Overall, it's very good for students' sake.

Placements: In our college, students who have above 65% can apply for their respective courses. The highest package is for law courses, which offer 1 LPA, while the lowest package is Rs. 55,000. The average package is about Rs. 75,000. Tata is one of recruiters. About 98% of students are selected in our course. The top roles offered in our course are in bioinformatics, microbiology, and food biotechnology.

Infrastructure: The atmosphere around the campus, especially for the hostel students studying at our university, is good. The infrastructure is good, and Wi-Fi facility is available for students. They can visit the library after class hours at any time, as it remains open until 8:00 PM. The university provides all necessary facilities and shows extra involvement in sports activities for the benefit of students.

Faculty: Teachers are very friendly towards us, and they are well-qualified faculty members. They structure the student curriculum properly and prepare us well. It's pretty good actually, but if we concentrate more on every subject, it becomes easier for students. The pass percentage is 40%.

VELS University, B.Sc. Biotechnology.

Placements: Placements were good, but not the best. Companies that came did not offer good packages, at least for my course. The lowest package was around Rs. 13,000–14000, and the highest was Rs. 30,000 according to my seniors. Lab assistant and medical coder roles were mostly offered.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi facility and labs were good for my course. The library was good and easily accessible for most students on campus. The hostel food was good at the start of the year, I won’t talk about the middle of the year. I mostly ordered food from outside, and by the end of the year, it was super good. The hostel rooms were okay. There was laundry service and vending machines for snacks and juices. Wi-Fi facility was good in hostels.

Faculty: Teachers were super friendly and helpful in most cases if you just existed or performed well, but if you were someone who did notorious things, never expected good internals. The course was relevant, internships were mostly provided, and they gave practical knowledge about the industry. The semester exams were easy if you were an active listener in class. The pass percentage was 40%.

Other: I chose this because of its growing industry and active development in India. I didn’t know anything that made this course any better. One of things I liked about the college was its college fest and events. There were various scholarships available for students.

Yeah, now they are a little busy with their classes, but they are good in teaching.

Placements: The average and high percentage of students are placed in our course. The lowest package offered is 25,000, and there are well-recruiting companies that are the best for placement. Many of them were selected through scholarships, which is the best opportunity for placement.

Infrastructure: In our course, there is Wi-Fi, labs, classrooms, and a library—all well maintained and providing good infrastructure for students. They have a lab assistant for all types of lab work, and they provide good teaching in practicals.

Faculty: The faculties are well-educated, qualified, and knowledgeable, making the semester a little easier to study. The faculties are PhD holders and have the experience to teach us. They are very disciplined, and their guidance helps us score good marks in the semester.

Other: They have extracurricular activities, and the cultural events are the best.

Absolutely satisfied because of faculty, really good for learn more things and parts about life.

Placements: A minimum of 20% of students are placed in more companies, like Metropolis Lab, and all students complete their internships.

Infrastructure: My department has free Wi-Fi, labs, and smart classroom facilities. The hostel food is not bad, but it is good to eat. Some foods, like poori, are not as good, but no one can complain about it because the food is not bad in flavor and taste. It is lower in cost compared to homemade food, but it's okay. The entire campus is very clean.

Faculty: In our department, the teaching is perfect. Some teachers are not very good, but they complete our syllabus on time and provide important questions for the semester examinations. Some faculty members teach in a friendly manner, while others are not bad. But, there are some incidents that could be avoided, but those are not our problem. Students are not allowed to leave during class hours. They are closely monitored by guards for student safety.
