Satisfied with the quality of the course.
Placements: For M.Sc. In the Virology course, there is no placement, not a single company related to our field comes for placement. You have to find a PI for your dissertation. Sometimes the faculty also helps with this. Our faculty members also offer dissertations, but they encourage students to apply outside the university.
Infrastructure: Our department is equipped with high-speed Wi-Fi, AC, a water purifier, and a projector. To conduct experiments, all necessary facilities are available in our lab, including RT-PCR, qPCR, BSL-2, a cell culture room, and a Virus culture lab. Our university has a central library near my department, where you can issue any two books for 14 days. The central canteen has good quality food at a cheap rate, and many other shops are also there. Cricket ground and other sports grounds are working, you can use it, many tournaments are organized from time to time.
Faculty: Faculty members are very polite and helpful. If you need any help, you can ask in the classroom or personally. They are very knowledgeable. Before joining here, they did a doctorate in foreign countries. The M.Sc. Virology course syllabus is the best, it includes every topic needed for current research and also history. If you focus on the lecture and read at home, you can easily score well in exams. In this course, you have to give two sessional exams, each worth 20 marks, and a final exam of 60 marks. 40 percent marks are needed in every exam to pass.
Other: The university and departments organize many events, but the best event is the annual university event. My department organized an international symposium last year. AAJMI, NSP, and many scholarship opportunities are available for students. Our class has paid Rs. 90000 for each year, but now you have to pay only Rs. 55000 per year.
