My college - IIFPT

I think good aspect is the exposure my college will give to Food Technology students, we have many departments including New product development, food packaging, food safety and quality assurance, etc. All these departments have their separate labs with high quality equipments where you can perform your research under the professors valuable guidance. If you join this college, believe me you have chosen the best college for food technology in India. But, my college is affiliated under TNAU, which means all the academic related should be decided by TNAU (ICAR accredited-one of the best agriculture college in India). My college is getting the Institute of National Importance (INI) status which means my college will soon be a deemed university. The main reason why I choose is I always want to do something different, everyone are going in same path like choosing CSE, ECE, EEE, etc so I want to choose different path in my life which is why I took Food Technology and another main reason is I am always fascinated about food science and its processing from farm to fork, I really wanted to get involved in those processes so I choose this course. Well while choosing this college I just used www.shiksha.com website for reviews. Also I contacted my college seniors through LinkedIn and asked their insights which helped me alot to choose the best.

I believe, I have choosen the best course in my life and it's proving to be true. Food Technology as you see, it's a brilliant course which includes processing from farm to fork of all foods. You can know what's food science, it's chemical reactions during cooking, what will happen to food during processing steps, what things we need to follow during its processing etc. This Food Technology Course comprises Food Microbiology, Food Biotechnology, Food Chemistry, Food Science, Food Safety and Quality Assurance, Food Packaging, New Product Development, Non Thermal Processing of Food, Thermal Processing of Food etc. Term exams will be conducted every 6 months (sem exams, we can say). Odd Semesters usually starts from Aug - Sept and ends in Jan - Feb. Generally, In November you will be having mid semester exams. The even semesters generally starts in mid Feb and ends in July - Aug, with mid semester exams in April and one month summer holidays during May. Difficulty of exams is one's perspective and it changes from person to person. All I can say is, study well and take inputs from your seniors, understand the basic concepts, then you'll clear them with ease.My faculty are, one of the best faculties one could've asked for. Every professor is a specialist in their own departments, they did their PhD research works in the world-class universities. They have lots of experience in their fields and will definitely help you with your research works.
