Remarks
If you don't study, the administration will not give even a glance of mercy on you. There are many boundations, but if you study well, there wont be any problem dfor you. There is a rule of 85 percent compulsory attandance, which can be relaxed to 75, with the permission of your advisor/mentor. But not less than 75. Still it depends on professor to proffessor. Atleat in 1st year there is no relaxation. There is a rule, that if you get 3 backs in a year, you'll get a year back/year repeat. This rule is the most frustrating. Many many students fail in their 1st year. But after 1st year there are very less chances of getting a back.
Entrance Preview
Govind Ballabh Pant University of Agri and Tect. also known as Pantnagar University, is the best place to study after IIT Roorkee in uttarakhand. The Pantnagar Tag is a great tag, its known in india as well as other countries. I choose pantnagar University because of its Tag and also I got great feedback from aluminis of this University.
Course Curriculum Overview
The course curriculum is rellay intense. It covers almost all aspects. If I perticularly talk about my course. I must say that the University makes us study all the courses in biotech and some more aditional courses. Since this university has a Fisheries college, Vetenary College, Home science College, Agriculture College, Technology college, Basic Sciences College. We are made to study some agriculture college subjects, a fisheries college subject, a vetenary college subject, a home science college subject.
Internships Opportunities
The college doesn't provide internship. We have to find a internship on our own. But sometimes the faculties have contacts with some big organizations. So they can help you find an internship.
Placement Experience
Since Biotechnology is more of a research feild. There are less job opportunities. But there are job opportunities with less pay. Some companies like TCS life Sciences, Omics, Sun Pharmaceuticals, etc have offered students jobs ranging from 18k/month to 28k/month. So getting a core job is not too tough, but pay is less. Also biotech students prefer higher studies more than job. In the 2018 passout batch, out of 24 students only 3 opted for job, one got into IIT-D,One in IIT-H, 2 in ICT Bombay, and some took a year drop to prepare for CAT, UPSC, GATE

Fees and Financial Aid
Yes Scholarship of around 899 per month is given to top 3 students of a batch in all disciplines in the University. Alart from that Many banks Provide loan for the full degree program.
Campus Life
The campus life is great, its awesome. You can wander around in the lush green campus and take the view of 10,000 acres of Agricultural beauty. Speaking of Gender Ratio, number of Girls are more than boys Throughout the year many competition keeps on going in one College or the other. The are 7 Colleges in the campus.
Hostel Facilities
There are 23 hostels in campus. Alloted according to the course which you persue. The facilities are not so good. Although this University won the cleanest govt. univeristy of india title, but some of the hostels have worse cleanliness conditions. The mess is given on contract to a private contractor. So the food quality and taste is just ok, it can be eaten to cool your hunger but, Its tasteless. Quality is also average. Mess provides Milk Packets, Juice Tetrapacks, Namkeen apart from cooked food. Once in a week icecream is also provided.(This varies from hostel to hostel)
Alumni/Alumna
Seniors are really really helpful. The seniors of Pantnagar are like the parents of the junior. All you need to do is to establish good relations with them. They help us in each and every thing, and get us out if we do anything wrong. Also they helo you in getting job, internship, writing reseaech papers, etc.
