M.Sc. in Biotechnology - Batch of 2029

5.0

My honest review of my college.

Placements: Placements are good with a lot of pharma-related companies coming into recruit skilled and able students. Internships in college are a true possibility with professors who lead multidisciplinary labs. No stipend is provided for the internship. We are the first batch of M.Sc. students to be sitting for placements, so prior information is not available yet.

Infrastructure: Hostel infrastructure is good, it has good sports facilities and a strict no alcohol, cigarette, and drugs policy with wardens who keep things in order and strict timings for entry and exit. The cost for mess is a little high considering that they only serve vegetarian food.

Faculty: Structured well to give a proper and deep understanding of the life Science field. The graduate programme is one of the best in the country, with adequate exposure to research-based skills. Exams are conducted thrice a semester, and all marks are taken into consideration for the final CGPA. The faculty-to-student ratio is more than impressive, with skilled and highly qualified professionals who are interested and approachable. They guide one properly, along with being regular to classes and taking the effort to make the students understand. The course curriculum for M.Sc. courses has been designed according to the guidelines of UGC strictly. The syllabus is very extensive. The faculty is very experienced and learned. Lab facilities are good. The syllabus is completed on time. Exams and other evaluation measures are conducted with seriousness.

Promising career opportunities made by them.

Placements: The probability of getting hired in various pharmaceutical companies, research centers, diagnostic centers, and biotechnology centers. The starting package offered to the students would be 3.58 LPA, and extended upto 13.5 LPA as the highest grabbed offers till now.

Infrastructure: The college was surrounded by a lot of organisations and corporate companies which would be the main landmarks in the city. This created some extra fame for the college and very much easier for students to visit the college. Transportation had been supported for 100+ KM from the college.

Faculty: Teachers were so transparent with the parents about our marks, that activity was immediately reported to the parents via phone calls. Parents were immediately called off even for the little problems. Like schools, we should get signed from the report cards issued by the examinations were the most difficult thing to clear without studying harder and deeper.

Satisfying college, good placement and faculty.

Placements: About 80 percent of students got placement. The M.Sc. Biotechnology course has four semesters. Each semester, the fee is INR 7000. The companies that offer placement are Serum Institute, Genetic, and Biocon. They got jobs under the vacancies of project associate and lab technician. Amrita has a good placement office that works effectively for the placement of students.

The lab contains good facilities with all the equipment needed for a Science lab, such as PCR, a genetic analyzer, SDS-PAGE, and AGE electrophoresis apparatus. It provides a Wi-Fi network for the use of students and faculty. The library has a wide range of books, and the staff is friendly and helpful.

Faculty: Amrita has qualified teachers with doctorates and postdocs. They are friendly and well qualified, with a helping mentality. It has a relevant syllabus that makes students efficient for their further studies and future jobs. The semester exams are easy, and the pass percentage is always above 90%.

Give an idea for developing new researchers.

Placements: Campus collaborated with the top search centres, organisations, ICMR, and CSIR for hiring. Emcure, Novartis, and Intas are the most expected recruiters in the campus drives for biotechnology graduates, with the package starting from 3.4 LPA to 8.5 LPA. Students with excellent projects and research are offered good pay.

Infrastructure: Molecular laboratory and plant anatomical laboratories are equipped with the required specimen fluid, specimens, and examination equipment. An assistant for the laboratories is always available to maintain the laboratories properly. I am disappointed with them, because they won't be satisfied with our research force to implement some other better ideas.

Faculty: The syllabus covers major topics like molecular biology, genetic engineering, plant Biology, and so on, while professors are highly familiar with and popular with all that coverage. As professors are brought up with discoveries that are quite inspiring.
