Overall best College for M.Sc. In the Zoology Course.

Infrastructure: The amenities at our college were excellent. It was a pleasant library. There was no Wi-Fi but our classrooms were tidy and cosy. Our labs were not as good as their rank indicated they were mediocre. There were no instruments or equipment in the lab. Our university had clinics as well.

Details of MITS School of Biotechnology.

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.

Infrastructure: Hostel facilities are also very good. Rooms are very clean with everything on the system. Basically, college faculty members are very good. They serve everyone very politely. Wi-Fi is not available in the hostel. It is a big hostel, so the installation of Wi-Fi costs a lot.

Top pharmacy college in Odisha.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is good as it is a government college. Wi-Fi is available all over the campus with CCTV security. There are government hostels for boys and girls inside the campus. Mostly, students do not get government hostels, so they stay outside the college. Classrooms are very good with projectors and smart boards. Labs are well-equipped and have all the operators and equipment used in the industry. Various grounds are available for cricket, volleyball, basketball, etc.

The hostel is also very good for both male and female students. We have a big playground in our college, and all over the college, we have trees everywhere; it’s a totally nature-loving college.
