    Absolutely satisfied with the dissertation project, faculty and infrastructure.
    Placements: The placements were not that much good. But, the maximum students used to go for higher studies or paid project. Some of the companies came which offered a monthly salary of Rs.22,000. Students were given a chance to go for the summer project with the stipend of 3000-5000.
    Infrastructure: There are well-equipped labs and instrumentation facilities. The university is having a separate animal house and marine house facility. The classroom contains projector and Wi-Fi facilities. The library contains a large collection of books and journals. Food provided in the canteen is fine but need to be improved in terms of quality. The hostel rooms are fine and airy. I didn't face any infrastructure related issue during my tenure.
    Faculty: The faculty of the department of biotechnology are erudite and helpful. The way of teaching varies from teacher to teacher, but all of them deliver knowledge based on recent research. The course is designed in such a way that contains both theory and practical knowledge. They gave industrial exposure.
