M.Sc. in Biotechnology - Batch of 2017

4.2

Best for masters in biotechnology.

Placements: For M.Sc. in biotechnology, we did not have any direct campus interviews or placements. However, some recruiters contacted us indirectly through our HOD and the college placement cell. The average salary offered would be 5-6 lacs p.a. The companies generally included scientific writing, pharmaceutical and biotechnology-based firms. As a part of our fourth semester, we were supposed to complete a four-month internship in any reputed research institute. Generally, the students of our stream are not offered any stipend during this internship.

Infrastructure: This college is very popular due to its British architecture and well established modern infrastructure. There is a central Wi-Fi facility available to all the students free of cost. The college also has good laboratory set-ups, spacious classrooms and a very profound library. Moreover, the basketball court gives adequate room for students to indulge in sports and games. The college also has a hostel facility for boys. Moreover, the canteen offers a great variety of healthy and hygienic food. The sanitary conditions are also excellent.

Faculty: The faculty of the college is truly enlightening and experienced. They offer knowledge and guidance through student-friendly interactions. Modern teaching methods including presentations, discussions, debate, etc. are used. The student-faculty ratio in my department was about 10:1. Industry exposure was less in my course. However, the course curriculum offered various useful scientific streams as well as allied works.

Other: The exposure and opportunities available at this college are remarkably better than any other college in Mumbai offering M.Sc. In biotechnology course. Also, the autonomous nature of the college and its good management system are added advantages to students since they could reap out maximum benefits from the course in a limited period of time.
