I applied to Tezpur University, Cotton College, Fergusson College and also Sri Venkateswara College. I got into all of them except Tezpur Uni, and also got through Ramjas College and Kirorimal College. I choose Venky for being exposed to a diverse, inclusive, elite campus filled with intellectual minds. Also, the relative peace of South Campus was another star factor in influencing my choice. The admission procedure during my time was simply merit based focussing on 12th percentage, however, now CUET Scores determine which college and course you'd be eligible for.

The faculty-to-student ratio is roughly 1:22. The professors across departments are highly approachable and friendly. My Department of Zoology is filled with expert faculty members with strong research backgrounds and can provide you ample scope for research initiatives and interships under their guidance. Exams, practicals are structured in a coherent and streamlined manner with almost around 99.9% passing rate.

No such rounds for admission. It was rather direct. Admission for me was completely merit-based and focused on 12th-grade percentage. However, the present scenario might differ after the introduction of CUET UG.

Hostel curfew starts at 9 PM focussing on the safety of hostel students. Hostel Campus is green and clean with parks and playgrounds, basketball courts, badminton court, cricket fields, etc. There is a cafeteria, canteen with diverse options to opt from. A small dedicated temple of Lord Venkateswara is located within the college. There are a number of hangout places nearby- Satyaniketan for nightlife, eatout and strolling; South Campus for greenery.
