Mrigakshi Mazumdar's Review On University Of Science And Technology - [USTM], Ri-Bhoi

I applied for Handique Girls College, Cotton University etc. So I got my name in the second list mostly because it was Covid time and the cuttoffs were extremely high which made it difficult for admission so finally I chose USTM after getting to know about the available course. I chose my college because of the availability of a course like BA Administration and Governance which is an early start of civils preparation or any other government exam preparation.

We had 15 students in total which included 7 boys and 8 girls. Yes we had cultural, regional and belief differences. We belonged to different religions and cultures. Our peer group was nice and quite participatory

Internships were available only for the BBA and MBA students So we don’t have much idea about the internships available for us There were companies all around India to recruit students from our college

We didn’t get placements so I have almost zero idea regarding placements availability. All I know is that placements were only for BBA and MBA students. Placement offers came from Pune, Mumbai, Bangalore etc.

The fee was quite high honestly. Some students did get the scholarship to continue their studies. This was for the economically challenged students. My per semester fee was 50,000 and my Hostel fee per month was 7350. For total 6 months I paid almost 1 lakh and for the whole course around 6 lakhs including the hostel and course fee. Other miscellaneous expenses were there from my side. I would say there is a need for having an economically stable environment to opt for this course unless one has got through scholarship

Sports facilities were available for the other courses. We have a gym available for both girls and boys Yes relatives and can visit the campus at a designated time We have joint cafeterias And the medical centre has qualified doctors and nurses Nightlife was not available for us because we were not allowed to leave our hostels after 5 During any fest or function we jade exceptions and were allowed There were tons of cultural nights and fests which happened and their were debates and quizzes and sports along with it

Yes we had separate hostels for girls and Boys. More than over a 100 per boys and girls hostel. Yes fooding is included in hostel fees Food quality is fine and the food varies everyday Yes there are a few guards at our hostel We had a common washroom and included washrooms for a few. Washrooms were cleaned everyday Washrooms were there in every floor Around 5 common washrooms were there Attached washrooms with 5-6 rooms were avail and

The admission process was done through an entrance exam. The questions were straightforward what a civils paper would look like. Again merit was another pointer to apply for the entrance exam. A minimum of 75% was required to sit for the entrance examination

Students do fail in internals if they haven't study . The best aspect about MBA is that it's a professional course and the big disadvantage is for that student who didn't pay attention upon himself practically in these two course years. There are total 20-22 exams per year in two semester in which there are practical and theoretical subjects both. Total 6 classes takes place in a day and 30 - 50 min of lunch break in between. The faculty that I love the most is the ex coordinator of MBA that is Mr. Ashok sen Gupta sir , he helped me alot in every way . As I wasn't able to attend the classes as I was admitted in the hospital because of some health issues at that time he provided me the notes and everything so that I can revise all the chapters that were been taught in the classes. The attandance is mandatory 75% , if anyone's attendance is below 75% then the internal marks are not provided to that student.
