Which one is better for a B.Tech Assam Engineering College or Tezpur University?
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.

What are the advantages of studying in Tezpur University over IIT and NIT?
One of my friends studied at the School of Engineering, Tezpur University (TU). According to him, the most visible difference between IITs and NITs with Tezpur University is the brand name. Because this brand name could sometimes prove to be beneficial for your career.
Here are some points that make studying in Tezpur University worthy:
- It is one of the best colleges in the North Eastern region.
- TU is a university, not an engineering college, so they receive adequate funding from the central government.
- TU has one of the most beautiful campuses in India. As it is a new institute, everything is clean and very well maintained.
- Many cultural events are held here. From the technical and management fests to annual cultural fests.
- There are also musical shows, drama shows and visits by famous personalities.
- The faculty members are very well experienced. Most of them are from IITs and BITS.
- CSE has observed the best placements.
- Reputed companies like Amazon, Huawei, SAP Labs, Software AG and Intel visit during the placements.
- The CSE department has multiple tie ups with research organizations like IISc Bengaluru, ISRO, DRDO, ISI-Kolkata, CSIR, etc.
It is a constantly growing and developing institution. It might not reach the standards and popularity of IITs and NITs but is developing very fast which makes it better than many other newly established institutions.
Students are getting placed, but why are the pay packages of the B.Tech students of Tezpur University so low? Is it bound to improve in the upcoming years?
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.
Which one is good Tezpur University or NIT Silchar or NIT Agartala?
All three colleges are good engineering colleges and each of them has their unique pros and cons. For instance,
In terms of placements and academics, the preference order would be
- NIT Silchar>NIT Agartala>Tezpur University
In terms of campus life, the preference order would be
- Tezpur University>NIT Agartala>NIT Silchar
As a whole, NITs are well known for their excellent placements, brand name, faculty, and elaborate alumni network whereas Tezpur University is known for its widespread beautiful campus, research culture, and extracurricular activities.
So, you can choose the college that meets your expectations of college life.
Which is better academically (preferably CSE and ECE branch), NIT Manipur. NIT Meghalaya, NIT Sikkim, NIT Nagaland or Tezpur University?
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.
What is the difference between Tezpur University and Gauhati University?
