Explanation about CIPET under BPUT.
Placements: The placement system is good recently. Some students say that the campus holds the record of 100 percent placement in recent years. The lowest package here is around 3 to 4 LPA . The average is 6 LPA, and the highest is somewhat 10 LPA. It is all the record provided on the college website. It may be false, but it holds the word of mouth. Around 80 percent of students get the chance to apply for the internship programme.
Infrastructure: The academic building and the laboratory building are quite big. All the classrooms are well-spaced. Wi-Fi is available for all, but it is quite slow. The library has well-stocked magazines and essential books required by the students for study purposes. The hostel facilities are acceptable. The mess food is decent, but it is limited here. The bathrooms are not so clean, and the medical facilities are limited.
Faculty: The faculty members are educated, experienced and quite supportive to all the students. They don't prioritize any gender. All faculty treat all the students equally. The academic course provided here is reasonably good and up to date. It helps the student in being industry-ready. The semester exams are easy, and the pass percentage is above 90 percent.
Other: I chose this course because this college comes under BPUT, and it is very much affordable for all the students. Roughly 2–3 events occur inside the campus in a 5–6-month gap.

Details of MITS School of Biotechnology.
Placements: The institute has a placement section, but it is not very popular. Companies like Capgemini, TCS, healthcare/biotech firms, Deloitte, and Wipro recruit their employees from the campus. The average package is around 3 LPA to 3.5 LPA. The top package is up to 3.8 LPA. This is not my assumption, but the specific batch data. The college provides placement training and helps students gain more skill-based training rather than just bookish knowledge.
Infrastructure: The academic infrastructure is quite good. Wi-Fi is available for all students. Classrooms are digital, air-conditioned, and equipped with projectors. The library has a well-stocked collection of books and essential papers required for the M.Sc. course. The hostel system is available for both male and female students. The rooms mostly have attached bathrooms. Each room accommodates a minimum of 3 students. The hostel food is not very good, and regular complaints are raised for that reason.
Faculty: Teachers are highly educated and very experienced in their respective fields. All teachers actively help you understand the topics and make it easy to apply them in practical situations. The curriculum mostly focuses on advanced topics like Bioinformatics, Molecular Biology, and Bioprocess Engineering. Students feel very supported by the teachers. The semester exams are quite frequent and mostly application-based.
Other: I chose this course because of my interest in biotechnology. It is the most affordable college for M.Sc. in Biotechnology (according to me). The better thing the campus can do is increase the area of the campus.
