The college has many events, so college life never feels dull.

Placements: Internship opportunities provided by the college are limited. However, if you find an internship independently, you can get attendance credit by completing the required forms and process. Faculty members also offer internships under their guidance. Students become eligible for placements after the 6th semester. Companies that recruit at the college include JP Morgan, Gupshup Technology, Deloitte, Oracle, Goldman Sachs, and others. This year, the highest offer was 51.7 LPA from Google. Roughly 70% of students who apply for placements get placed. I plan to take a job and also participate in placements.

Infrastructure: The campus has a good canteen and two libraries: a lending library and a reference library. The libraries have a vast collection of books. Sports facilities include basketball, volleyball, and hockey, among others. There is also an annual sports competition. The college has many clubs and societies, most of which are student-run. Applications for these clubs open every year. Some of the clubs include the Student Council, Social Service League, and World Performing Arts.

Faculty: Faculty-student relationships vary depending on the faculty member. Some are strict but don't teach well, while others teach well but are lenient. There are two main exams: mid-semester and end-semester, along with other practical/internal tests throughout the semester.

The faculty and infrastructure is great.

Placements: I haven't quite enquired about the placements since companies visiting for microbiology placement are quite a few. Amongst the batch of 20, we all had done internships in several institutes. Some of us did in BARC, NIRRH, IIT, NIO and other institutes.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is great. Labs are provided with required equipments and the library is one of the oldest having proper references. The food of the canteen is good and decent for the prices. College provides alot of extracurricular activities & encourages students to pursue them. College also conducts various lecture series and guest lectures for student benefit.

Faculty: Yes, the teachers are helpful and have a Ph.D. in the subject. The course is relevant and makes them more research-oriented. The teaching faculty is excellent and they make use of various teaching aids making it interesting for the students. Also, the teachers make sure that students have clear concepts. Teachers' evaluation by students is done to improve the method of teaching if any.

Other: I chose this course due to my interest in it. Microbiologists can work in food, pharmaceutical, brewery, winery industries. The most interesting thing about the subject is the awareness created about your daily life through it. One thing which can be improved is that students could get more exposure to the industrial sector of this subject.
