FAQs
Ques. Are entrance examinations required for admission at Royal Global University?
Ans. Programs like B.Tech. and MBA at RGU Guwahati require entrance scores for admission. But most UG and PG programs like B.Sc, BBA, B.Com, M.Sc. and others do not require entrance examination scores for selection. For these programs, candidates can simply apply for admission with their academic scores, i.e. Class 12 scores for UG programs and graduation for PG. Thereafter, the institute conducts a personal interview round, which determines the final selection.
Ques. Is it difficult to get admission to B.Tech at Royal Global University?
Ans. RGU Guwahati is relatively easy to get admission to, especially compared to most NITs and State engineering colleges. As per reviews, admission to B.Tech is described as ‘straightforward’ once you meet the minimum marks (55% in PCM). Even though PI is mandatory, students have found it easy with simple questions being asked.
Royal Global University Placement
RGU has not released a detailed official placement report.
However, as per student testimonials on Collegedunia:
- Average salary package: INR 3 - 4 LPA.
- Highest package: around INR 6 LPA.
RGU Placement Summary
Placements at RGU are very poor, especially for engineering, considering the exorbitant fees. If one’s objective is to secure good placement offers after graduation, then RGU would be a poor choice. Within Assam or the Northeast region, one can consider other private universities like Assam down town, NEHU, or government institutes.

Hostellers will have access to all the institute’s facilities, such as the gym, sports and many more. However, others feel the hostel is expensive, and they prefer nearby PGs to save money.
Student Review Summary
Some student and alumni reviews (especially on forums and portals) are strongly critical of RGU, particularly regarding:
- Academic rigour and teaching quality
- Classroom engagement after lunch hours
- Handling of online examinations during COVID (camera rules, question timing, assignment load)
- Perception that the administration can be less responsive to student concerns
A few alumni also describe RGU as “not value for money”, especially for the MBA, citing:
- Low ROI: packages often in the INR 2–3 LPA range for many graduates
- Roles leaning towards sales / entry-level positions in lesser-known companies
These are individual experiences and may not represent all departments, but they are worth considering alongside official information and campus visits.

Royal Global University Guwahati FAQs
Ques. How good is Royal Global University, Guwahati?
Ans. Students and alumni report that RGU Guwahati is below average. Royal Global University is the worst university one could ever imagine, according to alumni. Students are mesmerised by its infrastructure. It is actually beautiful and well-maintained. However, they will give you a 3-day orientation in which whatever they tell you is all a bluff. Classes are conducted from 9 to 5, but after the lunch break, there will be no proper class, and you still have to sit all day. This university will torture you mentally and will certainly make you depressed. They don’t care about your problems at all. Not all the teachers or administration are bad, but some of them are very mean. Even if you tell them your problems, they don’t care about the students. During COVID-19, this university wanted to conduct an exam. Students were not against online examinations, but absurd instructions like keeping their camera on and each question will be uploaded after 15 minutes, during a one-hour exam. Students were given plentiful assignments and were asked to appear for exams, for which they had no time to appear. Students and alumni advise against joining the university because they only want your money, with no quality education in return.
Ques. How is Royal Global University (RGU), Assam, for doing an MBA, and how are the placements?
Ans. Alumni say it is absolutely worthless! And a waste of 2 years of life. If you still want to pursue an MBA, take the CAT or XAT and aim for better colleges. It will be tough, but at the end of 3–4 years, you’ll have a good career. Doing an MBA from these tier 4–5 colleges doesn’t make sense. You’ll get a package of INR 2– INR 3 lakhs, working as sales reps in below-average companies.
