Overall, the college provides a good package.

Placements: The placements are not good enough because only 30-40% of students get placements. The highest package I have heard is 30 LPA. The recruiting companies are Wipro, Byju's, Tech Mahindra, etc. About 50-60% of students get internships, which is pretty good. Some roles are offered, like sales manager, etc.

Infrastructure: The department of mess and food is excellent because the food tastes like heaven and is also healthy. The mess staff are very familiar with the students. The hostel service is also provided by the college, and the charges are very high. The facility of Wi-Fi is crazy, and the speed is also crazy.

Faculty: The teachers are very professional, and some are very aged, so they love the students. But some teachers are very strict, and they sometimes get very angry. At the end, they support the students and provide them with notes and discussion questions. The curriculum makes students ready.

Other: The campus surroundings are clean, full of green trees, and the environment is good, with very colorful flowers.

Review of Chandigarh University (CU).

Placements: Only 5-6% of students got campus placements. The package offered ranges from 2-3 LPA. All students of the course are required to undergo a mandatory 45-day internship. The courses offered are zoologist, entomologist, nematologist, and microbiologist.

Infrastructure: Classrooms have AC. Phones are not allowed inside the class. The library has all sorts of books related to coursework as well as others like novels, magazines, newspapers, etc. The library provides free Wi-Fi. The hostel has 4-sharing rooms for Indians. The hostel food is good.

Faculty: Teachers are quite helpful. Whenever we have any doubts, teachers are always there to help us. Before the 3rd semester began, we went for an internship, which helped us develop our skills. There is also a mandatory dissertation program where we did a small research program.

It was not a good experience studying the M.Sc. Zoology course at Chandigarh University.

Placements: Not a single student was placed in this course. The companies that came for placements were mostly tech companies, and as a zoology student, it was difficult to crack the interviews. Moreover, we were competing with engineering and MBA students, so they got the maximum placements. There were no internships provided for this course. We did a summer training program on our own.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure was not so good. Wifi is not available for students; labs are not well built; there is a shortage of chemicals; classrooms were okay; but in the library, there are very few books for the course. And the majority of the time, books weren't even available. Hostel facilities were also not so good; the food in the hostel was mostly tasteless, and the medical facilities were okay. Sports and games facilities were there.

Faculty: All teachers have PhDs, but not all teachers can make us understand topics. Teaching quality was average. Mostly, you have to study on your own. They only give PowerPoint presentations in class but do not go into depth on concepts. The curriculum is more or less relevant, but a few important topics or chapters are missing from the CSIR NET perspective. This course doesn't make students industry-ready. Semester exams were average. If you study, you can easily get good marks. The pass percentage is above 90%.

Other: I chose this course because of my interest in animals. I had done a B.Sc. in zoology, so an M.Sc. in zoology was a good option. This course provides information about various interesting things like cell biology, cancer biology, immunology, biochemistry, ecology, and animal behavior, which are important aspects of our lives. The labs could have been better, as if we go for higher studies like a PhD, practical knowledge is a must. There were various events (fests, campus crowds, etc.) conducted. There were scholarship exams before admission; if you get desirable marks, you will get some fee relaxation.
