Our college needs improvements in PG.
Placements: Our college provides only a few placements for M.Sc students when compared to other colleges. A few students got placed in Byju's with salary package of 7 LPA and 9 LPA. The top role offered is an assistant lecturer. Our college provides good internships to students.
Infrastructure: Medical facilities are good. They provide us with free treatment for minor injuries and illnesses. The mess is good. Wi-Fi has good coverage in the hostel ( Hall 5 ). The lab and classrooms are good in the biotech department. Sports and games facilities are excellent for interested people.
Faculty: Professors in the biotech/Science department are skilled in their respective fields of study. The course curriculum is under current biotech research and industry. Semester exams are difficult as most questions are analytical.
Other: IITs and NITs are the best options for career development, so I chose it. NIT Durgapur is relatively better than most private universities. NIT Durgapur needs to improve placements for PG biotech/life Science students, as it's really low compared to UG placements. In our college, fests are held, so students can enjoy their life while developing their careers.
