Should I study at CIT Kokrajhar or wait a year and appear for the JEE? Is CIT better than NIT Silchar?
Posted On - Jan 19, 2021One of my friends is pursuing a BTech from CIT Kokrajhar and from what I have heard from him, it should be your last option when choosing institutes. The faculty pool comprises professors from well-renowned colleges like IIT, NERIST, ACE, and NIT. Although the institute has decent campus facilities it's yet to reach the level of NITs and other top engineering colleges. The development rate is slow.
Another friend praised the institute claiming it had many big projects under the way. Its infrastructure is better than most state engineering colleges and the professors are very talented. A professor was awarded the junior scientists award by the Indian government. Other facilities include free WiFi, medical, hostel facilities, transport facilities, sports facilities, and events like the annual cultural and technical festival. Recently, a central university library has opened and many more facilities are under way.
So, these were some opinions about studying at CIT. Choose wisely after going through all the factors!
The faculty at CIT Kokrajhar is from reputed colleges such as IIT, NIT, and ACE. They are quite helpful towards students who work sincerely. A friend of mine has studied in CIT Kokrajhar and he recommended me not to go there.
It does not offer good placement opportunities. It lags behind when compared to national universities such as NIT or IIT. It would be advised to join CIT Kokrajhar only if it is your last resort.

- The central university library on campus is one of the first in Assam that has RFID Technology available.
Placements:
- CIT Kokrajhar is still struggling in terms of providing placements.
- Very few students from the respective batches get placed through campus placements.
- If you are looking for job opportunities while studying at CIT Kokrajhar then you should try and appear for GATE as that will aid in job opportunities.
Although, the CIT campus is growing gradually. It will take time to come at par with NIT Silchar. Due to the uncertainty of placements, you must consider opting for this university if this is your last option.
