B.Tech. in Dairy Technology - Batch of 2025

4Placements3Infrastructure5Faculty3Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

It's a unique college with simple people.

Placements: Last year, placements percentage was approximately 95%, and it's a huge and good number of students that are placed. The highest package was nestled; it was giving approximately 12 LPA. And if you’ll talk about the average package, then it was 6 LPA—that's quite a good package. And if you’ll talk about top roles, then you will recruit for quality control, production section, and you’ll also recruit for the maintenance section.

Infrastructure: If you’ll talk about facilities, we have a total of 48 courses. Mainly the courses are dairy engineering, dairy technology, dairy microbiology, and some economics courses as well. There are also some extension courses that’ll help with your communication. And if you’ll talk about faculty, they are quite helpful in nature, and they’ll help you to do any project if you’re interested in that particular field. I’m talking about the B.Tech level because in other colleges, at the B.Tech level, it’s quite difficult to do any project-type things.

Faculty: Yes, of course, teachers are quite helpful in nature. Basically, they’re very generous in nature, they’ll help you and guide you for your future journey as well, and they’re quite knowledgeable. They’ll guide you as parents, and of course, they’re strict as well. In semester exams, they’ll ask only those questions that were taught by them, so of course, you can say it’s a good opportunity for you, and it’ll help you a lot.

Other: Yes, you’ll get the exposure of new fields as well as the opportunity for further studies because it’s a very renowned institute.

I am satisfied. It is good value for money, peaceful, with fewer activities but good for research.

Placements: Our college has a 100% placement rate. There were 37 students in the fourth year, and all of those who wanted placement got placed. Some of them even got placed in their home state as they wanted just a salary package, which varies from 5 LPA to 8 LPA.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of NDRI is quite amazing. It is spread over 1300 acres and has a large number of livestock. It is full of greenery and quite peaceful. Even as you open the gate of your hostel room, you directly walk into grass. Classrooms are digital and labs are quite advanced.

Faculty: Teachers here are very knowledgeable. All of them here are scientists or assistant professors. It is deemed that's why exam questions are made by them and checked by them only, so sometimes you just know all the questions that will come. There is one disadvantage. If you mess with any of your course teachers, then they can fail you and you will not be able to do anything.

Other: Students outside of their domicile get scholarships of up to Rs. 3000 per month for bachelor's degrees, and Rs. 5000 and Rs. 12000 for master's and Ph.D. degrees, respectively. Fests are quite rare here, and activities are also few. They mostly focus on studies. You can do B.Tech here and you will get 144,000 RS as a scholarship.
