East or West, SOA University is the best.

Placements: The percentage of placed students is very low. Only 9 out of 58 students got placed. The highest package was 8 LPA, while the lowest was 3.5 LPA. The companies that came here were Accenture, Zifo, IDs Infotech, and Unacademy. No internships are provided from the college side.

Infrastructure: Classrooms, library and labs are well maintained. Classrooms have digital boards to make this clearer in a better way. While labs also have proper installation of machines like spectrophotometer, laminar, etc. The hostel with such a low price is very good. Even though the food they offer is of high quality, they need to focus on hygiene. Even campus has a playground basketball court, etc.

Faculty: Teachers are qualified, helpful and experienced. Approaching them is very easy. Yes, biotech is a diverse field; we can work both in the lab and in industry too. So they make us industry-ready. In case of exams, it is advisable that we focus on our study for 10 days prior to the exam. We can easily get above 9 CGPA.

Other: Soa is not about Indian students; international students also come here to pursue there courses. I wish more placements and internships would be given. Annual fest events are organized at regular intervals.

Our campus is safe. It has good infrastructure and worth the money paid.

Placements: This college focuses on Ph.D. courses rather than campus. If you are looking for a job then I would not recommend this college. Around 2 to 4 companies visit our college for recruitment. This year. TCG Life Sciences visited our college and 3 students got placed in this course. Students are eligible for placements from the 4th semester. The average salary package offered ranges from 3 LPA to 7 LPA. The top recruiting companies are Bharat Biotech, Accenture, and ZIFO.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is excellent. Wi-Fi is not available. There are 3 canteens for snacks. All stationery shops are available on our campus. All classrooms are air-conditioned. Elevators are provided in this college. Laboratory is well-equipped. The laboratory assistant is very helpful. Classrooms are spacious. Around 90 students can sit comfortably in our classrooms. Our campus life is good. Medical facilities are provided by SUM Hospital for students and faculty members.

Faculty: All professors are Ph.D. scholars. The course curriculum includes industry-related and research-related topics that make students ready for entrepreneurial activities. Semester exams are averagely difficult. The pass percentage is 40%.

Other: Biotechnology course deals with life science so we study about different living being. The main motive is the betterment of mankind so I chose this course.

It provides very good college, campus and hostel.

Placements: Minimum of 70% is required in graduation for admission to SOA University. The highest salary package offered is 5.5 LPA by ZIFO, and the average salary package offered is 4.5 LPA. This course is better for M.Sc. Biotechnology students.

Infrastructure: Our college has good Wi-Fi and clean and much better classrooms. A good hostel is also available. They serve good lunch, breakfast, and dinner. Non-vegetarian food is served 4 days a week. The campus is too good. As it has an international hostel, the food items are totally different and good.

Faculty: All the subject teachers and HOD are very helpful and good. They are well qualified and very knowledgeable. Their teaching quality is very good. The course curriculum is relevant and good and it surely makes students industry ready and semesters are done very strictly. Good practicals are done very well and from time to time and semester are conducted very seriously.

It provides best campus and teachers, but is careless and controlling for biotechnology batches.

Placements: Not many campus placements, only Zifo, and a few companies visit to hire students. Around 10% of batch get placements. Top roles are getting into biotech laboratories and companies. Students have a 6-month project in the final semester so that is more important for their job.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is top level and the courses are great. Students will love the aesthetic and architecture on the campus. No Wi-Fi on the campus, but hostilities get Wi-Fi. The quality of food is also good, and hostel food is average.

Faculty: Teachers are top-notch research scholars and very intelligent. The curriculum is very relevant and students get important practicals done in the laboratory also. Exams are mostly strict and well-conducted. About marking, they are loose, but overall very good experience, and faculty members are also great.

Other: Biotechnology is the future of biology, and it has huge opportunities next to agriculture. A more helpful separate building and separate laboratories would have been better.
