I choose Int MSc Biotechnology as I love Biology and wanted to go in research field. And I found Siksha O Anusandhan University has an Int program which I find really interesting. Faculty Student ratio is quite good. It's like 1: 4. There are near about 13 to 15 high qualifying professors in our Biotechnology department and all are PhD holders and all are working in some projects everytime. Examinations are always on time. Internals or Mid terms conducted near about 2 to 3 months from start and semester exam conducted in every 6 month. Exam question papers are moderate and if you really study then you will definitely score very good marks and if you maintain your score then you will be provided with scholarship every year.

Some HR companies and sales companies do visit for placement. And the stipend is not that high ,it is 10000-15000 /- .A lot of projects research-based are going on like topics related to cancer and genetics etc.
