Glimpse of life at GLA University

Before this, I applied for Bsc in applied botanical science in D.E.I, Agra and within 15 days of joining I left the college as I was not at all satisfied with my course. After this, I got to know about GLA University while searching for the college's that has Bsc Honour's in biotechnology. I did a thorough study about this college and I was very amazed at the facilities they are providing. First, talking about the admission procedure. You have to first register yourself for free on the gla website soon after this you'll receive a call from the admission department and they'll answer all the doubts you have and will give you a detailed account of the college. You are then asked to give an admission test at the admission office ( you can choose any office as per your preference). You should have a minimum of 50% in 12th to appear for the test. If you have successfully cleared the test with a minimum of 60% then you are eligible for admission. And undergo further processes.

I choose this course because this is a growing field and in upcoming years it will provide vast job opportunities. GLA is the only college in UP that is providing this course. And all the faculty members have a PhD degree with immense knowledge in this field. Since many are not aware of this field so the student's number is not more there are around 50-60 students in each class. According to my, it's an advantage because this way teachers pay a lot of attention to every student equally. Every class and labs are well equipped with projectors, Computers and AC so the teaching is quite fun and interesting. Some teachers provide notes through hard copy and some give ppts and PDFs. All the questions in the exams come strictly from these notes and whatever is taught in the class. Exams are held twice each semester. The difficulty level of the exam is neither too hard nor too easy. If you have paid good attention in class then you can pass easily.

College does not provide internship opportunities so for that you have to do outside the college. However, the college provides training programs wherein you are alloted different topics and you can do your research on that particular topic and write a research paper. You are also provided with a training certificate that enhances your resume.

GLA University is well known for its placement. As soon as you reach your last semester you are eligible to sit on placement drives as per the company criteria of attendance and percentage. Companies from all over India come for recruitment including Microsoft, TATA, Amazon, Wipro etc. 2100+ placements are offered with the highest package of 32 LPA. 75% of students are placed every year from each course and the percentage increase every year. I am currently sitting in placement drives for my recruitment.

The scholarship opportunity is provided to the students whose parent's annual income is below 2 lakhs. Wherein they are provided with an allowance of 50% of the total fees. Campus placement provided by GLA is from renowned companies with fancy packages, above 2 lakhs annually.
