B.Tech. in Biotechnology 

at KTU, Thiruvananthapuram

KTU is just an affiliating type university.

It does not have any direct campuses.

Research funding is very week.

They give only around 20 PhD fellowships a year.

Authorities are at TVM and they issue non-practical orders.

Faculties are stressed because even clerical work are transferred to them in form of digitization.

The university believes that making syllabus and exams extremely difficult will increase quality of education and employability.

But, the result is a large group of dropout and mentally tortured students.

In short research output of KTU and employability of KTU students are big question marks
