M.Sc. in Zoology - Batch of 2024

5Placements5Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

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

Placements: 83 percent of the students secured positions at the university with good grades. The highest salary offered was 9LPA while the minimum salary was 3LPA. The top recruiting companies at our college include ICMR NIO and CPCB. Nearly all students obtained internships. The main programs offered to students were Research Scientist Wildlife Biologist and more.

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.

Faculty: Teachers at our college were helpful and knowledgeable. They were all well qualified. The curriculum was suitable and matched the industry needs. Students were ready for jobs. The one month exam was neither too hard nor too easy. The pass percentage was about 70 percent.

M.Sc. in Biotechnology - Batch of 2025

Offered by MITS School of Biotechnology

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.

M.Sc. in Zoology - Batch of 2024

5Placements5Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

Overall, the best college for the M.Sc. in Zoology course.

Placements: Almost 70% of students passed this course. The average salary offered was 6 LPA. The highest salary offered was 9 LPA. The top recruitment agencies are Zoological Survey of India, Wildlife Institute of India, Indian Council of Agricultural Research, etc. Vocational training was not provided in this study. The top roles offered were Environment Consultant, Wildlife biologist and so on.

Infrastructure: There is a large library on our campus. You have a separate room for your office. Classrooms are equipped with smart boards. Compared to other colleges, the centre is too good. Facilities are awesome, plenty of parking and a garden in front of the office building.

Faculty: The key part is the faculty. In this university, teachers are trying to help every student and solve every problem. They are very competent people. Modern education is practised in this university. I had no business background. The curriculum was very useful for the students. The semester exams are not that easy, and the pass rate is 52%.

Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) - Batch of 2027

Offered by DRIEMS University

4.4

3Placements5Infrastructure4Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

The infrastructure is really good.

Placements: As a current second-year student, I can speak about the overall placement reputation and what we hear from the senior batch. The placement cell is actively working, and the general sentiment is positive. The placement rate for the BBA graduation batch is typically around 60-70 percent. The highest package secured by a BBA graduate is 4 LPA. The average package generally falls between 3.0 and 3.5 LPA.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure at DRIEMS is genuinely good and is one of the university's strong points. The campus is spacious and well-maintained. The BBA department has access to standard classrooms. The common computer labs are sufficient for our academic needs. The central library is well-stocked with essential management and commerce texts. It provides a quiet environment for studying. I appreciate, especially as I focus on maintaining a high CGPA.

Faculty: Faculty members are knowledgeable, highly cooperative, and genuinely good people. They are the main reason I maintain a good CGPA. They are always willing to clear doubts and provide guidance beyond the curriculum. In terms of course structure, the management is forward-thinking. We hear that the junior BBA batch (2025 onwards) has transitioned to a 4-year duration, likely incorporating NEP 2020 guidelines, which is a major positive and adds value to the degree.

Other: The annual tuition fee is only Rs. 65,000, plus a minor is Rs. 2,500 exam registration fee per semester. It makes the overall cost significantly lower than other private colleges. The hostel fee is Rs. 75,000 per year, inclusive of mess charges. They given quality of infrastructure, faculty, and the supportive environment. The BBA course at DRIEMS offers outstanding value.

Very nice college and faculty members are also very good.

Placements: Placement of the college seems to be moderate. The amount of placement colleges deal with this in a very confidential way. A total of 74 percent of students got their placement from this college. Some of them got jobs in Wipro and TSC-like companies. The placement is very good.

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.

Faculty: Exams are occurring at the time. Every month, at least one surprise test occurs, and every six months, one semester happens in college. In college, there are a lot of curriculum activites happening in between them. I like NCC, it is a huge department.

Other: The course from my friends and family point, has a huge future scope. If you study well, then you go for IIT JAM or GATE types of things. You also get a scholarship application notification from the college association. Every college function brings lots of light to the college with lots of fun, like dancing and singing.

Good college, good facilities.

Placements: There are no placements for a degree like B.Com, B.Sc., etc. Some students are working in different banks and private tax companies.

Average salary they are given in private jobs is 15,000 to 30,000 per month.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is good. Wi-Fi is available all over the campus with CCTV security. Library is good; all types of books are available in the library. There are two hostels, one boys’ hostel and girls’ hostel inside the campus. Classrooms are good. Labs are spacious. There are cricket ground, volleyball court, basketball court, and badminton court present.

Faculty: Faculty are highly qualified and experienced. They all have done their studies. Mostly faculty members use native language, which is easy to understand.
