Experience of college life

I appeared for university entrance examination and Department of Biotechnology, Government of India provided merit based scholarship to top 25 students in entrance exam. I chose Msc. Biotechnology because of my interest in subject and science. The admission process include entrance exam based upon simple graduate biology syllabus. Once you qualify the exam. The merit list is prepared on the basis of entrance exam result and percentage scored in graduation + 10+2 examinations.

The course curriculum is according to biotechnology syllabus. The syllabus is according to CSIR-NET syllabus. The course include theoritical classes in Biochemistry, Biophysics, Cell and molecular Biology, Recombinant DNA technology, Genetic engineering, Microbial proteomics and genomics, Plant and animal Biotechnology, Bioinformatics, bio-statistics and bioprocess tehtchnology.

There are no company placement. But most of the government organisations like NII, JNU, BHU, IARI, ICAR, CSIR absorbs students from the university in projects and Ph.D and stipend varies from 12000-30000.

The job opportunities are limited. Most of the students qualify CSIR net and avail fellowship for pursuing Ph.D. There is no placement provided by university. Students manage on their own. But most of the research institute easily recruit students from the university because of its name.

The college focuses on all round development based on concept of panchmukhi sikhsha. There re annual events like foundation day, Technical fest like Janus, national youth festival, and international conferences.

Yes, College offers many scholarship. And department of biotechnology is supported by department of biotechnology, government of India . Top 25 students get this fellowship.

It was all girls college. Campus life was good but one limitation was that exposure to outer world is very limited. As many types of restrictions on students are there and no television or thing like common room for entertainment is available.

There is alumni network but i don't think it is very effective. You don't have much communications with alumni. Limited interactions with seniors as hostels are separate and no meetings are organised.

The exam and labs are hectic. You get little time to chill in an academic year as every semester is divided into quiz, class test, sessionals, mid sem and final semesters. The practical exams are conducted at end of the sessions.
