Great faculty who are highly qualified and experienced. Provides comfort to the students.

Placements: The following course is an upcoming field, and our university provides 100 percent placement or other higher opportunities. Not sure about the highest or the lowest packages, but we have some great personalities like Dr. Hargobind Khurana as our alumni. Best university.

Infrastructure: The department is well built, clean, and has all the required facilities. The labs are also well developed and have every instrument along with helpful lab assistants. The hostel also has every facility, like stocked shops. University campuses have a separate gym for women and a swimming pool as well.

Faculty: Professors are highly qualified and experienced. The course curriculum is relevant. The semester exams are purely based on knowledge and thinking about the course. Exploring the course makes the student industry-ready. The university prepares the student to survive in the outer world.

B.Sc. (Hons.) in Biotechnology - Batch of 2022

Our college has a really good infrastructure and facilities, but it has a poor course curriculum.

Placements: There are no placements and internships in our college. Most of the time, you need to try for placements outside of the campus. Some companies offer the starting salary between Rs. 15,000 to Rs. 35,000 per month and even sometimes better than that. I suggest that if you are passionate only about the course, then it is worthwhile unless you are graduated to opt for government jobs. I remember one alumnus of our university named Har Gobind Khorana who has graduated for government jobs.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is the best and comparable with good private universities. Wi-Fi facility is available 24 hours a day, and classrooms and laboratories are well-equipped. Air-conditioners are available during the summer. Hostels are not much bad if you acquired one in sector 25, and toilets are in poor condition. However, toilets are better than the toilets of the hostels in most public and private colleges. The hostel mess serves the food at an affordable price, i.e., Rs. 35 to Rs. 40 per diet. The quality of the food served here is good and not much bad, and every weekend chole puri is served in the mess. An air-conditioned Joshi library is the best place if you like to read books. Air-conditioners and heaters are available in the library.

Faculty: Faculty members of the microbiology department are not good. They are quite lazy and not helpful and bit racist also, but you have to handle them for just 1st semester. Our university follows a CBCS system. So, you have the option to choose the subject as per your choice, but it also depends on your merit. This course doesn't make students industry-ready, and if you want to get industry-ready, you need to attend webinars and workshops organised by the university.

Other: I have chosen this course to learn more about biological systems. I wish that if our college improves the quality of our course, then this would be one of the best in the world. Our department organises sports and fests, and every festival is celebrated here. Our university organises youth festival, and extracurricular activities are common. There is a new test, and the student centre is a hub of it.

How can I get admission in PU for B.Sc biotech without entrance exam?

Answered 8 years ago

Hi Mitra, for getting admission in government colleges you need a valid PU-CET score but in private colleges, some college give you direct admission through your good academic performance of 10+2 level. Best of luck.

Can I get admission without entrance exam for B.Sc in biotechnology?

Answered 9 years ago

Yes, of course, you can get there without admission test on the basis of 12th. It provides B.Sc- biotech. But, the difference lie in quality. There are very few colleges in India have world class equipment for doing biotechnology.
