The curriculum is to the point of real world applications. It helps us in clear understanding of how real world works and provide better guidance The frequency of exam is based on the unit completion and the difficulty level is intermediate

Campus Life

5

It has grand annual fest Gardenia which is held for 3 days. Other sports and extracurricular activities are also offered. The library is filled vast variety of books, journals etc available during college hours. The classroom has smartboards for all interactive sessions, presentations etc. They also have Gcu portal through which students can view their attendance, upload assignments, complete assessments like quiz etc, apply for leave applications for hostellites and students can also pay their fees through the same portal which is easier than waiting for your turn in long queues in fee counter

Admission

This was the first college I have applied for and I got admission very easily. I choose this college because of the course availability and it doesn't need any other competitive exam for the admissions, just completed graduation in life science field. The overall admission experience was excellent because you will have a person to person interaction to guide you throughout the admission process

Faculty

5

The faculty to students ratio is more and the faculties are friendly and approachable. I personally like my pc because of how understanding she is and her way of teaching is really helpful. The exam systems are conducted through online mode no writing exams . For every unit there will be quiz conducted and the marks will be considered for the total which helps us to analyse how much of the subject we have understood. They also provide coursera course as a part of choice based assessments

Night Life

5

As I'm a day scholar student I don't stay around that area so no idea but you have lot of options like gyms, cafés, shopping marts for groceries, clothes etc in nearby . At night time I guess it's good considering the environment around that area. You also have lake right in front of the college for relaxing.

Food and nutrition articles in newspaper made me to take this course. As it had full scope in that time. Actually curriculum is very poor in preparing us for real world application. Practical session must include more of industrial visits and projects related to industry. We had enough time to study .

Course Curriculum Overview:

I liked this biotechnology course in degree(Bsc) and i wanted to continue this course with higher studies. Hence this university is reputed one in Karnataka.. i choose this one and I got the seat and I am very happy for this. The teaching methods are really good but it depends on particular lecturers, how they teach .. For main sem exam the time was around 3 hours for 70 marks and it was moderate and can be manageable
