The college has good infrastructure.

Placements: There is a need for improvement in the administration of the University and the timing of the classes being conducted. Most of the students got placements in the placement cell organized by the college, and mostly junior students get internships through it.

NISER Bhubaneswar for M.Sc. course admission.

Placements: This college has the best placement facilities available, but it is not for everyone because there is a condition for participating in the placement required, 50% marks are compulsory in your final exam. The salary offered ranges from 2 LPA to 5 LPA, but these companies do not offer any roles to students.

Good infrastructure and research support.

Placements: Most of them are pursuing a PhD in prestigious universities in India or abroad. There is not a placement cell as such, but I am pursuing my PhD in Canada with an annual stipend of INR 15 Lakh per annum. For my department (chemistry), it was mainly Macleod Pharmaceuticals.

It is a really good campus to be part of and has a great community.

Placements: No direct placements are offered by any company, but most of the students choose to study after the course. Good recommendations from high-level faculty give you chances for internships and Ph.D. positions at top international universities and labs around the world.

Very good college with very negligible fees. Good faculty and infrastructure.

Placements: There are no direct placements in our college. Students usually have to apply for jobs or PhD on their own. Most of the people pursue PhD after this course, but many also try for different competitive exams. For internships, it's the same: students have to apply by themselves and get internships at different institutes here or abroad, or in any company. Top roles like JRF, SRF, PhD Fellow, are some of the most common.

One of the best colleges for pursuing Ph.D. courses.

The average package offered was between 8-12 LPA. Various national and multinational research companies visit the college for placements. Top roles offered were researchers, research fellows, etc.
