M.Sc. in Chemistry - Batch of 2022

5Placements5Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

My honest review of my college.

Placements: Placement opportunities here are not that satisfying. However, it is also difficult to qualify for the interview as an 8.00 CGPA is mandatory to appear in interviews. There was no placement policy in the year I graduated. But with the passing years, the college now has a placement week for the students who are interested.

Infrastructure: The hostel rooms and the furniture provided by the university are good. Rooms are big enough. For Ph.D. students, two students share one room. It's an easy process to get a room at university. You just have to apply.

Faculty: The syllabus is not much updated for the Ph.D. course. I guess it needs modification. Industrial exposure is good enough for students. All the faculty members are good and helpful. But some teachers are biased towards gender, and in a lab environment, even 1 or 2 of them don't treat their students equally. The college follows a semester system with two semesters in an academic year. The exam structure is divided into internal marks & external marks. Internals include 40% weightage of attendance, mid-semester exams, project submissions, presentations, and class conduct. External includes 60% weightage of the final semester exam conducted by the university. Faculty members are very friendly and hardworking. For the students, they put lots of effort into clearing their concepts. We have approximately 45 professors in the department of ECE for B.Tech, M.Tech, and Ph.D. courses, respectively.

M.Sc. in Zoology - Batch of 2018

5Placements5Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

Overall it is the best university for M.Sc. in zoology course.

Placements: We have 60 students in the M.Sc. Zoology and the pass rate for this subject is 70% each year.

Faculty: Teachers are well-qualified and student-friendly. Doubts asked by students can be clarified and cleared. There are many councils and committees such as student committees, disciplinary committees, and many other committees to make students more organized. The semester exams are moderate and the pass rate is around 70%.

M.Sc. in Biotechnology in Shillong.

Placements: Adecco, Randstad, and Teamlease were some of the companies that hired students of biotechnology with an average package of 3.2 LPA to 5 LPA. We were allowed to do internships only at the end of the final year. Most of the alumni were hired by various top companies with the best packages.

Infrastructure: Laboratories were specially designed for all disciplines. Also, the required apparatus and reserved liquids were stored before it got over. It was compulsory to wear white coats in laboratories while doing experiments. Fees were expensive in the initial semesters.

Faculty: M.Sc. in Biotechnology was my dream course, and I chose this college after multiple references. Coaching for academics was okay. We spent most of the time searching with the guidance of faculty members. Faculty members were highly knowledgeable in the research process.

5Placements3Infrastructure4Faculty3Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

Affordable central institute government medical college.

Placements: The placement cell was very active towards B.Tech students. But for our course, only edtech companies approached. Many students were not interested in that as they either want to work in industrial companies or they want to pursue Ph.D. So on campus placements were very less and majority of the students took jobs outside the campus on their own. The average package a person could get was 6 LPA. It could go higher depending on the qualification and experience. Companies like Byjus, Akash, and Allen approach every year. You could apply for placements from the first semester itself.

Infrastructure: Both boys and girls hostels were there on the campus. Boys hostel capacity was 104 and girls hostel capacity was also 104, and senior residence hostel was there only for girls. Mess fee was excluded from the hostel fee. Mess fee was also separate which was around Rs 3,600 for boys (run by students only) and around Rs 4,000 for girls run by (private local caterers). Rooms and accommodation were good, only double seats were there while in SR triple.

Faculty: I love doing research and lab work. W. When I started searching for the best colleges I got to know about it and I took the admission. Here, the college always tried us to experience things on our own so that it was easy for us to do them in the real world. There was a need for improvement like college should provide some internships but apart from that everything was good. Exams happened at regular intervals and they were not that much hard. But not easy to qualify if you had not focused on the classroom.
