Remarks

Reputation of this university as a college, it's excellence and updated syllabus, exam pattern, updated teaching pattern, low teacher student ratio, Freedom of speech these are the main reason behind my choosing this university.

Course Curriculum Overview

Course curriculum is evenly distributed into 4 semesters for 2 years. Being a masters degree course syllabus is unto research. Faculties are renowned and highly qualified in their respective fields. They are student friendly.

Class Size: 29Course Fees: INR 8000 per year

College Events

Campus life is good. Lots of events with annual celebration in Ispat, Milieu etc. take place. Availability of sports equipment is good. Our university is one of the prominent university where political freedom is present.

Campus Life

Sports facility in terms of basket ball court, a playground for multipurpose use is present. Carrom is available at Boys' common room. All time free wifi is available. Library building is equipped with lots of essential books of Indian and foreign publishers along with some antique books and journals, periodicals also. Our lab has 30 monitors for our GIS works.

Hostel Facilities

Almost the whole of the college stays in hostel. Our curfew is 9:30pm and they are very strict about it. We have sharing roomd between 2 people and every room has an attached bathroom. We have didis to clean our rooms everyday. There is a common space between 4 rooms(block) which is big enough for everyone to sit and work together if needed. Theres wifi for every block. The wifi works well most of the times. when it doesn't we just hv to file a complaint and they fix it.

CBPBU - Learning in Royal City

Placement Experience:

Actually this is a general degree University , so I must mention that placement facalities are not so good. But yes , Job Fair is organised in University by some external agencies which offer jobs varying 2-2.5 lakhs per annum . But in the university most of the students do not accept that jobs. Half of the students are more interested on the higher studies. So ahet completing the fourth semester they prepare for PhD. And the another half are preparing for central government sponsored exams like CGL, CHSL, RRB, SBI , IBPS, LIC etc. University has a significant number of students who have qualified for Government Competitive exams.

beloved Scottish caledonia

Course Curriculum Overview:

My decision to choose this course depended on the fact that this course provides you with the opportunity to get various jobs in the industries with a high lpa. But this college does not help much in that aspect. All I had to do was myself. It is my humble opinion that the institution should improve its guidance in the area of its teaching methods. The exams were twice a year and were quite difficult on their own.

Course Curriculum Overview:

Biotechnology is a highly demanding course in today's world. The syllabus for this course is mostly around bookish knowledge and you have to gather outside knowledge on your own. There must be an internship for every student arranged by department itself in various other institues or labs for practical work experience.
