Jorhat Engineering College

Jorhat Engineering College, established in 1959, is one of the oldest engineering colleges in Assam and a fixture of technical education in the state's upper region. It is a state government institution, now academically under Assam Science and Technology University, with admission through the Assam CEE. The college holds a B++ grade from NAAC and a NIRF ranking of 251. Jorhat is a historic tea-country town with a strong educational tradition — it also hosts major research institutes — and living costs are low, though corporate recruiters are thinner on the ground than in Guwahati or the metros. The degree carries genuine weight in Assam government services and public-sector recruitment. It suits Assamese students seeking an affordable, established government college with deep alumni roots in the state.
