Students are burdened too much because the exams are conducted back to back, and it must be changed.
Placements: Very few companies visited our college for placements. Companies that visit our college offer very less salary packages compared to the college reputation. There are few chances of getting a good salary package from here. In case you choose this college, you have to opt for off-campus placements. For B.Tech students, the placements are good, but for Biotechnology students, the placements are not good as much.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure and facilities are good. The buildings are very good. The college is located in a good place. There is greenery all around the college. It has a Wi-Fi facility with good speed. Our college doesn't have air-conditioning system in any of the classroom.
Faculty: The teachers are helpful and knowledgeable. The teaching quality is good. The teachers are always ready to solve our problems at any time. This course curriculum is relevant, and it makes the students industry-ready.
Other: I chose this course as it has a good scope and provides skill development. The best thing about this course is that one can enter either the private or government field.

Mesmerizing campus life but ain't satisfied with the course curriculum.
Placements: Campus placements are the highest for the CS students in BIT Mesra whereas placements aren't so good for M.Sc. Biotechnology students. Expectations shouldn't be kept high. Companies like Byjus and other pharma companies come in for recruitment. I hope this changes.
Infrastructure: Hostel facilities are very nice in comparison to other institutes. Mess food is good too at least for my hostel (variation could be seen since there are 13+ hostels). You get LAN ports in your room and campus Wi-Fi available everywhere. The library and classrooms are nice and decent enough. Lab facilities are decent enough.
Faculty: Teachers are helpful and knowledgeable. They will give you recommendations for any kind of internship or training work happily without any hesitation. The course content has to be changed a bit. Industrial visits should be arranged readily so that there is well-balanced exposure. Practical knowledge is much more necessary than theoretical.
