Remarks

Overall this is a great college. The faculties are very helpful and encouraging. The laboratories are great. I wish the canteen would be a bit nice and I would have been happy if the food quality gets better.

Course Curriculum Overview

In my opinion the course curriculum are pretty good. There are times when I suffer from a load of the studies but eventually I cope up with the courses. Actually it is easy to score good marks but the courses are a bit vast.

Internships Opportunities

I have studied for two and a half year in this college. Till now the college couldn't provide any internship opportunities to the Graduated students. It is heard that form the next year the college my provide internship.

Placement Experience

This college have both B.Sc and M.Sc courses. There aren't any job opportunities for the students who have passed the B.Sc. and haven't done M.Sc. yet. But the college can provide a few job opportunities and placements if a students pass M.Sc.

College Events

3.5

Our college celebrate Independence Day on 15th August by hoisting the Indian National Flag. Our college also celebrate Teacher's Day on September 5th following the Freshers Party a few minutes later. Our college also celebrate the Farewell Party for the students of Final Semester.

Fees and Financial Aid

The college doesn't provide any scholarship or loan facilities to the students. It would be of great help if the college could provide scholarship or loan facilities to the desired students. There are may students whose family income are not so much. This loan facilities could help those students.

Alumni/Alumna

Yes, before taking admission in this college I talked with 2 senior students about the college. They said every pros and cons of the college. I also asked them about the courses and streams. Their detailed information helped me a lot.

Admission

There aren't any online admission form fill up. I had to visit the college and talked with authority. I talked about the courses, fees structure, placements etc. I filled up the form and I took admission in this college.

Faculty

The faculties are great. They help us in all possible ways. They are very kind, friendly and when required they are also strict. They encourage us if we score bad in any subjects. They try to make us understand the courses in a easier way through PowerPoint presentation and etc.

NOT RECOMMENDED

Likes

Campus is nice. There's greenery and all
SOME of the faculties are really good and those said teachers will actually look out for you and care
Mentors are appointed for each students who are responsible for their final year project, publications and LORs. If you are lucky, you'll get a good mentor.

Dislikes

Classrooms are less compared to the number of students. Students have to wander around the building after each classes to find seats. Classrooms are very dirty
There's literally NOTHING in the labs. Experiments take way long to prepare and perform because reagents and equipments are never available.
Hardly a 2 week summer break (because of MAKAUT). Students cannot even apply to good internships because no lab would take in external students in july or august.

Placement Experience:

People who major in my department usually opt for masters over placement not because of this college but because overall industrial or academic opportunities are better with a pg degree. Masters from this college is not recommended as i have heard so from my seniors. Some of my seniors managed to crack competitives and secure MSc seats at great places. Training and Placement cell had a good coordinator previously but now its almost non existent. Companies do come and hire Bpharm, Mpharm and MSc candidates. Packages are below average. Only Nestle pays well. But if you do well you'll eventually climb up the corportate ladder. From the time i am here i have not heard of any BSc candidate getting placed. Most go for higher studies.

Good enough

Likes

The faculty members are knowledgeable and supportive. Most teachers explain concepts clearly and are approachable after class for doubts and guidance, which helps a lot during exams.
The college has a disciplined academic environment with regular classes and practical sessions. Laboratories are functional and help students understand concepts through hands-on learning.
The campus environment is calm and student-friendly. Various seminars, cultural programs, and academic activities help in overall personality development.

Dislikes

Industry exposure and internship guidance are minimal, which could be improved to make students more job-ready after graduation.
Infrastructure can be improved, especially classrooms and laboratory equipment. Some facilities feel outdated and require modernization.
Placement opportunities for BSc students are limited. The college focuses more on academics, so students need to prepare for higher studies or competitive exams on their own.

Placement Experience:

The average package offered for such roles ranges between ?2–3 LPA, while the highest package offered to a BSc student is around ?4 LPA, depending on skills and specialization. Overall, around 15–20% of BSc students get placed through campus drives, and many students rely on off-campus opportunities.

Likes

I like the campus , it is quite huge and green , the canteen has both cooked and packed food available, a seperate common room for students and many sports equipment available. Several functions are arranged along with international conferences held
All the faculty members are soft spoken , knowledgeable and friendly, it is easy to find help regarding anything.
Professors are strict about their syllabus and subjects , paying proper attention to the students. Practicals classes are conducted without fail.

Dislikes

There is nothing as such that I disliked because I am a first year student so I haven't been so much involved yet , I think that the washrooms should be cleaned properly to maintain the hygiene apart from thjs everything is fine.

Course Curriculum Overview:

Subjects offered in the college as well as the minor and idc subjects are well adhered to the curriculum and future aspects. The subject combinations are apt and futuristic. It moderately prepares one for real world situations.

Reasons to not apply for NSHM Knowledge Campus

Likes

The admission process was very smooth, the administration board is very helpful.
The library is huge and the content of books is very good
College life and fests are good but not great

Dislikes

Placements are absolutely bogus. There were almost no good placements when i passed out part of it can be blamed on covid but mostly the college was largely at fault
Faculty was not upto the mark in regards to the hefty college fees we were charged
Even during covid online classes we were charged full fee which is again absolutely horrendous

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course curriculum was well thought out as per me but there were subjects that i found absolutely unnecessary. Subjects like history evs and clc were in no way related to my course. Coming to the main subjects Design, Printing, Photography and film and Media Training were absolutely necessary for my course and whilst the faculty for some of these subjects were really bad, some were good. It is also important to mention none of these subjects actually helped us prepare for the real world. Instead internships and freelance helped us more than these subjects could ever do. Exams were held bi monthly to keep track of what we learnt and every 6 months we had our semester exams. Overall if you want to be a media professional INTERNSHIPS AND JOBS WILL HELP YOU MORE THAN A COLLEGE WILL. I am biased on this opinion as my college didnt provide me with the correct guidance and support i needed to make it in the real world.

Dislikes

Our college doesn't provide hostel facilities
Our college doesn't provide campus requirement drive

Course Curriculum Overview:

* It's all about practical knowledge, we are getting from this course and another aspect is if you wants to make your career in research or lecturer then you should go for it. *No changes required in teaching methods but if college will provide hostel facilities and campus requirement drive, then it will better for candidates.

I was set to take a b.sc in Biotechnology only. For this subject in bsc, there are not many colleges available. I applied to st. Xavier's college and in Institute of Genetic Engineering. I got the call from IGE before so I took admission here only. Another reason for choosing here was because IGE is the first college in its state to teach this subject, so the teachers are extremely knowledgeable. I didn't realize face any problems in admission. I opted for online admission. It was absolutely hassled free required percentage in HS or equivalent is 60% and there is not really an age limit. The young the better after 18+ age....Read More
