M.Sc. in Bioinformatics - Batch of 2025
1.2
1Placements1Infrastructure2Faculty1Crowd & Campus Life1Value for Money
M.Sc. bioinformatics in this particular college is a waste of your time and money.
Placements: The college doesn't provide any sort of placements for the bioinformatics batch. The course itself started in the year 2022 and they don't have any laptops or software needed to teach bioinformatics. The department doesn't have any proper classroom facility, so the students have to constantly adjust and find any vacant classrooms for their classes. There are no companies recruiting anyone for this course. None of the students from this course got any internship from the college. If you want to do an internship, you have to join a workshop or training program from outside, as the college itself doesn't provide you with any.
Infrastructure: The classrooms are not equipped with computers, neither with a proper internet connection though computer classes are mentioned in the fee receipt. The classrooms are neither well-maintained nor cleaned properly. There is no canteen present in this college.
Faculty: The faculty has poor teaching skills and is not well-knowledgeable on the given subject. The teaching quality is average at best and the curriculum formed for this particular course is very poorly developed. The department doesn't have a proper HOD, so there is literally no one to listen to your complaints about the poor management or study style. Studying this course will not give the students any scope in the bioinformatics industry.
Other: Just join any other college for your studies.
