M.Sc. life sciences at Central University of Gujarat.
Placements: It's an University of basic Science so we don't think of any placement. Some other courses like literature and arts are one of the finest department of it's kind. I don't have much knowledge about placement. Although sone of my friends from Chinese and German studies were get a chance to find their suitable jobs in Amazon company.
Infrastructure: Don't have a permanent campus till now. Planning to build in the recent future. What we have right now is a sum of two campuses. The problem is that academic unit and library are not in the same campus. And you have to walk a bit for the same. Canteens are not up to mark. You can not get any kind of food other than the normal lunch and dinner thali from there. And if you are not gujju then food problem will become the greatest nightmare of your life.
Faculty: My field of study was M.Sc. life sciences and faculty members are quite good at their fields. They are highly educated and very professional. The teaching and syllabus design was world class. You will surely qualify any related exams on the basis of the course and teaching style of the professor.
