M.Sc. in Biotechnology - Batch of 2027

1.6

University of Madras has a good name, but is it worth it.

Placements: There are no campus placement opportunities or campus interviews provided for students. Companies do not come to the campus for recruitment. Students cannot depend on university for placement after completing their degree. It is even hard to get a placement if there is a mention of University of Madras Department of Biotechnology. If you want to get experience, you are responsible for it and have to do it on your own.

Infrastructure: The department does not have a properly functioning laboratory. Although chemicals and equipment are present. Even basic laboratory requirements such as ethanol may not be available. Even preparing or replacing classroom fans or other basic facilities may take several days. The library is actually good and peaceful. We also have Anna Centenary Library nearby. The hostel facility is somewhat convenient because it is located within the campus. But hostel cleanliness and regular maintenance are really a concern. The mess food is reasonably good once students get used to it. It is just okayish.

Faculty: The department staff is knowledgeable, but the syllabus does not flow properly. The syllabus is not always taught as it is provided. The exams are really tough. Questions are asked not from the syllabus but from what the professor has taught. It is really hard to pass the exams. The pass percentage is very low. The course does not make students industry-ready. It does not provide enough support for their academics.

Other: I chose this course thinking that University of Madras is the best option. But once I joined here, I got to know about everything behind the name. So I think the Department of Biotechnology could change only if there is a change in the administration itself. Other than that, there are no major celebrations. Even if there are celebrations, they are only at the departmental level. There are no major celebrations in the Department of Biotechnology.

Overall, I would like to say everything is best.

Placements: Our university internships are respectable, with almost 82% of students being placed. The highest package offered was 24 LPA with the average package being around 13.5 LPA and the lowest being 6 LPA. Leading recruitment companies such as Biocon, Covance and Parexel visit our campus. 75 percent of students on our course have secured internship placements with top positions available in the food and biotechnology industries.

Infrastructure: The university offers excellent infrastructure for our course department, which includes well-equipped laboratories, Wi-Fi-enabled classrooms, and an extensive library of current journals. The food in the canteen is okay, but the selection could be improved. Sports facilities are available for indoor and outdoor games to contribute to the overall well-being of students. Medical facilities are also available around the clock.

Faculty: Our university teachers diligently contribute to the education of students. They accompany you in both personal and professional areas. All teachers at our university are highly qualified and experienced. The annual success rate is over 91%. They teach the different concepts to the students very easily, and the teachers also prepare us through project work, seminars, and various activities.
