My review of this college.
Placements: Students were eligible to sit for placements from the 7th semester. Companies like Accenture, TCS, Infosys, Nutanix, Amazon, Microsoft, Toyota, L&T, Bosch, Cognizant, etc., visited. The highest package during my college time was 28 LPA, and the lowest was 2.7 LPA, with an average of about 4-5 LPA. About 40% of students got placed every year, and the rest mostly got off-campus placements or planned for higher studies in India and abroad. Internships, mini projects, and assignments were assigned to create more exposure and experience for the students as much as possible.
Infrastructure: Stipends were provided for the entire two years of study in the institution as per the college rules. Hostel rooms were decent with all the required facilities, with 2 or 3 sharing, attached and common bathrooms, and also non-AC rooms available. Mess food was hygienic, and the quality was good, but average in taste. Hostels were highly affordable and easily available, with a good number of rooms available for students and inmates every academic year. PG or rented rooms were not that easily available because of the remote location.
Faculty: The goal of biotechnology was to produce drugs by using living organisms such as bacterial cells, yeast, mammalian cells, etc., which were placed in culture to produce substances with pharmacological activity. Faculty members of my department were well-educated, had very high practical knowledge, and were student-friendly. Most faculty members were associate professors. For B.Tech, they conducted three cycle tests and model exams for practical and theory before the university exams, and for M.Tech, two CTs were conducted. CT1 consisted of units 1-2, and CT2 covered units 3, 4, and 5, along with model practical before the university exams.

We have a balcony to their room so that they could enjoy the view and breeze.
Placements: From the third year itself, students start to get placed, and placement continues till the last year. Lot of companies visit the campus like Accenture, Capgemini, Wipro, Cognizant, PTC, NICE, Mastek, Quick Heal, etc. The highest package is 25 Lacs, and the average package is 4 Lacs. Placement percentage is 75 to 80.
Infrastructure: Yearly, a sports meet would be conducted. Inter-school championship is also conducted. Freshers' Day and other cultural festivals are celebrated by the student council without taking money from the students. Clubs conduct their activities every month and give certificates to the participants.
Faculty: Faculty of our college is quite good. The staff is skilled, except some teachers only. We can reach them anytime. Some faculty members are rude, and no one likes them. There are two main exams: in-sem and end-sem, which are university exams conducted by SPPU. Otherwise, they conduct unit tests and mock tests.

My review of this college.
Placements: Placements are proactive, and SRM is a sea of opportunities. Placements are ongoing, and till now, companies like TCS, CTS, Infosys, Wipro, Cognizant, KPIT, Tech Mahindra, and many other companies visit the college for placements. The average package ranges between 3-4 LPA. The highest package is 40 LPA. For two weeks every morning, we prepare for interviews. Software companies are more numerous than the core companies, which will take students in bulk. Many companies like Wipro, Accenture, and other nearby companies offer internships. Students should just maintain a CGPA, and they will get placed in a renowned company.
Infrastructure: Hostels are well equipped with proper electricity, water supply, and great hygiene. The room sharing includes 3 members, and it helps in maintaining a cordial and friendly atmosphere. The mess food is also of good quality, and hygiene is prioritised as an important factor.
Faculty: Faculty members are too good, and they explain every concept in detail. No doubt, they are the best at explaining things. They are friendly, polite, and hardworking. The difficulty level of exams is way too high. Compared to other universities, there is nothing special, and they only think externally. The external is of 70 marks, and the internal is of 30 marks, so we all concentrate on 70 marks. Professors help to make exams easy, but the paper evaluation is done by IIT professors. I know that exams are challenging and can be conveniently managed with a proper grading scheme. The course I did is quite interesting, but a little concentration is needed at a time of practicals. Elective subjects should always be taken according to our interests. The computer science department should have one of the programming languages from the beginning of the course. Few electives are robotics and its application, operations research, alternative sources of energy, etc.

Placements: From the 6th semester, students were eligible for placements. Top recruiting companies were Wipro, Tech Mahindra, HCL, and Accenture. The highest salary package offered was 3.5 LPA. The average salary package offered was 2.4 LPA. Almost 90% of students got placed in this course.
Infrastructure: Double occupancy hostel rooms were available with air-conditioners. There was a gym facility in this college. Laundry facility was also available. The food quality was average. The hostel fee was Rs 1,40,000.
Faculty: All teachers were helpful and knowledgeable. Semester exams were challenging. The course curriculum was relevant. The ratio between students and teachers was good. Few teachers were Ph.D. scholars. Senior faculty members did not have any practical knowledge. They taught some theories. Few of them did not have much exposure to their subjects.
Other: I opted for this course to become a structural engineer. There were 35 students in our batch. The course fee was Rs 60,000 per year. The hostel fee was Rs 2,04,00, including a security fee of Rs 10,000, mess fee of Rs 55,000, laundry fee of Rs 6500, and gym fee of Rs 5,000.

The college is one of the best in India for studying biotechnology and bioinformatics.
Placements: Industry placement is offered for M. Tech bioinformatics companies like TCS Research, which stands for Life Science, and Dr. Reddy, for Biotech, but many students choose Ph.D. as an option. The batch strength ranges from 30 to 52, out of which about 5 to 10 get a good placement, others opt for a higher research path in India or abroad, and all students in previous batches are engaged in industry or Academia.
Infrastructure: There is an option for AC or non-AC and two- or three-seater rooms. You are provided with a table fan in non-AC rooms. The structure is different for all room types, like the non-AC 3-seater, and for this I pay INR 110000 per year, of which mess charges are INR 50000, which is included in this. You have to give a security deposit of INR 5,000, which you get back at the end of your course. The food quality is quite good, and you get a meal four times. The mess menu changes every month.
Faculty: Our course curriculum was designed in a very innovative and suitable way. It includes all the aspects a master's student has to know. The teaching mostly emphasizes thinking rather than just mugging it up. You always leave with a takeaway message and an orientation towards research after each day. The faculty over here is well qualified, with the majority of them having their higher studies from well-renowned universities around the world like Harvard, Oxford, Stanford, and Price universities, to name a few. The faculty-student ratio is also good. Each faculty member had almost 2–3 students to supervise and around 5 Ph.D. candidates. Class size:-60 Course fees: INR 10600.
