Overall best college for M.Sc. In the Biotechnology Course.
Placements: So far, 86% of the batch (2019-2021) have been placed. The maximum difference was 14-24 LPA, and the average was 6-12 LPA. Top recruiters are Serum Institute of India, Biocon, Bharat Biotech, etc. Almost 75-81% of students got internships. The top jobs include biotechnologist, bioprocess engineer, and more.
Infrastructure: We possess our own extremely lavish hotel. The gym is located in the hostel area. The hostel features a canteen of its own. The hostel features a dedicated reading room. Nonetheless, the library needs to be refreshed. The fan and air conditioning in the reading room are not functioning properly. In the summer, students feel frustrated. The university possesses a unique reading room that is completely furnished and outfitted. Our campus has five dining halls.
Faculty: Educators truly assist. They instruct us in becoming effective doctors and in honing strong clinical skills instead of merely imparting a limited amount of information. We share our information with advisors regarding any course or other details to ensure they can assist us effectively. Semester exams are not challenging, with a pass rate exceeding 72%.

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.
