Satisfied with the infrastructure and dissatisfied with the placement.
Placements: Placement is very poor only 1 student till now got a chance in our batch. Top companies are mainly hospital industries and the role offered for this course are dietitian and nutritionist. The pay scale is also not at all satisfied. No one get any kind of internship.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure is very good they have many labs for different course and purpose. Library facility is also very good and easy. Many classrooms have air conditioner provided and it also contain projector for study. Hostel facility is very poor and the food quality is not good.
Faculty: Teachers were very helpful, qualified and knowledgeable. Teaching quality was very amazing. It is relevant and it does make the student ready for hospital industries. Semester exams were not so difficult because internals were mainly presentation and MCQ based.
Other: I choose this because I like this course. They should improve some classrooms and toilets.
