Cotton university is one of the most prestigious educational institution in Assam. It is a pride for the students to get the opportunity to study here. Some of the reasons are, It is the best place to explore the political or cultural fields. The infrastructure is good and the living spaces are well maintained. They provide all the necessary facilities like library, auditorium, laboratories etc. Academics is overall quite decent and the faculty mentors are also very nice and welcoming. The quality of teaching is also good providing that the professors are well experienced individuals. For general line students like B.Sc, BA etc, the placements are not considered as worthy due to lack of professional experiences.

I actually wanted to opt for Delhi University but due to my financial conditions I couldn't make it to Delhi . Also Cotton University is an autonomous University so it has its own benefits Additional to that, Cotton University has a rich legacy of more than 120 years of being glorious. Thus being a local resident of Guwahati, I opted for Cotton University and I am proud of it that I got a chance to study at this prestigious university Our 2023 batch got admission through CUET examinations . Based on the marks and registration to this university,the merit list was out. Overall admission is easy and digital so we can do it from our home too . It's not hectic and nicely arranged

The eligibility for this course was based on merit. The cut-off for my course was 91% and the application forms were easily available on their official websites. Reservation is granted for the students belonging to the sc/st categories and also to the students who are differently abled.

I have got an admission in this University through CUET ... The general students should have to score atleast 400+ in the CUET exam to get admission.... I think the University should give students the chance to opt their SEC and MDE subjects by themselves and not by forcing them to op the subjects the students usually don't like

As Cotton University is a very prestigious university in the region, the selection rate is very low. For BA Honours in English, 40% of the admissions will be based on CUET and 60% on Merit in 12th Boards. The application form and other details will be available in the official website of Cotton University. I don't have any idea about Reservation. The examinations are conducted twice each semester and the difficulty level is high. The admission process according to me is apt.

The registration process for the Bachelor of Arts (BA) has not yet started for the 2022 – 2025 academic session. You can get admission to the course on the basis of scores of the last qualifying examination followed by the counseling process conducted by the university.
