I'm dissatisfied with the crowd, vintage infrastructure, and the surroundings of the college.
Placements: In my class, there are 48 students i.e. in 2nd year B.Sc. The fees are Rs. 30,000, and for OBC and other caste students it is only Rs. 2000. No top companies visit our college. Internships are mostly in microbiology labs in the hospital. About 20%-30% of students got their internship including me. Microbiologist, bioinformatics, biochemistry, and immunology are most offered in my course.
Infrastructure: My college infrastructure is of British times, it is very cool but there is not much network in the college. There is no canteen in the college and lifts are not for students. Stairs are made of stone and are very high. I feel very tired. Pigeons are all over. I don't stay in hostel.
Faculty: Some teachers are very good while some are least interested. Course curriculum is relevant. It is difficult lot because due to NEP, they teach a lot and ask only 40% of what they have taught, it is hard to cover all the topics, so students copy.
Other: I like microbiology hence I chose this course. However, this course doesn't have much scope in India. I would the course to grow in India. Our departmental fest is known as Primers, it is our college one biggest fest.
