B.Sc. in Zoology - Batch of 2018

2.6

A college that pretends to be a premiere institution without even having a Wi-Fi connectivity.

Placements: The placements here are very poor in the science subjects. Students here, absolutely get no placements, but for the commerce streams, there are placement drives from the companies like EY. But, they too are not regular, and only a few students get placed in these companies. Even if they are placed, the average salary package is as low as Rs. 3.5 lakhs per annum. There is no placement cell in the college and also a few to zero internships are given to the students with no stipend or proper guidance.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is just basic with no Wi-Fi and other technological facilities. There are 6 hostels on the campus and a common mess. The food served here is good and tasty. The classrooms are too small or too large with no proper ventilation. The labs here are average with instruments that belong to the stone age. The library is just very good along with the sports and games facilities in the college.

Faculty: The teaching quality of the faculty is average and depends on the teachers. Some teachers are just perfect while others are not up to the mark. Most of the teachers are PhD holders but does not know anything about teaching. The teachers are admitted here based on the marks they secured during their Master's degree rather than assessing their teaching qualities. Also a good for nothing industrial exposures is given to the students.

Other: There are a lot of fun events and fests conducted here. The college crowd and surroundings are fun here. There is no Wi-Fi, and you are not allowed to use laptops or smartphones in hostels.

B.Sc. in Zoology - Batch of 2024

Best college for B.Sc. Zoology.

Placements: SB College was one of the best Arts and Science colleges in Kerala that provides good placements. The highest pay goes up to 17.6 LPA. Even students from our B.Sc. Zoology batch got placements in reputed companies with a package of 6.2 LPA. However, bio-based placements were rare.

Infrastructure: The college had all the facilities that any of the best colleges in the country can offer. The Zoology museum was said to be the best in Kerala. The Zoology department had its own full-fledged library, apart from the central library of the college. There were three spacious labs and a computer lab as well. They had put ornamental plants on the verandah, creating a relaxed environment. As far as hostels were concerned, there were 5 men's hostels, and they were not very posh. There was a building for a new hostel for boys with modern facilities that might get ready by 2026.

Faculty: The faculty of the college was very reputed. Some of the members of the faculty are placed on the world's top 2 percent of scientists' list by Stanford University. In the Zoology department, all the permanent faculty members were PhD holders from reputed national institutes. They had a diverse range of expertise, included Neurobiology, Biotechnology, Bioinformatics, Wildlife Biology, and Entomology. Heard that the college did not take capitation money for the appointment of teachers and looks only at merit. Most teachers were very friendly with the students and were approachable.

Other: I chose Zoology because I wanted to study Biology. Initially I planned to study B.Sc. Biotechnology. I consulted a scientist in Biotechnology via my uncle and was advised to study Zoology instead of Biotechnology at graduation level because Zoology gave you a grounding in the subject required for advanced studies in biotechnology. I did my Master's in Molecular Medicine and cleared the CSIR JRF, and I am trying to join a good institute for my PhD in Biotechnology or Molecular Biology.
