It provides good infrastructure, library, and placements can be better.

Placements: Around 15-20% of students were placed. Most pharmaceutical companies come for hiring during the end of semester 3 of the master's degree and continue for 2-3 months. Incharge notifies at least 3-4 days in advance so that students can prepare for an interview. Zydus, Cadila, Sun pharma, Aakash and Allen institute visit to hire students. Others may vary based on the agreement between the college and company. The average salary offered was Rs 15,000 per month which gradually increased based on experience and performance. QA, QC, and analyst were common job titles for pharma companies. There was a mandatory summer internship where students got scientific exposure.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure was good. It provides good library where students can borrow books for a week at least. Wi-Fi was provided only if students get their laptop registered but connectivity was not good. The classrooms were good with projectors. There was no air-conditioner in 2018-2020. The hostel facility was good it was in sharing among 2-6 students in a room. Both air-conditioner and non-air-conditioner rooms were available. There was a mess on the campus and it was indeed affordable. The food was good, and students get a lot of varieties of food.

Faculty: Teachers were well qualified with the Ph.D. degree. Most of them had 10 years of teaching experience in their respective field. The teaching quality was good and they teach mainly with powerpoint presentations. Course curriculum makes students ready for industry. Semester exams were easy to pass if students works hard from the beginning.

Other: I opted for this course, because of my interest in it. Scholarships should be provided to students who were program toppers. Many extra-curricular activities were conducted across the year. Many live events were conducted. Singing, dancing, painting many more competitions were conducted every year.

It's the number one university to provide placements in Gujarat.

Placements: As this university is in the 4th position among all private colleges in India as per the list of 2020, obviously placements are very good. Many companies like Zydus Cadila, Cipla, etc., offer placement opportunities to students of our university. The salary package offered by companies is totally worth our efforts.

Infrastructure: All infrastructure and instruments for our biotechnology course are available. Our lab is completely well settled and properly suitable. The hostel is very well built, especially for students who are from out of town. The food served in the mess is very tasty and of better quality. The environment of the hostel and college is very peaceful.

Faculty: Teachers of our course and also other faculty members are very helpful and kind here. They all are PhD doctors. Their teaching quality is very impressive, and they teach not only by normal method but also by other devices like projectors, etc. They train students so that students completely cope with the industry.

Other: I chose the biotechnology course as it provides great knowledge. If opportunities in India for this course increase, it would be great for India. Many events and fests or activities are celebrated in our university. Our college is absolutely worth to take admission to.

Higher fees, Needs to improve practical aspect of curriculum and placements.

Placements: Average placements. Mostly offered initial salary of 2.1Lacs per annum (much less as compared to any other renowned Institute like Nirma). Has good tieups with some pharma companies. Placement cells is there but still needs to get better. On can chose to work hard and get into college with better placement record or where they can get higher packages.

Infrastructure: Excellent campus. But Institute of Science needs better classroom facility, students needs to be allowed hands on training on sophisticated devices in laboratory. Needs industrial visit or training opportunities. Needs better canteen for Institute of Science.

Faculty: Excellent faculty members with knowledge, teaching and support except few. Highly potential research and project work is undertaken but needs to look for better outcomes. There was no industry exposure rather it was mostly about attendance and assignments!

The best private college in Gujarat.

Placements: I got placed in Zydus Pfizer Oncology Pvt. Ltd. with 1.9 lacs per annum as the starting package which is less than the fees I paid to the university, but it's better than having nothing. Our college placement cell works continuously to provide good opportunities to students. They try until every student gets placed in a good company across India.

Infrastructure: The college has good infrastructure with lots of facilities for students. Cricket ground, basketball ground, football ground, badminton ground, volleyball and other indoor games facilities are provided to students. A gym is available on the university campus near to the hostel.

Faculty: The faculty and course are purely research-based. All faculty help each and every student in the institute. They all treat every student like their own children. They support students in extracurricular activities too.

Other: A very big event in Ahmedabad is conducted by Nirma University named as Horizon. Other national and international conferences are arranged in the university.

You come here to be a science student and you get something more and better.

Placements: Placements at the Nirma University are quite interesting as good companies are always looking for candidates from Nirma University as it has earned that level of reputation. For Institute of Science, placement oriented workshops and training are provided as they matter much, if one wants to be in a good company. Good companies offer various job profiles, but once you are selected, your chances for opting other profile are finished. These are according to the rules of the placement committee. So, students need to be careful in grabbing correct opportunities. If somehow anyone is still not placed at anywhere, you are updated regarding the offers for next few years, and good students indeed get the job in good time.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is good, but there are still many things which can be done better. Laboratory facilities are good as many external projects are going on, and in future, there will be good development regarding the same. The library here is also very much better compared to any other institutions.

Faculty: Faculty members are highly qualified, and almost everyone has an external project which gives more opportunities to students for learning. Because of the PhD students with each faculty, it is easier for Masters' students to understand the depth of each subject. Also, the courses are designed very nicely that each part of the subject is covered which is the requirement of the modern era.

Other: The campus is fabulous. You get engineering, law, management, pharmacy and science students together at one campus. Interactive events are also there so that you can make a better team. There always a better opportunity of successful startups if a team can be built having all the qualities and knowledge. Each month you get a chance to interact with other stream students, and you get developed every day here. Sports are just amazing here, and infrastructure for the same is something which is very rare. You get to see a beautiful playground for the cricket with an amazing pitch. Simultaneously all the sports are given justice with an infrastructure for each game.
