Not very satisfied with. No campus life.
Placements: Not many students were placed in my course. I guess the lowest package offered was 3 LPA. the highest being 6 LPA. Companies like Wipro, cognizant, Equitos, and Ciranda IT. As far as I know, not many people were also offered internships. Biotechnologists and bioinformatics are the top roles offered in my course.
Infrastructure: We have good and secured lab facilities with well-constructed buildings. Playgrounds are available for a variety of sports, which makes us more interested in going to college. At the hostel, we have good maintenance and food facilities. Non-vegetarian food is provided for everyone, with a small canteen available for our convenience.
Faculty: The teachers are friendly to deal with. The staff is also good at teaching and student interactions. Exams are not so difficult if the students follow the instructions given beforehand by the staff. And the curriculum is also good to begin with, covering almost everything in biotechnology.
Other: My department conducts two annual events, such as a symposium on Sarvasastra and a meeting of Biozone. The college is not very eventful. No culturals and no tour.

Faculty: Exams were frequently for students. Our university laboratories were not good. Faculty members were very energetic and talented, and they clear the students' doubts. The interactions with alumni were very effective. This contributes to better relationships with students.
Other: This college provides scholarships for the students under the welfare schemes of the student. I did not avail any scholarships from this college. The management helps the students in getting the loans.
