Dissatisfied with placement, satisfied with infrastructure, faculty, facilities, and friends.
Placements: About M.Sc. microbiology 2023 batch placement: It is relatively very less. Students do not get enough opportunities. We have a batch of 50 students, but only 25 students were able to get a job. Getting a job in MNC companies has become difficult nowadays. Mostly pharma companies, followed by beverages companies, come for hiring. Nestle India and Canpack are the top recruiters with a package of 5 lakhs per annum. Getting an internship is easy; my advice is to get an internship and try to get a full-time role in the same company.
Infrastructure: The location of the University is far from town. The University is still under development, and new areas are improving at a high pace. The biotech building does not have a central air conditioning system; in summers, it is difficult to sit. The college laboratory and library are well-maintained; all books, chemicals, and essential components are available. Yes, we have hostels on campus for both girls and boys. The food quality in both the hostel and canteen is not proper, but hygiene is maintained in the canteen. We do not have permission to see the mess kitchen, so I cannot comment on the mess hygiene. Proper drinking water facilities are not available. For sports, our ground is very big, and many sports like cricket, football, and kabaddi are played on the ground.
Faculty: We have highly qualified and very motivating and encouraging professors on campus. However, we have a high workload of assignments and deadlines that are not needed. The course curriculum is relevant to the industry, but opportunities like GATE and placements are very limited. The course is practical-oriented; we have two sessions for practicals every day. Semester exams are not difficult, but they require preparation to clear. Almost all students who appear for tests pass, but achieving good grades is a difficult task.
Other: Hostel feels are not included in mess; mess feels are separate. Please discuss it before taking admission in the hostel; otherwise, it creates a lot of trouble.

The best college from my experience.
Placements: The opportunity to do an internship in a good place was given by the college. I myself had the opportunity to do an internship at Suraksha Diagnostics Private Limited, Newtown. The campus placement was very nice. Different pharma companies, companies from the food and beverage sectors, and various IT companies with biological domains visited. The highest package offered was 18 LPA, and the lowest offered was 3.8 LPA. According to reports of the placement cell in our college, during the campus placements, more than 90% of students got a good placement in a good company. Microbiology is a specialization subject where saturation is not as much as in Zoology or Botany. So, there were more job opportunities as microbiologists were needed in every lab of life sciences. The university prepared you to excel in it.
Infrastructure: Hostels were also so clean, and facilities were always available for any problems, with the staff being very polite. The meal quality in the hostel was good, and Wi-Fi and electricity were available at all times.
Faculty: Microbiology was an extraordinary stream. During the pandemic, medical help was needed, and we also needed biotechnologists and microbiologists for a better future. I had always wanted to study Microbiology. The number of teachers was better than the number of students in this college. Highly educated, Ph.D. holders, and knowledgeable teachers taught here. Their teaching quality was very good. The method of interpretation was exceptional. Teachers were very familiar and friendly. Whenever someone didn’t understand, they were cooperative and explained again and again. The exam patterns were very standard.
