I choose this course because I wanted to become a software Engineer. There are around 15 teachers in the dept., Few of them are research scholars and others are highly qualified teachers with a strong background. Every teacher in the department is either a Ph.D. holder or NET qualified. They teach us in very interactive methods using PPT and Whiteboard. They are always well prepared for the class. Timely exams are not difficult to pass if you have studied properly what teachers had taught in the class.

There are not too many internships opportunity available on the campus but few depts. teachers helped students to get internships off campus. In my dept. Teachers have provided research internships to the students during their summer vacation. also in other depts. like Mass Communication, Biotechnology provides internship opportunities to brilliant students.

At the University, There is a very strong Student body to address the student problems and also protest against the unnecessary decisions of the authority. So, without discussing with students authorities cant Hike the fees. And also the cost of the study is too low like 3-4k/yr for tuition and if you want to stay in Hostel there are 4 Boys' hostel and 3 girls' Hostel, Which are available at a very low monthly cost. You can avail yourself of many scholarships at the university. A few of them are listed below: Ishan Uday Scholarship, Inspire scholarship, SC/ST scholarship, and many more govt. and non-govt. scholarships.

Several annual fests are organized but mainly we can name a few, Cotton Fiesta, Versity week cultural night, and every boy's hostel organizing grand freshers for the newcomers. Our University has a very huge central library named Dr. Surya Kumar Bhuyan Library, which has a huge collection of books. Though It's a very huge library, every dept. has its library. Our dept. has a very vast collection of books and Final year project reports of final year students. On campus, you will get various opportunities to take part in various extracurricular activities like NCC, NSS, Sports, Debate, Quizzing, etc. There are various societies like Cottonian Jagran Mancha, Xondhan, Serving Happiness, etc. societies which you can join after admitting to Uni.

There are a total of 4 Boys' hostels and 3 girl hostels. You will get a seat in these hostels based on merit. Every hostel has an accommodation facility of at least 60 students. The meal quality of hostels is average but not bad as the mess of the hostels are run by students body. Also, mess fees are very minimal ( 2000- 2500 Rs). If you weren't able to get get a seat in the hostel then there are too many PGs around the college or within the 1 Km radius.
