Overall it is good

College Infrastructure

The college infrastructure is quite nice, the buildings and academic blocks are extremely pleasant. The overall ambiance of the campus is also very serene and peaceful. The laboratories are also very nice.

All in all, I had an enlightening and memorable experience.

Verified Review

College Infrastructure

The infrastructure of the Institution is more or less functions on satisfactory grounds. There is adequate number of labs and facilities for research work as well. The Library especially has an impressive collection of books and materials. If I have any gripes with the infrastructure, it would most likely be with that the campus needs more street lamps than is already placed and perhaps a faster WiFi connection for students. Otherwise, the campus is well-equipped with everything that is expected of a University. Guest houses are welcoming and comfortable for academics visiting from other universities as well. Students have ample space and opportunities to pursue their activities.

A life in the University is cool

Verified Review

College Infrastructure

Northeastern Hills University is a central university, and it has all the necessary infrastructures. It has clean classrooms and library, hostels and Wi-Fi connection in the campus. There are also projectors and sports facilities which are well used. Yes, the spaces are good, and food is hygienic.

I got 166548 rank in jee mains can I get nehu or any nit till csab rounds . Please guide me

Hello,

With a rank of 166548 in JEE Mains, it might be difficult to get into NEHU (North Eastern Hill University) or any of the NITs through the regular rounds. However, you still have a chance in the CSAB (Central Seat Allocation Board) rounds, especially if you belong to a reserved category or if some seats remain vacant after the main counselling rounds.

In CSAB rounds, you might get a seat in some NITs or other government colleges, but the chances are low for high-demand branches like Computer Science or Electronics.

It's best to keep checking the CSAB counseling updates and be ready to accept any available options if they align with your preferences and location.

You can also use our JEE Main College Predictor Tool to predict which college you can get based on your scores.

Hope it helps !

The admission forms for North-Eastern Hill University (NEHU) for the academic year 2024-25 are expected to be released in the last week of June 2024. The last date for submission of the application form will likely be 31 July 2024
