From Dean’s Desk
On behalf of Triguna Sen School of Technology (TSSOT),
Assam University (a Central University), Silchar, I
welcome you to the Engineering Departments of TSSOT.
The Departments such as Agricultural Engineering,
Applied Science and Humanities, Computer Science and
Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering
and the School as a whole have been known for providing
one of the best teaching, learning and research
environments to the students enrolled into B.Tech.,
M.Tech. and Ph.D. Programme.
Assam University, Silchar (a Central University) was established in January 1994 by an Act
of Parliament. The University has been accredited by NAAC with Grade B with a CGPA of
2.92 in 2014.
With the Bhuban and the Barail ranges of hills at the backdrop, the University Campus is
surrounded by lush green hillocks, natural lakes and the picturesque tea gardens of South
Assam. The inner landscape is featured by sprawling lawns, well nurtured gardens and eco-
forests. The serene setting makes Assam University Campus a unique one with exquisite
natural beauty which captures viewers imagination and provides an ideal atmosphere for
study and research. Distance between the main Campus and the Silchar city is about 23
km. Silchar is the Headquarter of Cachar district.
Silchar city being the gateway to the entire southern part of North East India is the hub of
commercial activities and is known for its history as the Tea Capital of South Assam.
Within a very short span of time, Assam University has made its presence felt in the education map of India. In its relentless
pursuit of knowledge, the university has made inroads in the unexplored region of research and higher education. With 39
post graduate departments along with 6 interdisciplinary centres including Triguna Sen School of Technology, the university
has already become a favorite destination for students of the Eastern region in general and the North East region in
particular.
The university, spread over an area of 600 acres of sprawling lush green hilltop, is home to students from diverse socio-
cultural backgrounds. It respects the plurality of tradition and encourages a multicultural approach to human endeavor. The
university aspires to develop itself into a premier academic institution having ethos for excellence, where initiatives are
nurtured, where new ideas are received in an atmosphere of constructive criticism, where intellectual honesty is the norm
and where research is more useful and more economical is always the motivating force. Though situated in a remote part of
the country, it has never missed the larger picture and has tried to integrate the regional aspirations into the mainstream of
the nation.
In consonance with the university’s mission to provide support to the people of the region, the engineering courses being
offered will strive to generate skilled human resources to help provide cost-effective technical solutions to the people for
improving their living conditions.
As the university is aware of its role in the nation-building process, this school will serve as a technology-based knowledge
resource centre in the region. The University desires to be a catalyst in the growth of the North-East region to make it an
active contributor to the transformation of the nation into a technological superpower by 2030.
