Peers are very talented in both academics and non-academics.

Placements: From the 5th semester onwards, students have to take up internships in the summer and can get placed from their internship or from 7th-semester placements. Companies such as Oracle, Amazon, and Google come to our college for placements. The packages vary from about 6 lakhs to 40 lakhs per annum. Almost 70-75% of the students get on-campus placements, while the rest mostly pursue higher studies.

Infrastructure: Campus life is good. There is a green lush campus that allows students to pursue their studies for 4 or 5 years, which makes them eligible to enter corporate life. The facilities provided here are top-class, as it is government-funded, so there is no problem with money, but it still lacks ACs. There is a Students Activity Center (SAC) that allows students to enhance their fitness, with facilities starting from a gym, badminton, chess, and table tennis; every game is available to play.

Faculty: The faculty are highly educated and skilled professionals, having graduated from the top institutes of the country. The course structure is the same for all 14 branches in the first year. In the second year, each branch dives into its core subjects; the 3rd year is the internship year, and the 4th year is for placements. The exams include one final exam, one mid-semester, and two quizzes each semester for every subject.

Campus life is superb, and the college has one of the largest campuses in India.

Placements: Placement is good primarily for specific branches such as Chemical, Paint, Mechanical, etc. In Paint, there’s 100% placement. For other branches, it largely depends on individual performance. Companies like Exxon Mobil, Tata Motors, Maruti Suzuki, Samsung, Honeywell, Amazon, and Adani Wilmar frequently recruit here. Average packages vary by branch; for instance, Chemical sees an average of 4 LPA, while Paint ranges between 5-6 LPA.

Infrastructure: Hostels offer good value for money, with double-sharing rooms. Most hostels are older but are equipped with Wi-Fi and 24-hour purified water. Each hostel has affordable canteens, following the Maharaja system used at IIT BHU. Food quality is generally very good. New hostels, such as Morvi 2, DG1, and DG2, have enhanced facilities.

Faculty: The curriculum is well-rounded, balancing academics with industrial experience. There are industry partnerships to help students understand practical applications rather than just theoretical knowledge. The college also organizes industrial trips and invites notable professionals in various fields to help students prepare for professional life after graduation.

Good infrastructure, facilities, atmosphere and placements.

Placements: The placement is good with every type of company profile available for every branch. Almost all of the students were placed except for a few who had opted for the higher studies. The package ranges between Rs. 6 Lacs Per Annum to Rs. 12 Lakhs Per Annum. The companies like EXL, Ola and ZS visited for the campus placement.

Infrastructure: Though the college campus is old, it provides a decent infrastructure for the academics, sports and hostels as well. The campus is equipped with wifi and LAN facility. There are two libraries and a few lecture theatres along with the departmental classrooms. The food in the mess of IIT (BHU) is ranked as the best among all the IITs and other colleges.

Faculty: The faculty members are supportive and provide complete guidance in whatever is the knowledge that is required. In my department, there are 8 faculty members for 15 students. The course curriculum is always being updated as per the requirement. The teachers use both, the board and the PPT, methods for teaching. We, the students, prefer the board method.

The oldest pharmacy institute of Asia with good placements and old but average infrastructure.

Placements: Starting from the placements of our seniors batch, the batch was 100% placed. Only M.Pharma people get 100% placements. The packages offered may be low, but the job is assured. The highest package was 7.2 lacs in Akash Institute, and the lowest was 3 lacs in Lupin Pharma. The companies which visited campus for the pharma people include, Novartis, Akash Institute, Jubilant, Dr Reddy's Labs, Sun Pharma, Evalueserve, Valuedge, Emcure, Mylan and Lupin. All the students are GPAT qualified, so 100% students got the internship from college, which was Rs.12,400 per month for M.Pharma research scholars.

Infrastructure: The facilities include fully Wi-Fi connected department, 7-8 classrooms, and dedicated labs of every professor with dedicated instruments. A pharma society is also established each year which looks into the extra-curricular activities and also the student-alumni interactions. The quality of labs is good, and these are well maintained. A central instrument lab is also there. 3 classrooms are having projector and seminar-related facilities, and the labs also have their own big screens for demonstration purposes.

Faculty: The faculty team is good, and every specialization is having 3-5 teachers. All of them are cooperative by nature and are ready to help students always. Qualification-wise, every teacher is minimum PhD-qualified, some are post-doctorate also, while some even have various other qualifications also. The teaching methods vary from chalk and talk to presentations via projectors and screens. The faculty-student ratio is 1:20, and industry visits happen occasionally. The course curriculum is very useful knowledge-wise as well as job-wise.

Other: Classes at FMS are interactive in nature and are a healthy mix of formal lectures, case studies, and presentations. An equal weightage of 50% is given to both internal and external exams. Tests are conducted on a regular basis which can be both, planned as well as surprise in nature. Although surprise tests are not very common, but students try and stay as up-to-date as possible in subjects such as Finance and Economics where you won't know when your knowledge is put to test. Students are not given any handouts as such but most of the teachers share their presentations with everyone.
