M.Sc - Food Technology

CFTRI is a College having a 70+ year long history and that was enough of a reason for me to choose it for my Master's degree. The college is affiliated with Mysore University & it is a Private institute. CFTRI is also given approval by AICTE group. Students seeking admission to the M.Sc program in this college will have to apply for the CFTRI entrance exam.

The specialisation I chose for my M.Sc was Food Technology as it has built a good demand over the years. The M.Sc programme is of 2 years which has a total of 4 semesters in it. We also had practical facilities so that the content can be offered to us in the easiest & effective ways. The college also used to organise various kinds of academic competitions.

No, I haven't participated in the internship round because I wasn't sure if it would really help me in the long run. However the decision may not seem good to some but I finalised after a few consultations and was ok with it.

Our college is a trustworthy Private college of our state and that's the reason why companies such as ITC, Infosys and Unilever Ltd visit the college for placement offers to the deserving of. Packages are given under Food care, Operations, IT domains and a good number of students got placed. The average package for the course varies every year

We had to pay two annual shifts of INR 24,000 for the M.Sc programme at CFTRI. As the total programme fee is just INR 48K thus no such pressure of fee is put on the students. For candidates who match the eligibility, Merit based scholarships are also available.

Our college campus has a good package of Learning as academic, Co-curricular and sports facilities are available in the college. For a good touch of practical knowledge, we were given laboratory sessions also and a variety of seminars and workshops are organised by the institute. The college also has a good Hall, library and modern tech equipment for the students.

I lived with my Uncle-Aunt who had a flat near our college and as we had family relations so I decided to live with them. Some students lived in Hostels/PGs for their Journey with CFTRI . There is something really good about this life because it is arguably the best time one experiences in their student life.

CFTRI College conducts a Special entrance exam for admission and students interested to opt for the M.Sc - FT course in this college must appear in this exam. Students must have completed their UG in relevant field to become eligible for the M.Sc admissions.
