I am satisfied to join this college.
Placements: Placements scenario was good in our college. Placements cell conducts many activities for the students and around 50,000 students got placed. The average salary offered was Rs 10,000 per month. This college provides internships for the best-performing students, and I did not go for any internships at this college. The average stipend amount was based on the company.
Infrastructure: The course chosen was the B.Tech course in biotechnology, and this was one of the good courses. It provides high-tech laboratories and a library. Wi-Fi was also available. It provides a separate hostel for boys and girls.
Faculty: Exams were frequently for students. Our university laboratories were not good. Faculty members were very energetic and talented, and they clear the students' doubts. The interactions with alumni were very effective. This contributes to better relationships with students.
Other: This college provides scholarships for the students under the welfare schemes of the student. I did not avail any scholarships from this college. The management helps the students in getting the loans.

Not very satisfied with. No campus life.
Placements: Not many students were placed in my course. I guess the lowest package offered was 3 LPA. the highest being 6 LPA. Companies like Wipro, cognizant, Equitos, and Ciranda IT. As far as I know, not many people were also offered internships. Biotechnologists and bioinformatics are the top roles offered in my course.
Infrastructure: We have good and secured lab facilities with well-constructed buildings. Playgrounds are available for a variety of sports, which makes us more interested in going to college. At the hostel, we have good maintenance and food facilities. Non-vegetarian food is provided for everyone, with a small canteen available for our convenience.
Faculty: The teachers are friendly to deal with. The staff is also good at teaching and student interactions. Exams are not so difficult if the students follow the instructions given beforehand by the staff. And the curriculum is also good to begin with, covering almost everything in biotechnology.
Other: My department conducts two annual events, such as a symposium on Sarvasastra and a meeting of Biozone. The college is not very eventful. No culturals and no tour.

There are facilities for many sports like basketball, volleyball, cricket. There is gym facilities for the students. There are many different canteens on the campus and food is also nice.
Faculty: The faculty members are well versed in their subjects and everyone is Ph.D. holder. There knowledge is well updated with modern research work. They are helpful too. There is a newly opened research too with many government funded projects. The course curriculum is much related to the GATE syllabus which makes it easier for the students to prepare for competitive exams. We have visited many industries related to fermentation, food processing, etc.
Other: There are fest, workshops and seminars conducted at a regular basis. Even extracurricular activities are conducted on a yearly basis.
