According to the reviews online, the difference is that Tezpur University (TU) and Gauhati University (GU) is that the former is a central university while the latter is a state university.

GU is a teaching cum affiliating university, with more than 300 colleges and institutes under its affiliation. On the other hand, TU does not have any colleges affiliated to it.
TU aims to offer employment oriented courses.
These are non-traditional subjects like MBBT, Environmental Science, Food Engineering and Technology, Cultural Studies, Social Work, Sociology, English and Foreign Languages with very few traditional subjects.
GU offers most of the traditional subjects in Science, Art, Commerce and only a few professional and non-traditional courses.
