Excellent faculty members and infrastructure.

Placements: The placement in our course was good but in comparison to other branches, it was not that good. The highest package offered in our course was 28 LPA. The average package was around 6 LPA-8 LPA. Top recruiting companies were Biocon, Serum Institute of India, etc. Top roles were neurologist, etc.

Infrastructure: The facilities and infrastructure available for our course were excellent. Wi-Fi campus, digital classrooms, and library were available in the college. The quality of facilities available in the hostel was also good. The quality of food was survival. Sports facilities were available in the college.

Faculty: The professors were helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. The teaching quality of our faculty members was great. Course curriculum was relevant. Students became industry-ready for the jobs. Semester examination of our college was little tough. Around 80%-90% passed in exam.

Top institute of biotechnology.

Placements: Placement is very bad, especially for our department. Biotechnology core companies are very few; most placement is done for B.Tech students, especially CS-aligned branches. The highest CTC is 56 LPA, and we do not get that even in dreams. Our package starts at 4 LPA, and the highest is 11.2 LPA. Some people get jobs in some other field, not in biotechnology. Few go abroad for jobs, mostly in Austria. The college gives internships, and we can also try for internships; most companies easily give internships as we are NIT students.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is very big and near the city centre. In the first year, there are so many restrictions that we can not use gym and seniors ragging juniors is very common. There is a big library but not a hall for studying; other students come and disturb others. Classrooms are large and equipped with Wi-Fi, as is the library and hostel. Most hostels are very old and we have to live with 3 friends in a room up to the final year, which is a maximum of 2 people. Hostel food is very bad and not eatable but there is no other option. Our college medical unit is the worst and needs improvement.

Faculty: Attendance is a big issue; if attendance is less than 75%, your first grade is deducted. You may not like the teaching style of professors but you need to adjust to their methodology. All faculty are highly talented and qualified. The biotechnology course is demanding and we have NIT status. Our curriculum is the best in India, mostly practical-based. semester is very hard to pass. Many things, like practicals, assignments, vivas, major and minor projects, internal and external, all need to perform well .

Other: The college hostel and warden are very strict; we feel like we are stuck in jail; there is no freedom .

Faculty: Our class has a maximum of 80 students, with 16 teachers assigned to this course. Each subject is taught by a teacher with a degree from a reputed foreign university who uses innovative teaching methods. There are three types of exams: midterm, end-semester, and class assignments. A midterm course takes 1.5 months, and an end-of-semester exam occurs 4 months after classes begin.

Other: The campus atmosphere, fresh environment, events, festivals, and the connectivity between teachers and students make this campus truly beautiful.

This college has scored 10th rank in 2018. Faculty members are average.

Placements: The college doesn't provide any placement opportunities for the students of our stream, but students can opt for higher studies, and they can opt for teaching. They even try for the assistant professor roles. Students can also apply for R&D jobs by taking fellowship from the government. If you have passion and interested in studies, you will be busy all the time. As the college has started this stream recently, it will develop in the future. But students shouldn't expect more from the college.

Infrastructure: The campus is big, and the college provides good facilities like Wi-Fi, laundry, classrooms, libraries, books, more than 20 newspapers, separate study rooms. Three sharing for 1st year and 2nd year hostel students. Two 3rd year students should share one hostel room, and every 4th-year student will be allotted one room.

Faculty: The teachers are average. Many activities are included in the course curriculum. The college encourages sports, robotics, workshops and fun activities. Teachers make the classes boring unlike the teachers in coaching institutes. There are separate buildings for different semesters. They don't put any pressure, and they make the students relax. Students don't have any restrictions and limitations when it comes to course.
