My honest review about my college.

Placements: Actually, from the 2nd semester, students can apply for placements. Almost 50-70% of students were placed in this course. The highest and the lowest packages of salary are offered, and it depends on the performance of students. The highest salary is something like 20,000 per month. On the other hand, the lowest salary is 35,000 per month. The average salary offer in the course is approximately 20,000 per month. By campus placement, Cogent, Tata Consultancy Services, Concentrix, and many others offer job opportunities to fresh graduates. Good salary package, good future, and initiative towards a better life.

Infrastructure: Didn’t avail, but I used to go there, everything was fine. Food is good, accommodation and cleanliness are good. In the budget, it is better than others. They provide medical and Wi-Fi facilities at the place. The course curriculum was quite good, but the faculty was a mixture of good and bad. Most of the time, classes didn’t run, especially in the 2nd and 3rd years.

Faculty: There is no lab there. The classrooms for exams are very pathetic. The furniture there is so broken. There are no semesters. We just go for a single time to give exams. Our course is very huge and covers many research fields. It opens up opportunities for doing a PhD in any field we are interested in. The faculty of our college is highly educated and helps us in any way.

My honest review of my college.

Placements: College provides no placements to any of the students. Agra College is a government college, hence the fee structure was very low, No company visited our campus. The facility of internships was very poor. I didn't get through any internship during my studies. Hence I had no internship experience during my study time.

Infrastructure: Hostel facilities were average, and mess food was not good. Washrooms were not neat and clean. It was whole corruption which one can see easily. The food served in the mess was not of good quality.

Faculty: Exam structure was good during our course. It was chilled out. Cheating was definitely not allowed to students. Pattern of the question paper was very strict. But according to syllabus, most faculty of the college was not very good. It was an average. Teachers did not used to come to classrooms, while student were particularly waiting for them. The hostel rooms are quite comfortable and good. Registration for the hostel should be done at the time of admission. The course duration was 2 years, and the syllabus was quite good. The subjects were reliable. In the first three semesters, there were 5 subjects compulsory, and in the last semester, we had two choices in subjects.

My honest review of my college.

Placements: In my opinion, the degree from that college was not very valuable, and there were 0% placements. The college was affiliated with Agra University and was in a slum-like area, so companies did not come there for placements. I did not go for any internship because I had to do articleship training for CA. The articleship training lasted for three years, during which you had to work under a CA as an article. The stipend, as per ICAI rules, was Rs. 2,500 per month.

Infrastructure: I got a hostel room in the first year. The hostel was good, and the mess was also good, but due to personal reasons, I left the hostel and rented a 2BHK flat outside the college for Rs. 4,500 plus the electricity bill.

Faculty: There were no labs there. The classrooms for exams were very pathetic, and the furniture was broken. There were no semesters. We just went once to give the exams. Faculty of Law at Aligarh Muslim University was truly a lawyer's hub with well-qualified teaching staff and an elaborate semester system. It provided everything needed for academics as well as for competitive exams, though self-study was undoubtedly a must. The course length was 2 years, and the prospectus was very acceptable. The subjects were solid in the initial three semesters. There were 5 compulsory subjects, and in the last semester, there were two subject choices.

My review of this college.

Placements: Our college provides 1 year of lab work for research. The stipend offered is Rs. 5,000 per month. The experience so far is very good and we are still working on projects. Mostly, students choose a PhD over a job, but if anyone wants to get into a job they they can get good placements and job opportunities. The starting package ranges from Rs. 15,000-30,000 per month. Many industries came for placements like R&D, Maya Biotech, and pharmaceutical companies. The placement cell is present for each faculty and department. The student wing also conducts a general placement cell for opportunities from all backgrounds of students.

Infrastructure: The hostel facility is very good. It has a 24-hour water and electricity supply. The environment is very good. Only mess charges are paid by students every month and it is very cheap. The mess bill is around Rs. 3,000 per month and food quality is normal. The mess provides 2 types of vegetables and 1 type of dal, including chapati and price. The college focuses mostly on practical learning in clinical subjects rather than paying attention to para-clinicals and non-clinicals. The college assigns students to go and observe the hospital. Many practicals and projects are given by the college.

Faculty: Faculty members of the college are very supportive and helpful. They provide good lectures. They provide theoretical as well as practical knowledge. Because of the good and caring faculty members, I feel blessed with the knowledge that was helping me today. They provide future perspective knowledge to be independent. The exam structure is semester-wise. There are mid-semester and after 6 months semester exams. For the UG course, it has 6 semesters, and for the PG course, there are 4 semesters. Each subject is evaluated on a 10 scale by 100-mark paper. It has 30 marks mid-semester which consists of 10 marks presentations and 20 marks tests. It has 70 marks for the full semester exam.

Sweet summarized content about DRBAU.

Placements: Some pharmaceutical and biotech industries were actively involved in the hiring process for our courses. Companies like GlaxoSmithKline, Syngene International and Shantha Biotechnics took part in the drives, with the highest package offered being 14.3 LPA.

Infrastructure: The college management was so surprising, especially in the canteen area. The canteen zone was peaceful, with thousands of seats where we could eat and relax without interruptions. The administration of the college was mainly handled by the principal/dean while others took part in decision-making.

Faculty: Faculty members had good connectivity with students and had a minimum of five years of experience. Teachers were optimistic and responsible in their duties. Teachers have normalized attitudes towards students even in the hectic period of college.

Yes I'm going to recommend this college for any one who wants to study in Agra.

Placements: Research analyst, QC, Ph.D. R&D jobs and we can also apply for DRDO jobs and AIIMS research analytics. You can also apply for government analytics posts and for Ph.D. too. There is an another option for further studies like Net or DBT scholarships. So yes there are a lot of options in this stream.

Infrastructure: Labs are great but I don't know about Wi-Fi facilities now. There are a common hostel but that was good and good for security purposes too. I mean for girls. Games facilities are not available I think and I don't know about canteens because we have our mess in our hostel.

Faculty: Our teachers were very supportive and great. Yes some of my seniors are still working in PepsiCo. Partly. Yes 2nd and 3rd semesters were tough for me. In fourth semester. I got an opportunity to complete my dissertation in AIIMS Delhi and I grabbed that. So I'm happy for my experiences.

Other: I chose biotechnology because I want to do something in Biology with technical knowledge so then I saw this stream in my university curriculum. Yes scholarships are available for SC-ST, OBC and EVS categories.

Good college with good surroundings and knowledgeable faculty members.

Placements: The percentage of students who placed in my course was 80-90%. Students got placed in good companies. The highest average package of my course was 8 LPA. The lowest average package was 4.5 LPA. The top recruiting companies hiring students were pharmaceutical companies like Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, Cipla, Lupin, and some food processing companies like Nestlé India. The percentage of students placed from my course was 50% to 60% at companies like Lupin and food processing companies. The top roles were Quality Assurance Officer and Scientist.

Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure available in my department were good. Wi-Fi was available at very high speed, and the laboratories were clean and hygienic. The library had sufficient books for the students. The quality of food available in the hostel was not very good. The canteen food quality was also not very good. The medical facilities available on campus were good. The sports facilities available on my campus were also very good.

Faculty: Teachers were very helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. The teaching quality was very good. The course curriculum was relevant and helped students become industry-ready by providing practical knowledge in the labs, such as the use of microscopes, testing labs, and R&D labs. The semester exams in the college were not very hard, and most students passed. The pass percentage in my course was 60-70%.

Other: I chose this course because I was interested in research fields and wanted to work in research as a scientist or as a Quality Control Officer. The best thing about my course was that it had a lot of practical work to help develop good skills. One thing that should have been improved was regular communication classes after intervals between classes to improve communication skills for company interviews. Events, fests, connectivity, crowd, and campus life were good, and the surroundings were also very good. Scholarships were given to students, and extracurricular activities were also conducted.
