Questions Asked On Mizoram University, Aizawl

One of my friends studied at Mizoram University (MZU). According to him, it is not a good choice to opt for MZU to pursue engineering.

Here are some reasons why:

• The infrastructure is not at par with other Government Funded Technical Institutions (GFTIs). 
• Students are not allowed to use the multimedia lab, also they lack updated technologies.
• The curriculum is obsolete and does not match with the latest industrial requirements. 
• The content that is taught here will not extend your skill set or make you more employable. 
• In the final year, every student is required to undergo Industrial Training for a minimum of 30 days and a maximum of 45 days. There is no scope for any internships. 
• The faculty members are not competent and lack fundamental knowledge of their respective subjects.
• The hostels often face insufficient electricity and water supply.
• The mess food is not at all hygienic. Students have complained to authorities about these issues but they pay no attention to them.
• The wifi connection is also unstable.
• Placements are not up to the mark. Getting placed in service-oriented companies like Wipro, TCS, etc. is seen as an accomplishment.

Therefore, it is suggested that you do not opt for MZU to study engineering, because it will not be worthwhile. As you will learn less and even fall out of job opportunities.

Mizoram University is a central university under the UGC, Government of India. The university is dominated by greenery and also has a biodiversity park.

The Students Council of the University (MZU-SC) is primarily responsible for building and preserving a healthy political culture in the campus.

They have 4 girls' hostels with one more under construction. They have a capacity of about 100+ girls. There are 7 units of a boys' Hostel with a capacity of 100+ students available. One more building is under construction. The campus also has a University Guesthouse for guests and students. There is also a Church inside the campus.

There are 9 Schools functioning in the campus. These include: The School of Economics, Management and Information Sciences, Earth Sciences and Natural Resources Management, Life Sciences, Physical Sciences, Social Sciences, Education and Humanities, Engineering and Technology, Fine Arts, Architecture and Fashion and lastly, the School of Medical and Paramedical.

According to the reviews by the students online, they are more or less satisfied with the university. They have a diverse student crowd with students from all backgrounds and cultures.

The Aizawl district is a bit costly for living, but the overall ambience is really good. You will get to see picturesque hills from the college, which is definitely soothing. So, overall it is a decent choice to study at MZU.

M.Tech in the Mizoram university is very new and will take a bit to settle, so the placement is not quite good. 

The students collaborate with NIT Mizoram students to send the companies so that the process of placement could be completed. But the package they offer is not at all satisfying for the students.

The Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering has started M.Tech. and Ph.D. Programme from academic session 2017-18. Along with this 2 more M.Tech. programmes in Computer Science and Engineering, Power and Energy Systems Engineering; Ph.D. programme in Electrical Engineering started their academic sessions from the year 2018-19.

The placements will take time to improve but currently it is average, so if you prefer self learning and training only then opt for MZU, otherwise go for more experienced colleges.

Firstly, there is no CSE department in Mizoram University. The department they have is Computer Engineering (CE) and not Computer Science Engineering.

The CE department has an intake capacity of 30 students. Out of 30 intake, 15 students are taken through JEE main and 15 students are taken through MZUEEE (Mizoram University Engineering Entrance Examination).

There are 3 computer labs with 30+ computers. All classrooms are equipped with ICT facilities. 

Their focus is to impart quality education in theories and practical knowledge. The students will gain industrial exposure through seminars, industry visits and internships conducted by the institution. Thus, CE at MZU will be a good choice.
