Teachers are very kind and always supportive.
Placements: After getting my degree, I prefer to be admitted to this campus only because I prefer to do a master's in botany. This campus master's is valuable because the department of botany is the best in this department. Every professor is knowledgeable, energetic, understanding, and helpful to every student. They teach us in a proper pattern, provide notes, and also teach us by EduCom and send each student's PPT of each topic. They help every student in the department, and the staff members also help every student. After this, they also conduct practical classes for every student. The practical classes are conducted by the professor for the student; they show us spots, provide material for section cutting, and then visualize each cutting under the microscope and view the internal structure of the material. This helps the student learn more deeply and remember the material for a longer period of time. They also conduct a field trip to observe nature.
Infrastructure: The hostel was very good. There are more than 80 double-sharing rooms and 4 triple-sharing rooms in the boys' hostel and mess, with a capacity of more than 150 students at once. There is a separate mess for the girls' and boys' hostel, and security is also very good. There is a gym and a common hall with a television in both hostels. The food quality is also satisfactory.
Faculty: The course curriculum was for botany knowledge and new research areas; many experiments were there: DNA isolation, protein purification, chlorophyll experiments, and lastly, plant issue culture, microorganism incubation, culture, dilution, mushroom culture, plant propagation, layering, and grafting. In my college, there was no campus placement, as it was a government college under state law. We went to the nursery and mushroom industry, the botanical garden, and local excursions. While doing experiments and dissertation work, it teaches us how to perform any experiments with calmness and knowledge. Class size;-50 The course costs INR 20,000 per year.
