No company for biotech comes and visit the university but students do go to companies such as Novartis and Biocon from applying directly there.

Review of JNU - Jawaharlal Nehru University.

Placements: Department of biotechnology does not have any placement cell. Most of the time, students have to go for research even if they do not want. I have seen no one who has secured a job from the campus. The university plays no role in providing internships. It is up to the student to look for the internship. Few students get paid one, and most others get an unpaid internship. The average stipend offered for the paid internship is Rs. 15,000 per month.

Infrastructure: JNU has good infrastructure. It is located in South Delhi and has a sense of calmness. Hostels and academic block are now fully Wi-Fi enabled. Classrooms are average, and the labs are decent. There is an active medical centre inside the campus with a 24x7 ready ambulance. Labs have proper funding and do active research work. The canteen food is good, but the hostel food is not good at all. Hostel rooms are on a sharing basis. In my 2 years, I did not have any problem with the infrastructure.

Faculty: The course curriculum is designed in such a way that it is very useful to get a PhD. However, if you are interested in some other field like masters, then it might not be a great option. Professors are good and have the expertise for their subjects. They all have their labs and proper funding from DST and DBT. Teaching methods include teaching on the whiteboard along with the projector. We went for an industrial visit once to Rishikesh to a factory which was making calcium tablets. It was a good experience. The whole trip was paid for by DST.

My experiences at JNU Biotechnology Department.

Placements: I will be clear on this. JNU have no placement cell that I know of and generally offers no placements to students. It being a research institute inspires students to go for Ph.D. I do not know anyone personally who has got a job straight out of university. Coming to the internship part I had an internship in the US. The professors are really helpful and they gave me a generous recommendation. My other classmates did an internship in India only. Few even decided not to go for the internship. It all depends on you.

Infrastructure: The university has pretty decent infrastructure when compared with other institutes of India. I have been to a couple of colleges abroad and compared to that we need more improvements. When I was in JNU it did not have Wi-Fi in hostels. There was a medical center for students, having an ambulance for emergencies. There is also a sports ground and a swimming pool. The mess food is horrible but canteen food is somewhat decent. The hostel rooms are on sharing basis and I was allocated an old hostel. The rooms were okay. I personally did not have any issue with JNU.

Faculty: The course is relevant and up to date. It has helped me to secure an internship in the US. Most of the professors are helpful and serious towards there job. They are keen to solve your query and mentor you. The teaching methods are digital along with proper textbook approach. The student-faculty ratio is not high and helpful for one to one interaction with the facilities. We did have an industrial visit to the starting of the first year. It was some Polio manufacturing unit in UP. The curriculum is useful and very helpful.
