Barely Recommended: Poor College.
Placements: The student strength was quite appreciable; however, the placements promised were never guaranteed. The facilities provided were extremely poor, and placements were not even a topic of discussion. No internships were provided. Only paid internships, which students had to find on their own, were available.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure was not very good; it was just okay. Wi-Fi was not provided, and the labs were not sufficiently equipped. The classrooms were basic, and only a few had projectors. Hostel conditions were extremely poor, with hardly any security provided. Mess food was not up to the mark, medical facilities were questionable, though sports and games were encouraged.
Faculty: Some professors were highly qualified, but others lacked professional qualifications. Only a few were helpful, while many hardly came to college or took classes. The laboratories were not fully equipped, so lab skills were taught in a limited capacity, making it hard for students to be industry-prepared. Semester exams were conducted well since the papers came from the university and not the college, ensuring seriousness in the exams.
Other: I selected Genetic Engineering as it plays a significant role in Biotechnology and is important for my future endeavors. The course provided a detailed distribution of subjects, though most of it was covered by students themselves. The college needs a better Principal, more trained faculty, and an improved infrastructure, especially in lab construction.

Really good faculty members, good infrastructure and facilities but no placements.
Placements: The college does not provide any placements for undergraduate students. Most of the students go for higher studies because it will help them to land high packaged salaries. Internship is not mandatory for undergraduate students but if they are interested to do any they need to find by themselves.
Infrastructure: The campus has Wi-Fi facility. The data limit is 35 MB but in some selected areas the data limit is 1 GB. The campus has chemistry, bio-chemistry, micro-biology, genetics and computer lab. Students can issue maximum two books from library for seven days and if they are unable to return it on time they need to pay fine of Rs.2 per day. The college provides hostel facility for both girls and boys. Each hostel has Wi-Fi. They serve breakfast, lunch, evening snacks and dinner. Students need to enter the hostel before 7 pm.
Faculty: Most of the faculty members are Ph.D. holders. Hence, they are very knowledgeable in their respective subjects but they prefer to teach in Bengali language. Syllabus is not that huge and very practical base. Each faculty members study materials are sufficient for the students and they do not need private tutors to understand the subjects. In the final year, students need to do two projects one is on biodiversity and another one is dissertation.

You should score 200 or above in JAMB to stand a better chance of gaining admission to study Biotechnology. You can still gain admission if you score between 180-190 upward but you do not stand a chance with those who had scored higher.
