Alok Ranjan Saha's Review On Institute Of Life Sciences - [ILS], Bhubaneswar

The course duration is 2 years . Exams take place properly throughout the course. Labs are available for all the work . Some days your life will be relaxing here and some days it will be very hardworking.

Placements are good here. One must sit for them . The organisations who come for recruitment provide good packages also. Many of my seniors got selected last year in a good place and are very satisfied with their placements too.

The fee structure is fine and decent . It is might be expensive for someone and might be just okay for some. The course duration is 2 years. Fee structure also vary from other courses. It lies between 1-4 lacs

The university has all the mandatory facilities like Library,Computer labs ,Auditorium Medical clinic , Cafeteria etc . I find Library the one of the unique place here. It has a huge collection of books and journals. I have spent a lot of time in this place . It has other research facilities like Instrumentation, Animal House Facility and Bioinformatics Facility.

It is mandatory that candidates should have passed their M.Sc. / M.Tech. / M.Pharm./ M.V.Sc. or equivalent qualification in life sciences and allied subjects (Biochemistry/ Biotechnology/ Bioinformatics/ Biophysics/ Chemistry/ Microbiology, etc.) with minimum of 60% marks (or equivalent grade point). Programming/scripting experience would be a plus for candidates interested in Bioinformatics. Candidates awaiting final results may also apply, however, if shortlisted, they have to produce their final mark sheet on the date of the interview, failing which they will not be interviewed. Candidates should have also qualified in CSIR/UGC-JRF or DBT-JRF or DBT-BINC-JRF or UGC-RGNF or ICMR-JRF or DST-INSPIRE or GATE or GPAT. If the original certificate is not available, the candidate has to provide a photocopy of the original admit card and the particular result page highlighting their roll number, along with the application.

Faculties are very good here. They have a good behaviour pattern towards all the students. Also, they provide all the necessary study materials throughout the course . Some faculties prefer to go online for material and make notes. They are very supportive and dedicated towards their profession.
