Assam University: A central university with excellent opportunities.
Placements: There are 63 students in my class. The average package is around INR 40,000, mostly in the medical and agricultural fields. Out of the batch, 5 to 10 students successfully crack CSIR NET. Field trips are organized, which are useful for exploring various fields and gaining hands-on experience.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is available, but labs are average. Classrooms are good and equipped with AC. There is a central library and departmental libraries. The hostel quality is good, with free Wi-Fi. Food in the mess is average. Medical facilities are provided, and sports activities are frequently organized. The campus has two grounds for sports and games.
Faculty: The faculty members are helpful, with some being IITians and researchers. Two professors are recognized among the world’s top 2% of scientists. The curriculum is highly relevant to CSIR NET, making it easier for students to crack the exam. The coursework is not too difficult, with a pass percentage of 95%. I secured 71% in the first two semesters.
Other: I chose this course because I love its curriculum strategy, which aligns well with the CSIR NET syllabus. To improve, adding more topics related to personal skills would be beneficial.

I am dissatisfied because of zero placement in 2019.
Placements: Almost 50% of students were placed in our course. The highest salary offered was 1.5 Lacs per month, and the lowest salary offered was 20,000 per month. Teach for India and KV are top recruiting companies visited the campus. Teaching role is offered in our course. The highest salary package offered in our course was 1.8 LPA to 2 LPA. 1% of the students got an internship from our course
Infrastructure: Infrastructure facilities like Classrooms, Blackboard, Projector, Labs, Wi-Fi, are available for our course. In our hostel facilities like the quality of food, medical facilities, sports and games are good enough.
Faculty: They were helpful, qualified and knowledgeable. The teaching quality was good. The course curriculum is relevant. It makes the students industry-ready. It makes the students good enough for research purpose, teaching ability and overall enlighten us with good knowledge.
Other: This course is very good and full of scope, that's I have chosen this course. The best thing about the course is that it enlightens us with all the new discoveries and inventions. The latest updates are missing, which is one of the main things I wish would be better to include in our course. Events, fest and extracurricular are conducted. Scholarships are also available.

Review of Assam University, Silchar.
Placements: There is no big placement hunt for Life Science Department, but most of our seniors were doing a job in well-reputed companies because life science department gives students the ability to compete with anyone. It is one of the best department in Assam University.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the department is good enough, and it has almost all the facilities. Though there are some things which students might find not good like electricity issues, water issues but the rest is good. The building is created in a well-organised manner. It has 3 floors, and all the classrooms and labs are well-maintained.
Faculty: All our teachers are very helpful and interactive. They don't restrict their teaching up to syllabus. They go out of syllabus and teach lots of things for exams like NET. The best part about faculty members is they mostly don't follow books, and they only consult research papers. Syllabus of the life science department is an updated one, and it helps students in any modern and competitive exam.

A fairly arranged university.
Placements: Placed in Ajim Premji Foundation. The career placement cell is active in arranging campus recruitment programs for all disciplines. Patanjali, Wipro and different privatise banks participate in campus recruitment. Due to the remoteness of our university, fewer companies participate in the placement drive. The overall rating can said to be 4/10 in the context of placement.
Infrastructure: The nfrastructure facilities are average. Laboratories have all possible equipment but the power cut problem creates a hindrance. The central library and computer centre are fairly established. The school of technology and the management section are very equipped. There is a heath centre for the treatment of students and all teaching and non-teaching staff. There is no centralized canteen available.
Faculty: Almost all the faculty members are learned scholars with post-doctorate qualification. There are 39 departments with 8 undergraduate integrated courses. Starting from engineering to management, the faculty members are very helpful. Audio-visual learning along with chalk-talk facilities are available. The course curriculum stands useful in the greater field of life.
