M.Sc. in Botany - Batch of 2024

5Placements5Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money
Overall, best university for M.Sc. in botany course.
Placements: Most of the students got jobs in top multi-national companies. Last year, the highest salary offered was around 23 LPA by Microsoft. The average number was also high. Top recruiting companies were NCBS, CMFRI, IISc, etc. Many students were offered full-time jobs and work in a variety of supporting roles. Top jobs were botanist, plant taxonomist, and so on.
Infrastructure: Facilities at our college were quite excellent. Every branch consisted of blocks, and each block included either lift 1 or 2. We additionally maintain distinct areas for sports, library, and canteen. College campus lacks hotels, but there were 3 hotel locations within 5 KM. I prefer staying at private hotels since they offer larger and higher quality rooms.
Faculty: Faculty members were highly experienced. Most of them completed their PhDs. They were friendly while teaching and clarifying doubts. College was self-contained, so semester exam correction was done at the college itself. The hard paper was moderate. The pass percentage was always high. The pass rate was over 50%.

Overall best University for M.Sc. in Botany Course.
Placements: Almost 86% of students progress through our study. The maximum wage offered is 32 LPA. The average pay ranges from 9 LPA to 17 LPA. The minimum wage offered is from 2 to 6 LPA. Top recruiting firms include Arcadis, Mahyco, and DuPont Pioneer. Many students received internships through our college. Top positions available include horticulturist, florist, and others.
Infrastructure: My college's facilities are quite intriguing and great. The classrooms are good, and the library is peaceful. I did not stay at the hostel because I live outside, so I am unsure of its quality. Sports and games, together with strong diets and medicine, are beneficial.
Faculty: My teachers are helpful, qualified, and informed. The teaching quality is also good. The course curriculum is adequate, and it does prepare students for jobs. Exams at the university are challenging; there are no straightforward questions, so we must prepare thoroughly in order to achieve a high score. The pass rate is 45%.
