The college is one of the best in India for studying biotechnology and bioinformatics.
Placements: Industry placement is offered for M. Tech bioinformatics companies like TCS Research, which stands for Life Science, and Dr. Reddy, for Biotech, but many students choose Ph.D. as an option. The batch strength ranges from 30 to 52, out of which about 5 to 10 get a good placement, others opt for a higher research path in India or abroad, and all students in previous batches are engaged in industry or Academia.
Infrastructure: There is an option for AC or non-AC and two- or three-seater rooms. You are provided with a table fan in non-AC rooms. The structure is different for all room types, like the non-AC 3-seater, and for this I pay INR 110000 per year, of which mess charges are INR 50000, which is included in this. You have to give a security deposit of INR 5,000, which you get back at the end of your course. The food quality is quite good, and you get a meal four times. The mess menu changes every month.
Faculty: Our course curriculum was designed in a very innovative and suitable way. It includes all the aspects a master's student has to know. The teaching mostly emphasizes thinking rather than just mugging it up. You always leave with a takeaway message and an orientation towards research after each day. The faculty over here is well qualified, with the majority of them having their higher studies from well-renowned universities around the world like Harvard, Oxford, Stanford, and Price universities, to name a few. The faculty-student ratio is also good. Each faculty member had almost 2–3 students to supervise and around 5 Ph.D. candidates. Class size:-60 Course fees: INR 10600.

Our college provides good and experienced faculty members.
Placements: Industry placements were provided for M.Tech bioinformatics students in companies like TCS Research, Strands Life Science, and Dr. Reddy. Many students were interested in pursuing Ph.D. There were 15 to 30 students in a batch, out of which 5-10 got good placements. Others went for higher research paths in India or abroad. All students were engaged either in industry or academia.
Infrastructure: There were separate hostels for the 1st year students to prevent them from ragging. It accommodates 2 to 3 students in a room. Every room was spacious and ventilated. There were sockets, beds, and cupboards in every room. Students had the option to choose an air-conditioned or non-air-conditioned room. Hostel provided hot and cold water. The food was not good, and they didn't change the menu often, but it was manageable. Students must register for the hostel every year within the time stated by the authority. It had a wide range of hostels with fees starting from 1.15 LPA to 3 LPA, including food.
Faculty: The student and faculty ratio was good. There were many faculty members with expertise in different fields. Most of them have done a Ph.D. or post-doctorate in their respective fields. They explain the concepts very well. Exams were conducted according to the academic calendar and were moderately difficult.
Other: I chose this course because of my interest in this field. I wanted to work in the industrial biotech sector. This course was designed to provide hands-on experience with various lab techniques and exposure to the industrial sector. There were 45 students in the class. Our course fee was 1.16 LPA.

The course curriculum is great.
Placements: From the second year, students were eligible for placements. No placements were offered in this department. There were no top recruiting companies that visited our college for recruitment. Many students opted for higher studies. Students need to co-ordinate completely with the placement procedure. For postgraduates, it was a deal breaker as they cannot put so much time into these activities.
Infrastructure: Hostel facilities were average. Hostel rooms were equipped with all facilities. The food served in the hostel was better. The hostel fee was 1 LPA. Hostel was 500 meters away from our campus with excellent facilities.
Faculty: Faculty members were good. They motivate us towards research papers. Few of them were Ph.D. scholars. The teaching quality was better. Classes were conducted online due to covid. The course curriculum was not hectic. Practical was somewhat unsatisfactory as not everyone got to perform due to lack of time and space. But 1 year of project time and complete independence for handling instruments filled the gap. Examinations were easy if your concepts were clear. Only few subjects were required to mug up, and the rest were completely logical. The pass marks were 8 CGPA.
Other: I chose this course because of my interest in it. There were 50 students in our batch. The course fee was Rs 1,60,000 per year.

SRM gives admission on the basis of GATE score and after that, you have to attend counseling in the campus.
