I'm not happy with placements, but there are really good teachers, infrastructure and facilities.

Placements: There are no many placement facilities for biotechnology, and core biotechnology companies do not visit here for recruitment. You will get placed in non-biotech companies which visit our campus. It could be possible only if you have a good GPA and also certain skills which have demand.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is the best, and there are well-facilitated reading rooms. Our college has one central library, and Wi-Fi facility is available throughout the campus. Labs are well-equipped and maintained. There are 4 eateries which include both vegetarian and non-vegetarian menu and one pure vegetarian eatery. There are good sports facilities, and also a new gym area had been inaugurated with the latest equipment.

Faculty: Faculty members here are well qualified, as most of them are PhD holders. Their teaching quality is also good and knowledgeable. They are very much approachable. The course curriculum will make you industry-ready as there are extra facilities like minor subjects and special topics are provided to us so that we become industry-ready.

Other: Our college organises an annual fest named Athma Trisha for 3 days with a great festive atmosphere.

One of the best college in Bangalore for CS and IS.

Internships were offered by Biocon, Novozymes, TATA etc. With no stipend.

The best placement, best teachers. Our department has the best labs. Facilities are also good.

Placements: As far as I know from my experience, 50%-60% of the biotechnology students mainly prefer higher studies like MS, M.Tech, MBA, etc. The core companies are not coming to our college, but we will get placed in IT companies. Our placements are not yet done. In previous or senior batch, 15 out of 50 were placed. The lowest salary was Rs. 3,00,000 per annum. The highest salary was Rs. 4,80,000 per annum. As there are no core companies, all types of IT companies will come, like Accenture, Akamai, etc. Mainly, they get software developers roles. 60% of the biotech students will get the internship. The highest stipend was Rs. 10,000 per month. The average stipend is Rs. 5,000 per month. There is a placement cell in our college. The placement cell is not much useful.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is super fast in libraries. Wi-Fi is not available in the hostel. There are the best classrooms that I have ever found. The library is fully modern. It covers not only curriculum books, but also many novels, spiritual books, and computer with internet facility, newspapers and magazines are also available. Medical, sports and games facilities are average. The sports mainly played are basketball, cricket, football, TT, etc. The labs are well-maintained. PES hostel is the best hostel in Karnataka. The campus is facilitated without fights, and full cleanliness, room cleaning, 3 messes, reading room, computer with internet facility, laundry facility, etc. PES University has the best infrastructure facility.

Faculty: The teachers are very helpful. Not every teacher is qualified. Most of the teachers are knowledgeable. The teaching quality is 4.5 out of 5 in Biotechnology department. They are ready to make many sacrifices. They stay up to 5:00 PM for us. The student to faculty ratio is 150:17. We are taken on at least one industrial visit for every semester. The curriculum is very helpful.

Other: Many events are happening in PES, the best among them is Samarpana, Atma and Trisha (fest). The campus crowd is average. Our biotechnology department has the best alumni connectivity, and surroundings are also clean. Scholarship facility is also available. Every Tuesday, extracurricular activities will be there.
