Food technology is an advanced course. It helps us to explore various aspects of commercial food handling. The syllabus of the course is well designed as to cover most of the aspects related to food industry.

Various trainings and certification programmes are arranged as per the needs of the students. College also helps in finding out a proper institute to carry out our final semester project. Trainings for competitive exams like NET will be provided as per the needs of the students

A fair placement opportunities are provided by the college. Students are trained form their start of second year to perform well in placement interviews. From the start of 4th semester students are eligible for campus placements. A number of prominent companies (including Nestle, in the case of my course) comes here for campus recruitments.

The course runs over a semester fee of 47000/- The college and its management offers scholarships to eligible students. College employment opportunities are also there. Students can take in the charge of librarian after college hours and they will be paid a reasonable amount per month

Overall it's a nice college experience here. A fair amount of celebrations and programmes anre held annually. Macfiesta, Biospectrum, Food fest etc are the major ones. An advanced and large library facility is also offered eith a wide variety of books and journals. Sports activities are very less here. There are many clubs like NSS, Food club, Forestry club etc.

Separate hostel facilities are arranged for boys and girls. Two hostel for girls inside the campus and one hostel for boys outside the campus. 2,3,4,6 person rooms are available, all rooms with attached bathroom. Food provided is also very good. Veg and non-veg options are available.

I took admission through the single-window system of Mahatma Gandhi University. There were 3 allotments and a supplementary allotment. Admission processes were smooth nd quick. College also offers management seat admissions as well

Faculties are qualified most of them with a Ph.D in their subjects. They are free to approach at anytime for help. A faculty is assigned to every 5-10 students as theor mentor so they can be open with them about any issues they face
