Kaziranga University's Review & Verdict By Collegedekho

Campus at a Glimpse

Kaziranga University, also known as Assam Kaziranga University is a private university located in North East of India. The lush green campus of the university certainly lives up to its reputation. The university is recognised by the University Grants Commission (UGC) and is known as a research university. Kaziranga University is also approved by AICTE and is a member of the AIU. The university has also signed MoUs with various universities and institutions such as UNESCO, AGIIT, Safeudcate, MTAB, JNU, IIRS, etc.

A total of 47 courses are offered under the umbrella of Kaziranga University at undergraduate, postgraduate and doctorate level. These courses are available in multiple disciplines such as Engineering, Health Sciences, Computing Sciences, Basic Sciences, Social Sciences, Management, etc. Candidates applying for these courses are also provided with up to 100% scholarships on the basis of merit in the qualifying exam.

However, there is other side of the fence as well. If the reviews of students are to be believed, the placements for BTech are not good and the companies offering low salaries only visit Kaziranga University for placements.

No. of Students Placed

Course-wise Placements

Our Take on Placements

If the above report released by Kaziranga University is to be believed, the university provides average placement to students. While the number of companies is quite fair given the strength of students, providing the highest package as 12 LPA seems to be average for BTech students. The average package of BTech and MBA courses does not seem to be at par with the industry standards given the popularity of these courses in India and the associated expectations of ROI.

Diversity & Representation

Home State Students

Majority of students at Kaziranga University are from the home state of Assam. However, the university also has a significant number of students from other states such as West Bengal, Bihar, and Odisha.

Other State Students

The number of other state students at Kaziranga University is increasing every year. This is due to the university's good reputation and its wide range of courses.

International Students

Kaziranga University also has a small number of international students. These students come from countries like Nepal, Bhutan, and Bangladesh.

Male-Female Student Ratio

The male-to-female-student ratio at Kaziranga University is approximately 60:40. This means that there are more male students than female students at the university.

Our Take on Diversity

Kaziranga University is a diverse university in terms of home-state students, other-state students, and international students ratio. The university is committed to providing a welcoming and inclusive environment for all students. However, we can say that university has a long way to go to make up to the ratio difference between male and female students.

Location

Kaziranga University is located at Koraikhowa, on the outskirts of Jorhat city in Assam, India. The campus is located near NH 37, which makes it well-connected to other major cities in Assam and the rest of India. The university campus is spread over 100 acres and is surrounded by lush green tea gardens.

Kaziranga University: Expectation vs Reality!

Kaziranga University is a relatively new university, and it is still developing. The university's faculty are generally well-qualified, but there are some exceptions. The campus is still under construction, and some of the facilities are not yet fully operational. The university does fine in terms of the present facilities offered and with the large number of courses. But again, there is a significant lack in terms of placement and ROI on course fees.
