Admission to the B.Tech program at the college requires candidates to take the JEE Competitive Exam after completing 12th grade, with a focus on Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics scores. A minimum of 45% marks in these subjects is mandatory, though SC/ST candidates have a reduced requirement of 40%. For BA and B.Sc programs, passing 10+2 from a recognized board in any field is sufficient. Application forms are accessible on the college's website.
The B.Tech course lasts four years, with the first year costing Rs. 4,820 and each subsequent year Rs. 3,920, totaling Rs. 16,580. Despite the affordable fees, the placement scenario at NEHU faces difficulties, such as limited company visits and unreliable job offers. Nevertheless, the Counselling and Placement Cell endeavors to attract reputable companies and organizes various preparatory activities. The faculty is mainly Bengali, which has led to concerns about bias and favoritism towards Bengali students.
Scholarships are available, such as the State Government of Assam's Post Matric Scholarship, although distribution issues have been reported. The university also provides scholarships for meritorious students with a minimum of 55% marks in Honours pursuing postgraduate courses and financial aid for deserving students through the 'Students Aid Fund.' A Junior Research Fellowship is available for men up to 35 and women up to 45. The university emphasizes the importance of good attendance, attentiveness, and competence in academics.
