Course Curriculum Overview

4

The specific aspects of the curriculum that influenced my decision to choose this course are my fascinating towards the work engineers does and I also wanted to explore many new things. The curriculum really makes me confident and encourages me to move forward towards achieveing success. It would be very nice if Kamal sir focuses more on teaching than on spending time in discussing useless topics. The frequency and timings of the sessional exams is 1 hour and for end semester, its for 3 hours. The difficulty level is medium and is really good. Question papers are fun to solve.

Internships Opportunities

4

There is a Summer Internship Programm offered by our college for both undergraduate and post graduate students. It includes the projects: Internship Programme On Circuit Design Simulation And PCB Fabrication, Internship Programme On Circuit Design Simulation And PCB Fabrication, Student Internship On PCB Fabrication, 3D Printing, 3D Scanning.

Placement Experience

The students become eligible for campus placements from 6th semester if he is worthy enough. In our college, companies like Tech Mahendra, Jio, Amazon, Zantrik Technology Pvt. Ltd, Zaloni Technology, Bharati Airtel and many more came to recruit candidates. The highest package offered was 8LPA and average is 6LPA. The percentage of students getting placements are 75%-80%. My plan after getting the degree is to work on highly reputed company and become a successful person.

Admission

I had applied for AMC in Bangalore and and KIIT, Bhubaneswar also secured a sit on both the colleges. But, due to high fees I couldn't make out there. So, I came up to Girijananda Chowdhury University as it is way too cheaper than any other private engineering colleges which also provides great teaching facility, and this University also provides students in learning foreign languages like Japanese, French and Russian. No, I didn't get rejection from other colleges I applied in. It was just that the fees was too high for me. The admission process of my University is will have to fill up a form and pay admission fees via online. The eligibility criteria is student must get 60% or above in HS and a valid marks in JEE Mains.

Faculty

4

The relationship between the faculties and students are really nice. All the faculties are very helpful and friendly. The faculty I like the most is Manasi ma'am as she is way too friendly and makes us comfortable enough to share everything. The best faculties are Manasi Ma'am, Gitanjali Ma'am and Rashidul Sir. The name of the faculty I don't like is Diganta sir and Kamal Sir. They are maths and biology faculties respectively. Although Diganta Sir teaches well but also starts useless topics in between the class. Kamal sir spends a lot of time in talking on useless topics. There are 4 exams in total. 1st sessional, 2nd sessional, 3rd sessiona and end semester exam. There are a few students who couldn't make up to their expectations. The course curriculum is really good and well maintained.

Night Life

5

My favorite hangout spot in the college is the garden and the swing. Students who lives in the hostel also plays badminton to spend time or roam in the campus. Gym is also there in the college. The timings for girls are 7:00 am-9:00 am whereas for boys, its 6:00pm-9:00 pm. The cafeteria is big enough and had varieties of food which remains open the whole day. The timing of hostel is: For girls, no one will be allowed to be out after 6:00 pm and for boys, it's 9:00 pm. The famous hangout place outside the college is a restuarant named "Chai Nastah". Yes, the locality is safe enough to roam around at night.

Course Curriculum Overview:

See I had the passion for civil since my 10th std. I am really happy about my course . Because there are many job opportunities in govt sector in Assam. I like the teachers of my dept but some are not that friendly . Maybe it depends upon their mood sometimes I don't know really . The civil course is practical it's enjoyable. I would have liked it more if it would had more placement opportunities on campus . Otherwise it's fine

The management cell of the college is also do grat jobs. But the main problem I have found is placement. According to the other colleges the placement of this college is not so good. If the college can give more placement then it will become a great college. Overall its a great college full of knowledge.
