B.Sc. in Biotechnology - Batch of 2029

3Placements4Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life3Value for Money

It has good faculty and nice infrastructure. There is no good placement rate.

Placements: Placements are not that good. One of the students from the senior batch got placed with a package of 1.3 LPA. The placement rate is low. Companies also recruit students from abroad. If a student studies hard, then placements are not that tough.

Infrastructure: The equipment required for our practical is present. Honestly, some of the equipment is not in good working condition. I am staying in an off-campus hostel, so the infrastructure is good, but Wi-Fi is not available right now. However, it is mentioned in the college prospectus.

Faculty: Faculty members are good at explanation and very approachable. The syllabus had been completed on time. The management of time while they are teaching is also perfect. Exams are conducted strictly. There are rules during examinations that are strictly obeyed. The course curriculum is good.

Other: I chose this course because I loved the subject from the very start. The best thing is that I get to do lab work, and I love doing practical work. My favourite days of the week are when we have our practical classes. The lab equipment can be better. Management of event organisation should also be improved. I have not attended any fests because they are not held.

4Placements5Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life4Value for Money

Really good quality of teaching and the best infrastructure.

Placements: 75% of students got placed. The highest package is 35 LPA, and the lowest is 10 LPA. This is best for a student at Tata and Infosys. 80% of students who complete this course from this university got internships. It offers a vast array of opportunities, like forest rangers and many more forest officials.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi, labs, AC, and departmental library available. Food is average, games and sports are top-notch. Hostel facilities are above average, and the guidelines and guidance are top-level. I am eager to tell my juniors to come to this college and take their friends with them.

Faculty: The college has helpful teachers. They are well qualified and experienced. Many are holders of a doctorate. It is very relevant and helpful in serving the future. Semester exams are a bit tough, but if you study well, you can pass. 35% is the pass percentage. 35% is the pass percentage .

Other: The course is related to the raw forest. They should add more practical classes.

The environment was good, and faculty was very helpful.

Placements: After completing the 4th semester in law, students could apply for placements provided by the placement cell. It was based on the best performance of students in their academic roles, internships, and other curricular activities. The placement cell in the college had visits from companies like Wipro, Infosys, and USB. Around 60% of students got placed after completing the course. Litigation was my career plan after this course.

Infrastructure: The room facilities were good. There were 3 bed students in one room. The rooms were big and comfortable for 3 students. The meals were good. Every morning, they gave us fried rice, puri sabji, khichdi, egg curry, roti, etc. For lunch, there was dal and bhaji with chutney, and for dinner, roti or rice with chicken, paneer, fish, egg curry, etc. The hostel was on the university campus.

Faculty: I knew the teaching staff was appointed by Mumbai University, but they could still do some work on this. There were different types of courses, and for each course, they gave different timings. For our course, they gave 2 hours and 30 minutes to complete, and our course followed a 75:25 pattern.

Other: Choosing law was my own decision, and I thought that DY Patil was a good university to study law. I believed they needed to improve their teaching staff.

M.Sc. in Chemistry - Batch of 2024

5Placements5Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

This university has a very clean and green campus.

Placements: Most of my class is doing placements in chemical companies. I think the package is between 2-4 LPA. About 20% of students are doing internships. In Chemistry M.Sc., students are mainly getting offers from chemical companies and other institutions like junior colleges and colleges from guest professors.

Infrastructure: In the hostel, delicious food is provided, and the lodging facilities are very good. You can choose a single room or a double room depending on your budget because it's a private university. Wi-Fi is available for use, and the hostel offers complete freedom.

Faculty: All teachers and staff are qualified and competent, and they are very helpful. Whatever you need, like study materials, they will provide through Google Classroom. Semester exams can be a bit challenging if you are not regular in class; if your attendance falls below 75%, you will have to pay a fine.

Other: I'm interested in Chemistry. We have 70 students in the Chemistry department, but some students haven't cleared their backlog subjects. The university campus hosts around 6,000 students.

My review of this college.

Placements: The institution offers a high package of placements to the final year students. Internships are also there in order to help students learn the implementation of their knowledge. Many reputed legal firms and companies hire students. The placement in this college is amazing. The salary package given to the students in the university is 5-7 LPA. There is a 100% placement in this university. The highest package offered is 20 LPA with 100% placements. Roles like legal counsel are offered in law firms and companies such as Deutsche Bank, Luthra, etc.

Infrastructure: The course curriculum is very well designed and keeps getting changed every now and then for more efficiency. There are five subjects in every semester, and each subject is very interesting and crucial for interpreting all the larger topics. The hostel facility is good, but a little overpriced. We have 3 blocks each for boys and girls. A common room has board games, table tennis, football, TV, etc. The mess serves good and hygienic food. The students and teachers living in residence have the same food, so the food quality is kept in check.

Faculty: The faculty members are very approachable and well-qualified. They do possess exceptional knowledge of the law. The teacher's approach to teaching is also very positive. The faculty teaches courses in an interesting way to make students understand in a easy manner. They help us build our confidence level during the seminar class. They always try to resolve doubts in or even after classes with appointments. The teachers are very cooperative and support the students in every way possible. Exams are conducted twice a year, and they are quite cool as far as exams are concerned.

Master of Business Administration (MBA) - Batch of 2025

My honest review of my college.

Placements: Job opportunities for students are okay. Many companies visit the university for students, and many students get good jobs in these companies. The placement process is interesting. Every year, many companies visit for the placement of jobs for students, and many students get selected.

Infrastructure: There is a university hostel for both boys and girls on the university campus. The hostel fee for a 3-seater is 6500 Rs per student for both boys’ and girls’ hostels. Non-veg is provided 4 days a week during dinner. A student staying outside spends only about 4000-5000 Rs per month, which allows them to save some money to buy things or spend elsewhere.

Faculty: Faculty members are not bad except for one or two. Most of the teachers are very much qualified. They always try to make us understand what they are explaining by any means. Sometimes they make jokes when the students get bored to try to freshen us up. It’s just amazing. The exams are neither very frequent nor too relaxed. There are four exams in a semester: three sessional exams and a semester exam. Each sessional exam is of 30 marks. Out of the three sessional exams, the average of the two best scores is calculated and added to the final report.
