Ans
It is better to go for B.Tech at Tezpur University (TU) than Assam Engineering College (AEC). Following are the reasons for the same:
TU has great faculty and infrastructure, and you will get a lot of exposure.
The only drawback is the lack of placements. Being a new institution very few companies visit the college.
AEC on the other hand, is very old, and has a strong alumni network.
Placement is better at AEC compared to TU, but still it keeps fluctuating which makes students unsure.
