One of my friends attended Tezpur University. His experience with the university has not been good. Here are some of the things that she shared with me.
- The administration there is headed by only one person and the VC is not cooperative.

One of my friends studied Mechanical at Tezpur University. Let me share his experiences and knowledge about the college. He, being a student there, will know the intricacies of the college and how they function.
- Faculty: The mechanical department hosts a really good faculty. Most of them are good at teaching and all of them have a great research-oriented mindset.
- Projects: About 80% of the projects are based on numerical simulations. These include optimization, analysis, modeling, developing CFD solvers, Comsol modeling and the rest are mainly experimental.
- Specialization: The department mainly started its M.Tech course in 2013 with a specialization in Applied mechanics. The Thermal and Fluid Engineering specialization began in 2016 and from 2018 onwards, another specialization in Machine Design was also started. The department is definitely growing with time.

Overall, the mechanical department at Tezpur University is not as good as IITs but it is much better than many private as well as newly built NITs in the country.
I have a few friends from Tezpur University. According to them, the hostel facilities at the institute are quite good.
- WiFi - Most of the time the campus WiFi works well. However, you will have to deal with crappy connectivity from time to time.
- Food - Food offered at the mess is average. You are allowed to use the gas in mess to cook too.
- Canteen - Almost all hostel have their separate canteens, that stay open all night.
- Peers - At the beginning, it can be challenging to blend in, but with time it gets easier.
- Common room - It is a great hangout spot. You can play various games like carrom, table tennis. You can also catch up on sports programs on tv.
Overall, the hostel facilities on TU are decent.
It is recommended that you go for any of the NIT Agartala or NIT Silchar over Tezpur University (TU). Here’s mentioning some points as to why it will be a better option.
- The major thing the NITs possess is the brand name. This name could turn out to be really beneficial for your career ahead.
- Overall placements at NITs are much better. Whereas TU is known only for its CSE department.
- Top companies like Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo, KPMG, ICICI Prudential, American Express, Barclays, etc. take part in NITs placement programs.
- These companies offer salary packages ranging from 12-14 LPA. The average CTC rises upto 8.5 LPA.
- The administration of NITs are well organized unlike TU.
- Tezpur University being a newer establishment has very less industrial exposure, this is certainly better in the NITs.
- NITs faculty is highly qualified and well experienced.
If you are interested in studying CSE then only consider TU, otherwise NITs are the best at everything. Being a more experienced institute NITs can provide you the proper guidance and connections required to move forward in your career.
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.
| Categories | B.Tech at AEC | B.Tech at TU |
| Course Fee | INR 44,000 | 1.76 lakh |
| Placement Percentage | 80% | 50% |
| Highest CTC | 17 LPA | 14 LPA |
| Average CTC | 6 LPA | 3.5 LPA |
| Recruiting Companies | Capgemini, IBM, Wipro, Reliance, etc. | SAP Labs, Amazon, Intel, Dabur, etc. |
If your aim is to get a job right after your graduation, then you should join AEC. But if you are interested more in research and exposure and want to opt for higher studies, TU will be a better option.
Before choosing an institute, think about what your requirements are. Here are some points that might help you make a decision.
- If your aim is a job in a corporate sector then the NITs will definitely be better options. Opt for either NIT Meghalaya or Nagaland.
- Do not compare their placements with older NITs as it could prove disappointing.
- Tezpur University (TU) is also known to provide good placement opportunities but it is more concentrated to only the CSE department.
- You may get placements from a few IT companies, but overall placements are concerned NITs are definitely better than TU.
- Students who are interested in learning and exploring research fields can opt for TU as well.
- Tezpur University has very good faculty strength in ECE & CSE.
- The two departments are much older too.
- The CSE faculty and labs of TU are better than NIT Silchar.
- TU has got a good research environment as there are multiple departments of Science and Engineering, which is not the case of the mentioned NITs.
Therefore it is suggested that if you aim for an immediate job opportunity, go for NITs. For students who feel confident that they can get a job off campus or are more inclined towards academics and research can go for TU.
A few of my friends graduated from Tezpur University. Here is their insight on the placement issue.
The engineering department of the institute is relatively new. It will take some time for the institute to create its credibility and an alumni base. The brand value of any institute is a product of these two factors. So, TU will still need a few years to become recognized among the recruiter circle.
According to my friends, the university needs to be a little liberal in their internship rules too. As of now, students are not allowed to take external internships. This is a wastage of opportunity since many recruiters recruit students after the completion of their internships.
The criteria for admission to Tezpur University vary according to different courses. The details are as follows:
- For B.tech, you have to appear for JEE Mains examination based on its score your application would be considered.
- However, 60% of seats for B.Tech are reserved for North East students and 40% of seats are available for all the other candidates across the country.
- For post-graduation courses, Tezpur University conducts its own entrance examination named TUEE. Which is conducted in both the northeastern part and across the major cities of the country like Mumbai, Kolkata, etc.
- Tezpur University accepts GATE scores for the M.Tech program.
Therefore, the admission procedure is quite hassle-free if your application fulfills the requirements accordingly.
NIT Silchar is comparably a better option for an MBA degree. It has a good placement record. According to the highlights of NIT Silchar placements for MBA, the average CTC is INR 4 LPA. Top MNCs like Well Fargo, Goldman Sachs, SAP Labs, etc. visit the placement drive.
As a student of NIT Silchar, you can also leverage the NIT brand name.
