M.Sc. in Biochemistry - Batch of 2026

4.2

The chemistry department is good.

Placements: 30% of students are placed throughout the biochemistry course for their careers. The highest package in biochemistry is 7 LPA. Sun Pharma, EMCure, PW, and Allen are recruiting here. 100% of students have internships this year in both industrial and research institutes. Researchers and pharma experts are the main roles of the biochemistry course.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi, a library, a very large lab, and well-furnished classrooms are available in the department. Hostel facilities are good, with 4-sharing rooms available. Washing machines are available for clothes and bed sheet washing. Several messes are on campus, and their food quality varies, but generally, decent veg and non-veg options are available. There is a health center in the department. The campus has good sports and recreational facilities.

Faculty: Professors are very experienced and knowledgeable. Teaching quality is excellent. Yes, this course follows NEP. Many industries hire students from here. Semester exams are not very difficult, but average papers do occur. The pass percentage for SPPU is 50% internal and 50% external, with an overall passing mark of 40%.

Other: I am a chemistry student eager to gain experience in biochemistry and life sciences. The department has a large library, and the lab facilities for books are among the best in the course. For career purposes, we can become good researchers through this course. I think chemistry is underrepresented in this curriculum; adding more chemistry would improve understanding. The department hosts three events annually, and many scholarships are available for students.

I will say college is very good and knowledgeable institute.

Placements: Almost 70% of students are placed in biochemistry for jobs. The highest package in my course is 4.7 LPA and the lowest is 3.1 LPA. Sun Pharma, Serum, Cipla, and many education companies are recruiting from my course. This year, 10 out of 20 students secured internships in biochemistry at Thermax, Cross Life Science, and some water treatment companies. The top roles available include scientists and researchers, with pharmaceutical companies seeking lead scientists.

Infrastructure: The Wi-Fi is good. The biochemistry lab is the largest in the department and very spacious. There are two biochemistry labs. The department library is excellent, with many knowledgeable books available. The hostel facilities are also good. Regarding the mess, I would say some aspects are good while others are not. There is a large health center on the university campus with amazing facilities. The sports grounds are extensive, and there’s a badminton gym available. Games will be played in February and March each year, and many tournaments take place.

Faculty: The biochemistry teachers are very helpful and qualified. Their teaching quality is impressive. Some guest faculty members are not as effective, but we can address this with the head of the department. The course curriculum is fully relevant to the industry and all types of jobs. The semester examinations are generally medium difficulty—not too easy, but not overly hard either. 50% of the final grade is based on external assessments and 50% on internal assessments. The passing mark is 40%.

Other: I was originally a chemistry student, but in my last semester of graduation, I developed an interest in biochemistry, which led me to switch fields. Biochemistry is a highly informative course with a lot of potential. I believe some boundaries should be established for this course, and additional chemistry content should be included in the biochemistry curriculum. There are 3 big events in the department: freshers, farewell, and 5 days fest. The campus is very big and there are many people and departments on the campus. Connectivity is good. The surroundings of campus are also good but that is mostly some distance from campus.

Really good infrastructure, one of the best department in state.

Placements: Due to corona this time placement % was quite low. But every year lots of reputed companies like aurigene, syngene, O2h etc. Visit to the campus for placement. Average package was 2-3 lap. Even lot of students applied for internship at prestigious institution like NCL, NCCS.

Infrastructure: Its department is one of the finest department in the state. It is equipped with all the major facilities like Wi-Fi, library etc. Department is at main spot of campus. All the major departments, canteen, main building and central (jaykar) library are at walking distance.

Faculty: Teachers are well experienced, highly qualified. Course curriculum is well-set that it helps for many competitive exams like CSIR NET. Semester examination are quite different and difficult than afflicted colleges as it is a autonomous department. Teachers are too helpful. They solve all your doubts personally anytime you want and also give career guidance.
