M.Sc. in Bioinformatics - Batch of 2023

Offered by Mahila Maha Vidyalaya, Banaras Hindu University

5Placements5Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

Overall, best University for M.Sc. In Bioinformatics Course.

Placements: In our college, 70% of the students were placed from our batch. The highest package on campus was 6 LPA, and the lowest was 2LPA, the average is 4LPA. Top recruiters were Jubilant Biosys, Roche, Aurigene Discover, etc. In the end, the internship was not as high as the university had promised. The roles assigned were Bioinformatics Analyst, Computational Biologist, and so on.

Infrastructure: The college amenities were excellent. Comprehensive amenities include multimedia for efficient classroom instruction, digital tools, and access to sporting facilities. The hostel rooms were well decorated. The environment at college is fascinating. The interior roads were relatively smooth, and the rooms were in good condition.

Faculty: The college has excellent faculty members who have enough experience in their domain to teach you. The faculty was recruited from abroad and industry experts to enhance the learning of the students. Character development was given as much priority as implementation. Modern technology was used to educate students.

Banaras Hindu University is the best college.

Placements: Placements are available and it is quite good as many of us present there and participated in all these things. Some companies visit the college for placements. Many students get placed. The average package is approximately 6 LPA. In Geology and Chemistry, we have very good job opportunities just after graduation compared to mathematics and physics. After post-graduation, we have a little chance for placements in maths and physics with a salary package that ranges from 4-5 LPA.

Infrastructure: The hostel facility is excellent. It has 24-hour light, a mess facility, and purified RO drinking water. A computer library is available for students. Internet facility is available for every student in the hostel.

Faculty: There are efficient and qualified faculty members at BHU. Every faculty member is well-established in their field of specialisation. Every course offers a very balanced amount of faculty members for the number of students. If a batch has 60 students for Zoology Hons, almost 10-12 teachers are teaching the same, so there is a good division of topics and attention over each student. The course curriculum is very relevant. Things we are taught are the most skillful and to be used things in further studies. The level of education is very good according to the course. We are taught everything. There are also lab facilities that provide practical knowledge hand in hand with theoretical knowledge.

It is a very affordable college for middle class students.

Placements: For third-year students, the 4th semester is the minimum requirement for students to become eligible for campus placements. The names of the companies visited in Invertis University Bareilly are Infosys, Tech Mahindra, TCS, and many more companies. The highest package is 41 Lacs, and the average package is 6-9 Lacs. Placement opportunity for the students is almost high.

Infrastructure: There are many conferences held in departments on a regular basis. The student well-being cell is there, which helps students for their good mental health. Akansha Fest is held in the faculty of science, in which writing essays, poetry, singing, dancing, drawing, and many more things are there to explore yourself in different modes every year.

Faculty: The faculty-to-student ratio is 20/1. Faculty and student relationships are more attractive and beautiful. The name of the faculty member is Mr Amritanesh Mishra, sir. I like him very much because his teaching skill is very impressive. 2 exams for the semester and 2 exams for midterms or unit tests in a year are conducted. Exams are not very tough.

M.Sc. in Mathematics - Batch of 2024

2Placements4Infrastructure4Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

BHU: The Beauty of Banaras.

Placements: At the Department of Mathematics, Institute of Science, placements are not much encouraged. In my time, 4 students were placed with a package of 5 to 6 Lacs in a batch of 120. But now they have a placement cell where you have to join, and they mostly call companies from the edtech sector. However, in other departments like Zoology, Botany, and Chemistry, placements are good. In my department, they do not offer too many internships; during my time, there was only one, which was Vedic Mathematics. But there is IIT BHU, where you can apply for internships in the Department of Mathematics.

Infrastructure: The M.Sc. in Mathematics is a 2-year course, consisting of 4 semesters. Exams are held semester-wise. For 20 marks, they hold a mid-semester exam after 2 months from the start of the semester, 10 marks are given for attendance and class performance, and then 70 marks for the end-semester exam. The department has its own library with enough mathematics books, and there is also a computer lab with more than 50 computers. Hostel facilities are very good and are cleaned regularly. Wi-Fi is available in both the hostel and the department. There are 2 to 3 messes and 1 to 2 canteens in the hostels.

Faculty: Faculty members are well-qualified and come from IISC and IITs. The teaching quality is very good. Some professors are rude, but that number is very small. Teachers are very helpful for your future life. The course is mainly focused on research and teaching, but it does not make you industry-ready. The semester exams are tough, and that is required because the course has a very good value in IITs and other high-ranked institutes. But you can get good marks by studying 2 to 3 hours daily and 7 to 10 hours before exams. Solving previous year papers makes it easy.

Other: I chose this university because it is in the top 5 ranked universities in India and in the top 15 worldwide. The course is designed for research and teaching. They teach some research topics. There are some very good professors like Ashish Kumar Upadhyay (Ph.D., IISC), Harish Chandra, Krishnendu Bhattacharya, Akhilesh Yadav, Shyam Lal, and many others. If the course had a project in the last semester with presentations, it would help students more for industry and research and provide a variety of career options. Aakansha is held every year in January and February, featuring events like dancing, singing, poetry, essay writing, and quizzes. Every year, a sports program is held at the Institute of Science, covering all the games like cricket, kabaddi, football, badminton, volleyball, etc.

I am satisfied with this college as its faculty members are very good.

Placements: M.Sc. Physics is a two-year course. The highest salary package offered in M.Sc. Physics was 1.20 CPA in 2023. The average salary package offered is 8 LPA. Mainly EDU tech companies like PW, Fiitjee, Unacademy, etc., visit our college to hire students for M.Sc. Physics. There is a batch of 25 students only.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi connection is available everywhere like in classrooms and hostels 24/7. There is a library named Shreeniwas Das Central Library where you can borrow only two books on your core subject and two any other books. The quality of the mess food is very good. A canteen is available in every hostel. Machines are also installed in every hostel.

Faculty: Teachers of IIT BHU are very friendly and supportive. They clear students' doubts at any time. They don't judge students based on their doubts. This course is mainly theoretical and for higher studies. Semester exams are of moderate level. Students can easily pass their exams as there is a relative marking system.

Other: There are various events like Kashiyatra, etc. It is a cultural fest held in January. IIT BHU Campus is an open campus that everyone comes here and enjoys.

Really amazing facilities and infrastructure of the department, but hostel facilities are average.

Placements: During my time in this university, 10-15% of students got placed in teaching fields mostly. The average package was 6-7 lacs p.a. Top recruiting companies were educator companies. A very few percentage of students got internships from my course. I don’t have enough knowledge about roles offered.

Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure available for this course are really amazing and helpful during the entire journey of the course. If I talk about facilities like Wi-Fi connectivity, labs, classrooms, and the library, all meet the criteria to be superb. Hostel facilities like mess food and canteen are average. However, medical facilities, sports, and games are really good.

Faculty: Teachers and staff are really helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable, and teaching quality is really superb. Course curriculum is really important, so yes, it makes students industry-ready. The semester exams are not easy in this university, and the pass percentage is 40%.

Other: I enjoyed the environment of the campus.
