Blending nature, culture, and quality education at Viva-Bharati.
Placements: As a fresher, I can share insights based on the previous batches of the B.Sc. Botany course. While placements are limited in pure sciences, around 10%-15% of students got placed, mainly in research labs and educational roles. The average package range between 2.5 LPA-3.5 LPA, with the highest reaching around 5 LPA. Many students pursue higher studies rather than direct placements. Internships were offered to about 20%-30% of students, mostly in research institutes and NGOs. Roles include lab assistants, research interns, and field surveyors. The course is more academically inclined, preparing students for research and postgraduate studies.
Infrastructure: Viva Bharati offers small classrooms, well-equipped science labs, high-speed campus Wi-Fi, and a rich central library with departmental and cultural archives. Hostels provide basic, clean accommodation with mess facilities serving simple, healthy meals. Campus hospital offers 24/7 medical support and emergency care. The university promotes physical well-being through sports fields, gym, swimming pool, and indoor games. Museums and cultural spaces add to the academic depth. Surrounded by nature, the campus fosters holistic development, blending traditional values with modern learning. Overall, it's a peaceful and resource-rich environment ideal for academic and personal growth, as envisioned by Tagore.
Faculty: The faculty is highly qualified, experienced, and supportive. Teachers are approachable and encourage interactive learning, often blending theory with practical insights. The curriculum, especially in Science streams like Botany, is well structured and updated to include both foundation and advanced topics, making it relevant for research and industry. Regular practical, fieldwork, and assignments enhance understanding. Semester exams are moderately challenging, focusing on conceptual clarity and application. With consistent study, students can perform well. The overall pass percentage remains high, reflecting the effectiveness of both teaching and assessment methods. The course helps in building a strong academic and career foundation.
Other: I chose Botany because of my deep love for plants, nature, and the environment. The course allows me to explore plant life scientifically and connect it with sustainability, which aligns with my passion and future goals. The best part is the blend of theory, lab work, and field studies. I wish there were more interactive sessions, updated lab tools, and industry exposure. The campus is peaceful, green, and rich in culture. Events like Basant Utsav, Posh Mela, and student fests make it vibrant. The crowd is diverse, and scholarships support many.
