Commonly asked questions
On Placements

Q: How are B.Tech placements at RPCAU, Bihar?

Hello Nishar Ahmed, RPCAU of Pusa, Bihar traces its origin to the agricultural college formed way back in year 1905. Since it became a Central University in 2016, it has tried to develop in all aspects. Over time, placements cell came into existence and also courses of engineering related to agriculture that were the need of the hour. However, placements, which is the USP of engineering colleges these days, took some time to fruictify in this university . In fact placements figures are very dismal when compared with any other engineering college offering standard courses. But this was so since not very many private entities were into research in biotech or even agriculture. This field was mostly occupied by government labs and entities. Now these being public funded, can not select a particular institute for recruiting students. They need to keep the field open for every Indian citizen who has acquired qualifications across India. However students of this central university have indeed bagged appointments in many government labs.

It's only in recent times that private industry has jumped into the fray and I am sure, as time passes, placements figures are bound to become better and better.

Best wishes to you.

This department is progressing in our college.

Placements: As far as my knowledge, there have been no placements in this course for the past 4-5 years. But if the whole batch requests for the recruiting companies to Dean then some ways may appear. Krivco, and Kisan Pro are some of the examples of recruiting companies during the placements era. As I know, Rs. 10,000- Rs. 50,000 salary packages are common.

Infrastructure: Our department is continuing to improve its infrastructure and provide practical labs for Tissue culture, Microbiology, Molecular Biology, and some others. It also owns a library which remains closed maximum times but if possible it is a proper place to utilise the gap period. Unfortunately, there's no Wi-Fi or I haven't identified its Wi-Fi in the department. Classrooms are average, some have defective fans while some have defective benches. There is a smart classroom also but there's is no switch to the inverter or generator during power off. The quality of facilities in our hostel is better than expected. There's a proper eye on hygiene and taste of foods in the mess. The canteen contains very few listed items. Medical facilities are average as there is a dispensary and many students do not find the right option to choose it. Sports and games are also available such as table tennis, shotput, race, kho-kho, etc.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. However, students have to be clear about what they want to study today so that teachers can make a perfect interface with them. Their teaching quality is nice but most of them do not teach in depth. But if you ask for that, then they can. The course curriculum is relevant. Semester exams are not so tricky job. I ensure that if students attend the classes properly, then one night's study is enough to score well and without any cheating (It's tried and tested, so don't worry). The pass percentage is 6 CGPA for non-Bihar and 5.5 for Bihar students.

Other: I chose this course according to my interest in biotechnology topic which covers the way to become a scientist and can provide products and services for nature welfare. Required number of events are organised according to the occasion, and Biotech Meet is one of the fests organised every year. This college also provides a stage to participate in dance, music, and literary events in the way of your interest. It provides scholarships to Bihar as well as non-Bihar if their semester-wise CGPA is above 5.5 and 6 respectively. College campus is so peaceful and there is greenery that every urban-crowdy person dreamed of.

Recruiting drug companies like Sun Pharma, etc. There are internship programs for students throughout the course. Microsoft and Infosys visit our college for internships. After doing B.Tech biotechnology, you can go for research and Ph.D. Government jobs are available after B.Tech.

Infrastructure: The hostel building and college building are quite old constructed. The rooms are spacious. Classrooms are very spacious and have a seating capacity of 100 students. The mess and canteen is very good. Labs are available for every course. The equipment is old. Some equipmet is not functional.

Faculty: We have the best faculty members. They are qualified. They are always helpful and knowledgeable. The curriculum is vast and very relevant. It is the best for us to pursue higher studies in good subjects. Semester exams are average. You have to study your curriculum thoroughly to get good marks in exams.

Other: We will get the best campus life. This course provides more technical knowledge. I chose this course because of my interest in the biotechnology field. The campus regularly organises camps, tours, and events which are of fun and best for campus life.
