It is a very good college.

Placements: Students with good CGPA got placed in the biotechnology course. The majority of students went for higher studies and specialisations. Top recruiting companies are Zycus and Biopharma. Placements are not very good at Amity University Kolkata.

Infrastructure: We have all the facilities such as air-conditioned classrooms, Wi-F, well-equipped labs, and a huge library. The condition of the hostel is not up to the mark. The hostel does not have a mess. All hostellers have to go to the canteen to have their meals. We have a first aid clinic near the hostel which is good and accessible to all students. There are indoor games and a sports complex which includes a multicourt, table tennis room, squash room, swimming pool, and other facilities. Everything is good.

Faculty: The attendance criteria are 75%. Our course faculty members are very knowledgeable and friendly. They are very helpful and kind. They look out for their students. The curriculum involves B.Tec. We have all the B.Tech subjects that other students study. It makes us industry-ready. The mid-semester exams are a little difficult to prepare the students for the final terms. The final terms are easy. The pass percentage is about 40%.

Other: I chose this course because it involves technical study as well as research work so I have quite knowledge about all the things. Our college is known for its events and fests. It has a very happening crowd and campus life.

There is a bad placement strategy here.

Placements: We are students of Amity University, Kolkata and joined this college to make our future better, but in this institution, only 5%-6% of CSE students get placed. Moreover, other branches' students have to find jobs on their own or else have to attend placements in Byju's or Deloitte companies. The highest salary package offered here is 6 LPA, and the lowest salary package offered is 2 LPA. None of the companies visits here to offer placements for biotechnology. Internships are also not offered here.

Infrastructure: Our college is famous only for its 5-star rating infrastructure and luxury life. Studies are rated with 5 stars out of 5 stars. There is a well functioning Wi-Fi, labs, classrooms, library, hostel, etc. All the facilities provided in the hostel and campus are good, but there is a problem when you wish to go out. You have to make a lot of excuses to go out.

Faculty: Teachers and the study system are very good here. Teachers are qualified, very helpful and knowledgeable. What we study here is worth the money. Teachers don't make students industry-ready, but they develop skills, which are very important for industry placement and a better future.

Other: I chose this course because I want to do research, so I thought this course is the best for me. The best thing about this course is we have more practicals than theory. I suggest our college to remove more computer languages from our course, which are of no use. Everything is fine here, and only the placements are a problem.

Absolutely satisfied because of infrastructure and faculty members.

Placements: 80% of the students were placed. 90% of students got internships.

Infrastructure: The labs are well-equipped and the college has the best infrastructure. There is a medical shop on the campus. There is a gym and various indoor-outdoor sports available in the college.

Faculty: The teachers are really helpful and knowledgeable. The course curriculum is quite relevant.

Other: Biotechnology is right now a growing career and after this pandemic biotechnology has flourished a lot. Vaccine production is a main part of biotechnology.

Good infrastructure and facilities but lacking a little in placements.

Placements: 1.40% of students were placed. 2. The highest salary- 4.7 Lacs package the lowest-1.8 LPA. 3. Nestle was the top recruiter previous year. 4. Quality control manager, Sales Manager in the Biotechnology field were the roles offered.100% got internship in renowned companies on their own, no college intervention was included. Like in Mother diary, Medical Colleges, IITs, Cipla, etc.

Infrastructure: As per infrastructure is considered it is the best with Wi-Fi, labs, proper classroom facilities and all. Hostel and all are undoubtedly the best among many Colleges. They have AC access in classrooms and hostel rooms with 3 canteens in totality. Full centralised AC is provided.

Faculty: Teachers are well qualified and knowledgeable with average teaching quality as it varies from teacher to teacher. The course curriculum is 50-50 relevant but I can already make this statement clear that it doesn't make a student industry ready definitely.

Other: 1. I chose this course because I was inclined towards biology and it's technical uses. 2. I wish it was more developed in India and had more implementations in the Indian industry as it lacks basic job opportunities in the core industry. 3. The main event is Amiphoria and amity Kolkata hosts all the auditions of Zeetv, Sony, star plus, colors, MTV in the college campus.

Student Friendly Campus With Good Infrastructure & Faculty.

Placements: I am currently in 3rd year of my course and our seniors batch haven't seen campus placements still. They are the first batch to be selected for placement. Their grooming is going on basis of their quantitative analysis skills and field knowledge. So no company has visited this campus regarding biotechnology so far. But yes some have shown interest. One can check the list of companies in university placement website.

Infrastructure: Overall infrastructure is so good. Wi-Fi connect is available but you have to register for that once you are a student. Library has shortage of books and issue duration is only of 2 weeks. Labs are so beneficial but sometimes shortage of chemicals occurs as well as equipments ( like recently shortage of Petri plates is going on. Though in this case faculty members will arrange things personally). Classrooms are so good and well maintained with CCTV surveillance. In canteen only veg meal is served. Lastly, I am dayscholar but my friends have told me that hostel accommodation is very nice. They are totally satisfied.

Faculty: Faculty members here in Amity University, Kolkata so qualified and helpful. They know one student not only by name but also are very much aware of one's strength and weaknesses. Teaching quality is also good. In case of teaching method, it is so much notes oriented and questions in exams come only from suggestions of given 30-50 questions, which I honestly dislike most. Question pattern in exam is also not GATE or other competitive exam like ( It comprises of 5 questions of 6 marks, 2 questions of 10 marks and 1 question of 20 marks and all are broad answer type questions, no MCQs). Student to faculty ration is good, classes are held properly. For external curriculum like project or paper publishing students should come forward and show interest. No faculty will give you information from their own unless one is showing interest.

Other: The overall campus environment is so fantastic. Amity is 100% ragging free. Students are so friendly. Seniors are so helpful. Every department event is organized with collaboration of both seniors and juniors and it witnesses every time a clear success. The campus surrounding is also so good and well maintained. Amity always encourage cleaniness and a green campus. Student can get a scholarship of 100% and 50% on basis of their score during admission and also during university course on basis of GPA.

The college is average regarding placements, laboratories, and curriculum.

Placements: Considering it is the first time AUK is being eligible for providing placements, we are not encouraged about the idea that some good number of reputed companies are going to participate in the placements. But I got to know that some companies like Flipkart, Byjus, etc., visit the campus to hire the students by offering salary packages of around 6 LPA. More companies are yet to visit the campus for placements.

Infrastructure: Classrooms, library, Wi-Fi facility, and medical facilities are well-developed. There is equipment in the laboratories, but advanced labs are being developed. Well, I did expect a campus like this to have an advanced lab facility for the students to get exposed to practical applications. Honestly, labs here were a bit of disappointment, though we are expecting those to be developed soon.

Faculty: Teachers in the college are helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. But I have a little complaint regarding the curriculum. A few unnecessary subjects like history were included in the 1st-year when I joined this college. Otherwise, teachers have always been friendly, providing sufficient notes.

Other: AUK indulges in a lot of extracurricular activities. An annual fest named Amiphoria and a sports meet named Sangathan are organised in the college. Also, it provides a huge platform for students who are blessed with talents like dancing, singing, acting, writing, etc.

My overall experience in this college is not that good.

Placements: The placements in the college are very bad when it comes to biotech because my seniors are in 4th year, and still, no company visited the campus for recruitment. I don't know what happens next. Moreover, industry exposure is not given to the students. There is a placement cell, but they do nothing for students.

Infrastructure: The only thing that's good in this college, and personally, for which I feel like I am paying, is the decor. They have just built the infrastructure very well to attract more students. They offer 24*7 Wi-Fi facilities, but half of the time, the network is not good. Medical aids are hardly available for students. Moreover, I hate the food in the canteen as it is terrific.

Faculty: The faculty members are good and knowledgeable, but there are also some who aren't even fit to teach. The teaching quality is better. The student to faculty ratio is 50:1. They use PPTs for explaining the subjects, which is helpful sometimes and sometimes, it is not.

Other: Fests are organised in the college. Here, the students focus more on extracurricular activities than sports. So, if you are interested in events and sports, then you are most welcome to this college.

I'm satisfied with the campus and faculty, but it lacks in placements.

Placements: Since the college is recently built, we are facing a bit of problem regarding the placements. The placement cell is trying their best to come up with more new companies in the coming years to keep up 75% of the placement rate. In the coming years, the college is expected to increase it rapidly.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is amazing and lavish. Hostel facilities and cleanliness are good. There is a huge auditorium, a 2-floor library, and two cafeterias in the college. The only problem is that they just provide vegetarian food. The classrooms and labs are top-class.

Faculty: Teachers in the college are well-qualified and are always ready to help the students when needed. They always guide us with future plans. They clear our doubts in a very easy way. The teachers are friendly with us as they are recent PhD holders.

Other: A fest named Amiphoriam, and many TV shows like India's got talent and dance plus auditions are held in the college. Colours of youth is also held in the college.
