Reality of M.Sc. in Marine Sciences from Goa University.
Placements: The course is limited to 20 students at once. There are no placements that the department provides. Instead, they won't allow me to opt for internships during the course. Institutes like NIO are good exposure but they are also disappointed with the level of knowledge students are passing out from GU. Attendance is another hot topic.
Infrastructure: Laboratories and classrooms are fairly equipped with instruments like LAF and AAS. Classroom is facilitated with projector and air-conditioning. Wi-Fi is available but not working properly. Computer labs have a lot of issues that don't get resolved immediately. Hostel facilities for graduate and post-graduate students are the same and allow two students in a single room. Mess food is really the worst, and there are a lot of complaints that are delayed several times.
Faculty: Many teachers are biased and support favoritism. If you don't stay in their good books, you might not be treated well. Teaching quality of few teachers is fair, but others are really bad at teaching. The curriculum is relevant but there are a lot of things that are necessary to be learned from a research point of view. But they don't really teach them. It definitely does not polish the student, least that teachers find the positives within the student and guide them to use it efficiently. The semester exams are moderately difficult.
Other: I had chosen this course for the sole reason of placement. But I was misguided. There are no best things about career. The students in marine science program couldn't enjoy the events or take part in them without bunking the lectures. Scholarships are available but they take a lot of time to sanction it (literally it took one whole year to credit the amount. The lectures are so hectic and go up to 05:30 PM. There is no hope for the improvements.

Good overall can improve.
Placements: In my course placements aren't available however you can definitely apply to various institutions here such as the National Institute of Oceanography and NCOAR. These institutions take in students from the Marine Sciences discipline and many go there for Ph.D.
Infrastructure: Good infrastructure and basic facilities are provided here which can be improved. At the same time the hostel fees are pretty reasonable and the mess food is also good. The hostel also invests time in holding events such as sports and cultural events.
Faculty: The professors are well respected within their field of study with some working on various projects with prestigious organizations. Their ability to guide students is excellent allowing for a great learning experience. The examinations have a decent marking system here.
Other: Marine Sciences is a discipline that allows us to study oceans in a wider scope. The only thing I would like for them to improve is to increase access to institutions through projects and internships that work in these specific fields. Campus life is great with various fests and events taking place throughout the year.
