    IIT Bombay is the best Institute in India.
    Placements: Nearly 80% of students in our course who sits for placements get placed. The highest 20 LPA, the lowest 6 LPA. Biocon, Sysmex, strand life Science, and Byjus are the top recruiting companies. Around 50% of the students got internships mainly in research institutes like IISC, NIBMG, CDRI, and NCCS. Research associates and content developers are the roles offered.
    Infrastructure: Department of Biosciences and Bioengineering is well-equipped with all the facilities that a student will need to carry out his/her research. Classes take place at LHC which is pretty huge. The central library is well maintained with a lot of books related to all the subjects being offered in the institute. Hostels are very well maintained with Wi-fi connections at nearly every place on campus. Food quality is also great.
    Faculty: Teachers are knowledgeable and pay more attention to building your concepts rather than old-school teaching. The course curriculum will make you more of a research-oriented person rather than making you industry-ready. Exams are based on the concepts you build during your lectures. Nearly everyone passes.
    Other: I chose this course as this is the best institute in India that is providing this course. Fests held are Mood Indigo, Techfest, PAF.

    Placements: The placements were quite a good thing here, and about 79% of students were given jobs in campus placements. I also got a placement.

    Infrastructure: The hostel facilities were the best here. There was a good and nice environment, and about 2 students stayed in one room. Sports and games were also very good there, and there were annual days. There were canteens, good food, labs, library and farewell also. It was a great experience. We are assigned the top roles of a vice president also.
    Faculty: Teachers and curriculum were quite nice here. The teachers were very helpful and friendly. We were given revision questions, and they were very relevant. The old question papers were very helpful to pass the exams. However, the difficulty of exams was very high, but it was made easy by our qualified teachers.
    Other: The fee was just a little high, as there were many charges that were not useful. The crowd was not good enough. Ragging was a common activity there no matter where you are like in classrooms, hostel or campus. Seniors used to tease us.

    Our college provides good infrastructure and facilities. Placements here are bad for M.Sc. students.
    Placements: Only 7% of the students from our course got placed. The highest salary package offered is 18 LPA, and the lowest salary package offered is 17 LPA. A top recruiting company of our course is Cairn India Limited. Everyone student from our course got an internship, as it is compulsory for students. So the college sent us to different industries based on our CPI. Computer Science is an elective course, which gives us good knowledge about programming.
    Infrastructure: Our college provides facilities like Wi-Fi, labs, air-conditioned classrooms, library and modern machines like EPMA, XRF and XRD. The college provides hostel facility. Good facilities, like a single room, common room, gym and games rooms, are available in the hostel. Quality of food served is not that much good as compared to other hostels. Canteens are available, but its number has been reduced since the previous year. Medical facilities are very good, and it is available for 24 hours. Sports and games facilities are also good.
    Faculty: Some teachers are helpful and knowledgeable. Some professors are new, and their way of teaching is not so good. They use only slides and just read those in front of students. The course curriculum is very good, and it is similar to the GATE examination. Quality of education here is also very good as compared to other institutes.
