Course Curriculum Overview

2

The course curriculum is currently being adjusted to match with the real world. However these changes could have been introduced sooner. The opportunities in this field is limited and direct placements are not available.

Fees and Financial Aid

Admission fees = ?16,000 Readmission fees (for the 2nd year) = ?7050 Fee waiver for the financially weaker students - full refund on the admission fees Exam form fill up fees per semester = ?1800-2000 (depends on the semester)

Campus Life

5

The Department Library is very helpful for the course and many copies of the books relevant to the curriculum are available for the students to borrow. The classrooms are out of date and barely running with faulty lights and fans. There is room for improvement in that ascept. Many festivals and programs are held from time to time.

Admission

The other colleges that I got confirmed admission from were Dibrugarh University and Rajiv Gandhi University. The reason for choosing Guahati University was due to the faculties, better design of the curriculum and more networking opportunities.

Faculty

5

The course duration is 2 years and consists of 4 semesters. Exams are conducted at the end of each month and also mid-semester. The faculty to student ratio is about 1/5 and they are quite approachable and willing to help a student learn/understand. While the course is not easy, very few students actually fail. The marking system seems okay and entirely dependent on a student's performance in the mid semester and final exams.

Night Life

2

There are limited destinations/spots. In the campus there is single gym which is mostly cramped. There are many cafeterias and playgrounds inside the campus. There is a park and areas for walking/running. Campus gates close at around 10 p.m, student ID verification is required after the regular class timings. The campus is safe on the inside but the locality is not at all safe for anyone.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The teachers prepare students well for jobs at different companies and gives marks based on our understanding of the subject. But some of the teachers need to interact more with the students. The internal examination are not well timed and give little time for students to study.

Cotton University, Master of Science [M.Sc] (Geography)
Reviewed on Jul 14, 2022(Enrolled 2021)

Course Curriculum Overview:

The geography department at the university is good. The department is small, with a maximum of 30-40 students in each class. This helps in good interaction with the teachers and avoids congestion. The teachers are good and very cooperative. They help the students in every way, be it academic or extra-curricular activities. The department takes part in university activities actively. The teachers also help and are actively involved. All the teachers in the department have PhDs. Teachers use theory as well as practical knowledge to teach the subject. Computers, smart phones, and journals are also used by them. They clear every doubt of the students and also, if necessary, they teach topics beyond the syllabus for future help. The exams are conducted on time. And the question pattern is challenging for the students.

Reviewed on Apr 20, 2020

Remarks:

NIT SILCHAR is one of the technological institutes of national importance established in the year 1950, one of the core learning centre for sciences and technology in north east, gaining spectacular growth in last few years it has secured 10th place out of 31 colleges, having the Asia's largest digital library, your life circle of 7 lives would not be enough to compete all the books, the lush green environment and its location on southern side of kashi hills makes it a magnetic centre for knowledge thus lives. The patron of education and the spice of knowledgeable people from across the country under a 695 acres of land compressing of more than 5000 students is all I can describe my college, words fall short apart. Negative remark as such is its isolation from ROI it takes almost 1½ day to reach West Bengal from Silchar, road connectivity is less and even the climate is unpredictable here the funniest part is I have experienced all 3 seasons in a single day, morning it was raining at afternoon it was sunny and night I was chilled out
