Bharathiar University, Coimbatore review.

Placements: Bharathiar University does not provide much in the way of placements. Last year only one company came for placement. However, students get a good exposure to laboratory work while working under Ph.D. scholars, which paves the way for them to work as a research associate in big institutes.

Infrastructure: The department is very well established with experienced faculty. Classrooms have smart class technology which makes learning more enjoyable. The department has its own library, and Wi-Fi is available in the classrooms and dorms. The university has a swimming pool, indoor stadium, and various grounds, as well as a hospital. However, the food in the dorms is not very good, and it's the same every day, which gets boring. There is a canteen on campus.

Faculty: The teachers at this university are highly qualified scientists, and two of the faculty are among the top 2% of scientists in the world. The curriculum is challenging, with a hectic schedule and continuous assessment. Semester exams are of moderate difficulty, but students are expected to write long answers for every question, which can be tiring and sometimes irrelevant. The pass percentage is 50%.

Other: I chose medical biotechnology because I have always been interested in genetics and diseases. I am concerned that we are still expected to do handwritten assignments, which seems anachronistic in this day and age. On the plus side, the university celebrates an annual fest called Phoenix, as well as departmental Onam and Pongal celebrations.
