M.Sc. in Zoology - Batch of 2024

2.6

The college of basic science and humanities.

Placements: There is no facility for placements in my course and college. We have to appear for other competitive exams after completion of the course. There are provisions for internships for some bright students, but it depends on the faculty members. Top jobs that we can join after completion of the course are either we can go for lectureship or for research.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is of moderate level and has the basic requirements needed for the course. Labs have most of the basic equipment and anything you need can be brought with the help of the faculty members. The central library of the university is very large with a Wi-Fi facility.

Faculty: Teachers are very qualified and helpful. Other faculty members of the department are also very cooperative. There is a good bond between other departments of the university so anything we need will also be made available to us.

Other: I chose the course because I like Biology and more specifically Zoology. After completing my bachelor's and master's in that course I feel like it requires some modifications in the syllabus and needs to be more oriented towards the syllabus of competitive exams like CSIR NET.

M.Sc. in Agriculture (Plant Breeding and Genetics) - Batch of 2015

It is the best Agriculture University in the state.

Placements: Many microbiology related companies like Bisleri, etc., visit our campus for placements. PhD students of our college are also offered in many institutions as lecturers and also as researchers. For further research, the university also provides funds to help its next outcomes.

Infrastructure: All kinds of infrastructure facilities were available, including Wi-Fi, smart labs, modern laboratories, etc. The canteen was also available, which was quite hygienic. I am a local student, so I have no idea about hostel facilities. The campus was clean with proper security.

Faculty: Faculty members were well experienced. They have knowledge of modern technologies, and handling of all technical equipment was good. Interaction among faculty members and students was generally done in a separate session, which is like a group discussion class. The course curriculum was useful for further exams.

I am dissatisfied because of placements.

Placements: College does not provide placements for our course because all placements are for B.Sc. agriculture students and not for other graduates. The college mentions placement in the prospectus in the time of admission, but maximum placements are only for agriculture students and most important there is no placement officer for our department.

Infrastructure: Classrooms are good for our department only. Facilities like study tour, lab, computer class, placements, Wi-Fi, practical, group discussion class, proper communication process for learning for communicating are not available. There is no specific class, like any other MBA colleges.

Faculty: Faculty members are good and helpful. Teaching quality is also good. We don't get any industry exposure. But the course curriculum of agriculture business management is not useful as per its reputation. General MBA is more helpful than agribusiness management.

The college has a good infrastructure, but there was a lack of faculty and laboratory facility.

Placements: None of the companies visits the campus for placements. However, students were engaged in different bank jobs and state government jobs. But still, many students were unemployed and pursuing their higher studies like PhD. There was scope, but the extension work and dissemination of awareness was lacking. There may also some scope for research work, but the government was not interested in it.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college was good. There were enough classrooms for all students. But the laboratory facility was very poor. There was a requirement for much other research equipment and chemicals to carry out smooth research work. Classrooms of the PG and PhD students were not air-conditioned.

Faculty: The course curriculum was good. But faculty members were very less. There were two wings in the department, and one was academic and other was research wing. There were 2 faculty members in the research wing, but there were also 2 faculty members in the academic wing. But there should be at least 5 faculty members for better teaching and good work spirit for research scholars.

It has a rich diversity in knowledge.

Placements: There are many placements in this campus. Students nearly 70 percent secured placement in our college. It offered assistant manager post to PG and Ph.D. students in companies like itc and nagarjuna fertilizer company. So they offered for B.Sc. agriculture students marketing sector.

Infrastructure: It's a great campus. I would be privileged to be a part of it. It has advanced lab equipment for experiments to carry on. And our department has Wi-Fi facility to access the latest technology. It has a central library which provides students with books and the latest journals.

Faculty: I am a student of agronomy. Here professors are highly qualified and has wide range knowledge on entire agriculture field. Student to teacher ratio is 4:1 for PG and Ph.D. students. I carry research project and for research and completion of my thesis, my guide supported me.

Other: There is annual college fest, hostel fest and singing competition is organized.

It is the best institute. If you have an interest in agriculture, go for it.

Placements: Almost 40% of the students got placed in our course. The lowest salary offered was Rs. 23,000 per month, and the highest salary offered was Rs. 80,000 per month. You have great opportunities here. Including me, there are about 30-40 students who got internships. The highest salary package offered was of 9 LPA. You will get a job definitely.

Infrastructure: All the classrooms were very vast and perfect for study. Wi-Fi was also available. There was a huge library, and a good atmosphere to study. Hostels were neat and clean. All the facilities like medical, canteen, and sports were available. You can choose your favourite sports. Extracurricular activities were given importance.

Faculty: Teachers in our college were very qualified and knowledgeable. Teaching quality was excellent. You will feel secure among teachers, and all your doubts are cleared. All the students have a great future after passing out from the college. You will not face any problem related to teaching.

Other: I opted for this course because I like agriculture most. In our course, there are many options. My aim is to be a soil scientist. I have an interest in this. It has good connectivity.

Absolutely satisfied with whole concept of this college.

Placements: We, in this course, don't have particular placements. We have to go through entrance exams and other such procedures to get a seat in any job or higher education. These are all government job and the pay scale is totally according to the government guidelines. As student we are taken to the main fields for survey and other practical tasks so that we can do it by own. Particularly talking about my college, we have 85% placements approximately. In this course, we don't have internship programmes. We don't have a placement cell either.

Infrastructure: Talking about the infrastructure, it is quite well developed. We have all the facilities like Wi-Fi connections, well-equipped laboratories, Arborium. Classrooms are well furnished with digital mode of education, proper medical facility, sufficient area for sports and other co-curricular activities, well controlled examination hall and a personal college library. There is one minor drawback that we don't have a canteen in our campus. Hostel rooms are good.

Faculty: All the teachers of this college are well qualified and genuine with their duties. They are best at their jobs as a few of them were the students of the same college and are highly qualified. The only drawback regarding this is that the ratio of students and faculty is very low. As there are 50 students approximately in every batch. And number of teachers are a few as every 75 to 80 students gets 1 teacher.

Other: Many events takes place in annually. Like annual functions, fresher's party, sports week, athletic meet, indoor as well as outdoor games, NCC, NSS, R&V, internal as well as external tours, picnics and study tours. The campus is very eco-friendly campus, saplings are planted on a regular basis by staff and students. We celebrate every national and our state festivals positively. There are many scholarship programmes that are held in our campus. We also participate in national games as well as ICAR games.
