Pavan Kumar A's Review On Karunya Institute Of Technology And Sciences - [Karunya Deemed University], Coimbatore

I took, Karunya Entrance Exam which will be conducted all over india to earn a seat in Karunya University. I scored 86% in the entrance test and got a free seat (with out Admission fee), though i have paid 15k per semester during 2006-2010.

Hard copy of course curriculum were distributed while beginning of the semester. The same is available on the students login in the college intranet which can be accessed in the hostels and also in labs. Course curriculum was designed with a focus on getting introduced to all subjects in Bioinformatics.

Yes, our university/college provided me internship. This was provided to only merit students (people who score more than 8.0 CGPA each semester). I have given 8k per semester for 6 sems.

Unfortunately, since i was in very second batch in Bioinformatics in my college, we did not had core jobs. But many IT companies has come to hire Bioinformatics students for IT support and IT developers. Almost, 60% of my batch got placed in IT companies like (LG, Wipro and Infosys).

There are always, symposium technical workshops and conferences. We can benefit from the industry talks given by the working professionals during the conference. Technical symposiums and workshops were the platform for us to showcase our posters and our work to the department students (Juniors and Seniors).

Fee was feasible. I paid 15k per semester during 2006-2010. Apart from, semester fee, student has to pay towards, canteen fee (once per month), library fee (once per year) and exam fee (once per semester).

Students can avail loan facility. Merit students has a opportunity for getting stipend of 8k per semester.

We have two internals per semester, third internal (Optional : to gain more marks, best of 3 internal marks were considered). Quiz for all subjects. Main semester exams (Both Theory and Lab) It was no so hectic, you would have enough time to prepare for your exams.

After results entrance exam results were out, i have received a rank card and admit card. Based on the percentage in the entrance exam, i was asked to choose among Biotechnology and Bioinformatics in admission counselling. I was called for admission to the university to go through further admission procedure like Text books (first semester), lab uniform etc.
