Hostel allotment and cleanliness, library access, and a peaceful and safe environment.
Placements: From the third semester on, students are eligible for campus placements and lots of good companies come to campus for the selection process. Companies like Google, Microsoft, Axis bank, Nutria, Fortis, Vedanta, HDFC bank, etc. They came for placements and they offered a really handsome stipend to the students. The highest package would be around 6-7 lacs per annum. Students with a good percentage above 60% are eligible for the placements. I would plan to do a Ph.D. after my Masters or I would rather get a good job by getting campus placements in good hospitals and good pharma companies.
Infrastructure: The hostel room is big and spacious, usually accommodating three people. We can decide who we want as our roommates while getting admission to the hostel. The hostel room provides tables, two chairs and two cupboards (which may change according to the hostels) and some hostels even provide an elevator. The meals are different on different days. Rasam and sambar will be provided. The meals won't be good for everyone, as everyone's taste is different because of the diversity of foods we usually eat. For the hostel registration process, the hostel fee is INR 30500 per year.
Faculty: I opted for microbiology, as in the evolving world I feel microbiology is going to be a great field to do your graduation, as we can even see in the Corona time that microbiologists played a very important role. I would advise that it's a great field and will have great scope in the coming years. Basically, we have approximately 15 faculty members, and every faculty member has their own individual expertise to teach a particular paper. Most of our lecturers are Ph.D.s, while few have done their Masters in microbiology. As they are all very experienced, they have great teaching techniques that are understandable and effective. With the support of teachers, it becomes very easy to pass the term exams; they are extremely supportive. Class sie:-56 The course costs INR 26500 per year.
