Remarks

This is the best college in India after IISC Bangalore for basic scince. College managment is very nice.

Entrance Preview

For the admission in this collage there are three streams:-1) KVPY (Student are eligible who passed in KVPY in Class XI and XII) 2) IIT JEE (JEE Advanced qualified student till 10000 rank are eligible) 3) State Board (There is state board cut off marks decided by DST (Department of Science and Technology) Every year, If you eligible Then you have to appear for an aptitude test. They do not give any rank, they just published a list of student who is qualified in the aptitude test) PS:-JEE Advanced and KVPY qualified student are no need to appear in Aptitude Test. I always wanted to go for pure Science Field, that`s why I took admission in this college.

Placement Experience:

Actually this is a general degree University , so I must mention that placement facalities are not so good. But yes , Job Fair is organised in University by some external agencies which offer jobs varying 2-2.5 lakhs per annum . But in the university most of the students do not accept that jobs. Half of the students are more interested on the higher studies. So ahet completing the fourth semester they prepare for PhD. And the another half are preparing for central government sponsored exams like CGL, CHSL, RRB, SBI , IBPS, LIC etc. University has a significant number of students who have qualified for Government Competitive exams.

Course Curriculum Overview:

My decision to choose this course depended on the fact that this course provides you with the opportunity to get various jobs in the industries with a high lpa. But this college does not help much in that aspect. All I had to do was myself. It is my humble opinion that the institution should improve its guidance in the area of its teaching methods. The exams were twice a year and were quite difficult on their own.
