    IIT Bombay is the best Institute in India.
    Placements: Nearly 80% of students in our course who sits for placements get placed. The highest 20 LPA, the lowest 6 LPA. Biocon, Sysmex, strand life Science, and Byjus are the top recruiting companies. Around 50% of the students got internships mainly in research institutes like IISC, NIBMG, CDRI, and NCCS. Research associates and content developers are the roles offered.
    Infrastructure: Department of Biosciences and Bioengineering is well-equipped with all the facilities that a student will need to carry out his/her research. Classes take place at LHC which is pretty huge. The central library is well maintained with a lot of books related to all the subjects being offered in the institute. Hostels are very well maintained with Wi-fi connections at nearly every place on campus. Food quality is also great.
    Faculty: Teachers are knowledgeable and pay more attention to building your concepts rather than old-school teaching. The course curriculum will make you more of a research-oriented person rather than making you industry-ready. Exams are based on the concepts you build during your lectures. Nearly everyone passes.
    Other: I chose this course as this is the best institute in India that is providing this course. Fests held are Mood Indigo, Techfest, PAF.

    Placements: The placements were quite a good thing here, and about 79% of students were given jobs in campus placements. I also got a placement.

Sports and games were also very good there, and there were annual days. There were canteens, good food, labs, library and farewell also. It was a great experience. We are assigned the top roles of a vice president also.
    Faculty: Teachers and curriculum were quite nice here. The teachers were very helpful and friendly. We were given revision questions, and they were very relevant. The old question papers were very helpful to pass the exams. However, the difficulty of exams was very high, but it was made easy by our qualified teachers.
    Other: The fee was just a little high, as there were many charges that were not useful. The crowd was not good enough. Ragging was a common activity there no matter where you are like in classrooms, hostel or campus. Seniors used to tease us.

Canteens are available, but its number has been reduced since the previous year. Medical facilities are very good, and it is available for 24 hours. Sports and games facilities are also good.
    Faculty: Some teachers are helpful and knowledgeable. Some professors are new, and their way of teaching is not so good. They use only slides and just read those in front of students.

    Placements: Placement opportunities in our college are such that you will get the chance to be placed over the IIITB campus only for the further studies but with the valid competitive exam to be cleared as GATE. However, the position of RA is found there to be offered by the department.
    Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is well-developed with the availability of the central library facility for 24x7 for students. The connectivity to the IIIT wireless through the campus made the study search easy, and it is available at any time to the students.
    Faculty: Teachers at IIT seemed to be helpful in the respective field and are even available at the campus at any time to clear the doubts. They were friendly to talk. Students feel free to share their problems which they are facing at the campus as well as academics.
