Remarks
I got admitted into the program on my 12th board marks. But, since 2018, things have changed. Entrances are held to secure admission into a program. 2020 was an exception due to the pandemic. Age is not a criterion as far as I know.
Course Curriculum Overview
I chose this course as I was interested in the subject of Physics and it was the nearest college to my home and during that time, less attendance didn't cause much of an issue. I can't say about the same thing now. Estimated faculty:student ratio (per batch) = 3:20. Currently, there are two professors with a Master's in Solid State and Nuclear (expt.) respectively. And another newly inducted professor has a PhD in Material Sciences. During my time, the teaching quality was decent. The semester exams usually occur every 6 months. And the mid-term of each semester happens right in between 2-3 months from the beginning of the semester.
Fees and Financial Aid
The tuition fee for the course is very low esp. around 10k per year. Exam fees account for almost around 1k per sem. There aren't any immediate financial assistance provided by the institute itself but financial assistance can be availed from the different state/central scholarship schemes, etc. Since B.Sc. (Hons. - Physics) isn't a professional degree, one should not expect a job call right away. The new CBCS syllabus though has brought in some skill development courses in various disciplines which can create a pathway if one is interested in employment opportunities.
Campus Life
Books across a wide no. of arenas are available in the library. The is the central library as well as respective departmental libraries. The Guwahati College Week is held each year in January/February. Various games like cricket, 5-a-team football, badminton, chess, carrom, volleyball etc are played.
