I am satisfied with the college in all aspects.

Really good infrastructure facility. Course fee is nominal and easily affordable by most students.
Placements: There are no placements. The placement cell of the department in not at active, it just exists formally. Even if students take the initiative to activate the dead placement cell of the department, there is no support. No companies visit the campus. No internship projects at the undergraduate stage.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi facility is good, high speed and free for students. Library facility is great, all books with every edition related to biochemistry are available. The only problem is the issue time for books, it is from 3:30-5 p.m. Sometimes, the students are free prior to that time and they have to wait till late afternoon to issue a book. Sports and games facility is good, they have intra-department sports meet once a year and the whole university has a Panjab University sports meet.
Faculty: The faculty is fine. They are quite helpful, well-qualified and knowledgeable. Teachers teach through power point presentations mostly and with the help of blackboards at times. Student-faculty ratio is 30:1. There is no industry exposure for undergraduates. The course curriculum is averagely useful.

Biochemistry in PU - it is worthy.
Placements: No as such placements but the students are preparing for several government exams and they got placed after MSc in quality control and biochemical industries. The student also got a fellowship in good institutes like NIPER, IISER etc, and a few students got a job in hospitals.
Infrastructure: The facilities are good. The campus is Wi-Fi covered, and the labs in this department are really good. There are fantastic classrooms available with a projector in each and every classroom. A central medical centre is also there for medical facilities. A large ground and a central cricket ground are also present here. The hostels are a bit old but the departments are really nice. The canteen facilities are not up to the mark but are not bad either.
Faculty: A huge range of faculty members in terms of experience and achievement. They are highly qualified and use various methods to teach. 12:1 is the student-teacher ratio, and time to time industry exposure is provided. This is a very useful course because, in a normal college, you will get the exposure to local authors, but here, you will get exposure to foreign authors also.
Other: Visit our department before getting admission here. Attend few classes, and try to get extra knowledge from the teachers as they are very nice. Contact the seniors who are research scholars or a JRF here. Also, try to contact the ones who are researching in other institutes.
