Effectiveness of Placement Cell for M.Sc. Programs at Thapar University

Based on student reviews, here's what we found:

* Decent Placements: While students from B.Tech courses may have more opportunities, biotechnology students still receive offers from organizations visiting campus.
* Internship Opportunities: In addition to job placements, internships are also provided on-campus for M.Sc. students.
* Fewer Job Opportunities in Biotechnology: As biotechnology is an emerging field, there are limited job opportunities in India, which affects placement rates for biotechnology students.

In summary, while the placement cell seems to be doing its part in providing internship and job opportunities, the number of placements may vary depending on the programme (B.Tech vs. M.Sc.). Biotechnology students may face fewer job prospects due to the industry's relatively small size in India.
