INTI's Review On Nagaland University, Zunhebotto

The university is highly recommended for a better education system. They have four campuses offering a lot of programs. You will experience a new life in this university for sure. You will learn not just course but also a social life.

The curriculum is designed in a way that we completely learn about every single detail of a forest community. The main concepts are silviculture, biodiversity, forest management, laws, policy, forest products, the chemistry of forest products, wildlife conservation, forest biotechnology and many more. We also have field study and practicals. There is a project for every PG degree.

The university has a career and placement cell where we are trained to fit into any job but we have to find the job on our own. We can either go with competitive exams or further studies. You can also start-up your own business ideas.

The fees structure is framed in such away to help all the students to learn what they love. The fees will differ for various streams. For science stream it will be around ?.3000 for each semester. Apart from this you need to pay the caution deposit at the time of admission.

We are allowed to apply for all the eligible scholarships as per the UGC guidelines. The university has adopted the policy of Central Sector Scheme of Scholarship. All economically weaker and meritorious students are helped with scholarship facility.

We have a various clubs to enhance students in social participation. The NSS cell and sports club supports physical education. There are also cells that work responsibly to save students from unwanted problems. They are cell to eliminate sexual harassment, anti-ragging cell, grievance redressal cell. A special NET coaching is given to students from economically backward status.

The hostel facilities are provided in each campus of the university. There are separate hostels for boys and girls. The research scholars are alloted with 1 block in both boys and girls hostel. All other blocks are for PG students. A fee amount of ?.2,500 to be paid in subsequent terms. The rooms are provided with basic amenities and a healthy food diet is given to the students. The mess fees is not included in the room rent.

The alumni network is widespread group of students all around the world. They are found to stay connected with the institution and look into the needs of the students. They help us by sharing their success path and uplifts us from hard times.

The method of applying into this university is only through their online admission portal. I applied for M.Sc., Forest Science. There was an admission test followed by interview and release of merit selection list. I had a score of 83% in my UG degree and good performance in test. So I had been selected for this program. There is another special offer for the past students of Nagaland University. They say that they are provided with extra 6% to add up their UG percentage. This is called bonus weightage during admission process.

The faculties are exceptionally specialized in each paper of forest science. We have 3 guest faculties. The young NET qualified staff are also a part of our department. Miss Adangaro Jamir is specialized in silviculture & forest management, while our Imokokla Imsong sir is specialized in biodiversity & ecology.
