. A good strength of staff is also present in the hostel.

The alumni association has been keeping a touch with the University. Many have established themselves in very reputable positions in various organizations in various fields. Some of them visit the campus and interact with the students. Some bring in senior ranked people of their organisation in order to improve relations of the organization and the university. Some provide guidance when needed and a re really helpful.

I qualified in JEE Mains and applied for TU through their online portal against 60% of the seats reserved for the Northeast Indian students. The rest of the 40% seats are filled through JoSAA of the Joint counselling through which one joins NITs.

How the faculties are is very subjective. There are highly qualified professors and assistant professors in every department. Everyone is trying to stay updated to the latest methods and techniques.
