Absolutely Dissatisfied and Disappointed.

Placements: We are currently studying, and there are 13 students in total in my batch doing B.Tech in Biotechnology. We haven't passed, but I've heard from seniors that there are very few placements from this university, and also most of them have left for other colleges for the same reason.

Infrastructure: They have a lot of land but are not providing facilities. Our department is comparatively better than others, but still, it's only satisfactory when you compare it with other departments. They just cut the connection for AC even in summer, and in most cases, there are even classes where you won't get an AC. The condition of the toilets is bad, and the water tanks also seem unhygienic. There are a lot of benches that are broken, and cleaning is also not proper. They have a Wi-Fi connection, but students don't have any benefits because we don't have access to it.

Faculty: Semester exams are okay. The teachers are helpful, but there is a lot of partiality on the basis of religion, mostly. There are teachers who are not teaching regularly, even though they come to the university. It's based on their mood. Favoritism is also present in the university, and students have to work really hard.

College life, best life.

Placements: As I am in the Biotechnology course, there are very few people who are placed. The company that came for the placement was a food company, which offered ₹17,000 per month, so very few found it helpful, and others are preparing for competitive exams like GATE and GAT-B.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college campus is really good; there is greenery everywhere, and the infrastructure of the departments is also good. Wi-Fi is available throughout the campus and even in hostels. In my department, there are three libraries and many labs. The hostel facility is also good, with one international hostel, one old hostel, and two new hostels, each designated for boys and girls. There is a mess on the hostel campus itself, and the food quality is okay—not that bad, but not that good either. Medical facilities are also good.

Faculty: All the teachers are very helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable, and they are very supportive. They try to make us understand things in the easiest way possible. The course curriculum is relevant as it is a technical course, and we are required to learn subjects like electrical engineering and physics, which are beneficial for our course. This course prepares students to be industry-ready. Semester exams are moderate; it is not very difficult to pass.

Review of Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences.

Placements: About 60% of students from our college get placed. The highest salary package offered is around 11 LPA, whereas the lowest salary package offered is around 2.5 LPA. The average salary package offered by our college is 3 LPA. Biocon India and pharmaceutical companies are the top recruiters. Most of the students or about 80% of students got internships in research labs in Delhi and Lucknow.

Infrastructure: All basic needed facilities are available in our college, and the infrastructure is above average in our department. Wi-Fi is available throughout the university. Labs are in every department, and you can't complain about labs in the college. The library is the centre of our college as it has one huge central library and libraries in every department as well. The quality of food served in the mess is also good, and you won't face a great problem with food. But sometimes the food becomes tasteless as it is mess food and not very great either. Our university has its own hospital for medical facilities. Sports and games are also good here, and they are conducted at a regular interval.

Faculty: Teachers here are highly qualified. They are really helpful in your studies and academics. The teaching quality is also very good. The college is very good in academics. The course curriculum is industry-oriented. It is not much difficult to pass semester exams if you study well.

Other: B.Tech biotech is a booming course nowadays as COVID-19 has added a lot of value to the course in India as people are now realising the importance of biotech. I would wish to have a much better placement rate. Events and fests are conducted regularly.

Review of Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences.

Placements: Placements in our college are low, but it is improving year by year. Generally, companies which came here are of marketing and not of core biotech. They offer salaries around Rs. 25,000 per month. However, companies and the number of seats for placements are also quite low because the biotech sector is still a new and developing sector in our country.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our institute JIBB is the best in the entire university. We also have separate UG and PG labs. But they need little modifications. There are smart classes, departmental library as well as a departmental canteen. Our university also provides residence and have international hostels for international students. The hostels have mess facility also, and you can avail good food at Rs.2,500 per month.

Faculty: Our department has a good number of teachers, and some are highly qualified and experienced. Some have government projects. But on the other hand, some are not that good, like everywhere. The course curriculum is also good wherein every semester you have to study approximately 10 subjects. So there are around 70 subjects in 4 years. The last semester is completely for the project work where you can go to any government lab across India for the project, or even you can do from here as well.

Other: I suggest that the lab facility should be improved, rest the faculty as I told are very good. Even our department also organises annual fest, sports day, freshers and farewell party for which our institute is regarded as best in the whole university. The university has a central library from 8:00 am - 8:00 pm from Monday to Friday. Overall, it is a good college if you are seeking for UG biotechnology and rest is up to you and your calibre.

I suggest you that keep this university as your last option.

Placements: The worst thing about this college is the placements. The highest and lowest salaries are not offered as companies don't visit here for placements. During our tenure, only 2 companies visited for placements, and that too only for sales and marketing fields. Even a single company also didn't visit here for the core field of biotechnology.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is average. Our college doesn't have centralised air-conditioning, but it has air-conditioners in 2-3 classrooms and some labs. There are many canteens on the campus and also many restaurants outside the campus at a walkable distance. I am sure if you join in this college, you will have to go to every food spot since mess food is really disgusting.

Faculty: There is a combination of both teachers, i.e., none of the teachers possesses all the qualities. Some teachers may help, but they are not knowledgeable. If any teacher is really knowledgeable and has a deep understanding of their subject will surely tell you that their experience is not helpful for you. Laboratory sessions conducted for students are not adequate as they have to learn even basic things like Pouring or Spreading from other institutions. Since in our laboratory sessions, only 2-3 experiments are conducted for the whole class of strength of 70 students.

Other: I have chosen the biotechnology course because I really want to pursue it. When I enquired about this college, I found that it is good, so I joined here. But after joining, I am really feeling regret with my decision. Even our college didn't conduct a freshers party when I joined here as it started conducting from the next year. A lot has changed since I joined, and now fests are conducting. Events like sports day, science day, national and international conferences are also organised here, but don't expect a lot from this college.
