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.

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.

Our college provides good and experienced faculty members.
Placements: Industry placements were provided for M.Tech bioinformatics students in companies like TCS Research, Strands Life Science, and Dr. Reddy. Many students were interested in pursuing Ph.D. There were 15 to 30 students in a batch, out of which 5-10 got good placements. Others went for higher research paths in India or abroad. All students were engaged either in industry or academia.
Infrastructure: There were separate hostels for the 1st year students to prevent them from ragging. It accommodates 2 to 3 students in a room. Every room was spacious and ventilated. There were sockets, beds, and cupboards in every room. Students had the option to choose an air-conditioned or non-air-conditioned room. Hostel provided hot and cold water. The food was not good, and they didn't change the menu often, but it was manageable. Students must register for the hostel every year within the time stated by the authority. It had a wide range of hostels with fees starting from 1.15 LPA to 3 LPA, including food.
Faculty: The student and faculty ratio was good. There were many faculty members with expertise in different fields. Most of them have done a Ph.D. or post-doctorate in their respective fields. They explain the concepts very well. Exams were conducted according to the academic calendar and were moderately difficult.
Other: I chose this course because of my interest in this field. I wanted to work in the industrial biotech sector. This course was designed to provide hands-on experience with various lab techniques and exposure to the industrial sector. There were 45 students in the class. Our course fee was 1.16 LPA.
