Absolutely dissatisfied because of lab facilities, average infrastructure, and poor facilities.
Placements: As of now, none of our seniors have received placement opportunities, but some of our super seniors got placed in coaching institutes and some in foundations, such as the Azim Premji Foundation. The placement rate is less than 50%. The packages offered ranged from around 2.5 to 6 lakhs. Top recruiting companies include Shri Gurukula Academy, and Avanti Fellows, and the top roles offered are Academic Mentor, Programme Associate, etc. Almost 90% of students have to search for internship opportunities outside the campus on their own because our department has no infrastructure for in-house opportunities.
Infrastructure: The classrooms are good, but the lab facilities are pathetic. Most of the time, there are no chemicals or equipment. 80% of lab equipment needs repair. At the Master's level, we need individual practical engagement, but they are not providing the basic stuff to do that. The library is good but has a very limited number of books. The hostel is poor; washrooms are very dirty, and there is a water shortage every week. The food is hygienic, but no proper management.
Faculty: Some of the teachers are very helpful, but some do not care at all. They just want to complete the syllabus but are not cooperative. Teaching quality, except for one or two teachers, is very poor. The course curriculum is relevant to the industry if the department focuses on students' lab experiments and not just theory. The semester exam difficulty level is average, and the passing percentage is more than 95%.
Other: I chose this course because it aligns with the CSIR NET syllabus. I hope that in the upcoming years, lab facilities will improve, and faculty members will become more serious. There is one annual fest (ANKUR), and other than that, there are no social gatherings.
