What Students Say

Likes

I like the infrastructure over here , its really well developed.
The faculties over here are very helpfull and supporting.
The canteen and mess food over here is very hygienic and tastes good and there are lot of varieties.

Dislikes

Some subject are given not relevant to the course.
There are no cctv cameras in the classroom.
Some partiality is there as the club members tend to select their own friends.

Course Curriculum Overview

This course is very much growable in the future and it is a large growing field. This curriculum prepares you for real world application and future academic pursuits. Exams are taken twice a semester and the difficulty level is moderate .

Class Size: 34Course Fees: INR 153250 per year

Internships Opportunities

Top recruiting companies are such as Biocon, Cipla, Aculife pharmaceutical,etc. Approximately 89% students can get internship based on their performance in companies like cipla etc. Top role offered in my course if you go for PhD then you can be a researcher or work at a 9-5 job.

Placement Experience

From 6th semester you can apply for internships. The companies that have visited are amazon, flipkart, wipro, etc. Highest package is 8-9 lpa and average is 4-5 lpa. Percentage of students getting placements are 76%. After degree I will do M.Sc .

Fees and Financial Aid

Bsc Biotechnology fees- 613000 1st and 2nd sem- 71000 each 3rd and 4th sem- 74500 each 5th and 6th sem- 78500 each 7th and 8th sem- 82500 each The fees of the other batchmates are also from 6 -15 lakhs. Students are given scholarship aswell , if the student ranks 1,2 or 3 then 100% scholarship and if ranks 4,5,6 then 50% scholarship.

Campus Life

The annual fest helds in February called AMIPHORIA. All the books that you would need to complete the course are available in the library. The faculties over here makes presentation which helps us to get better understanding of the topics.

Admission

I have applied to DU and BHU. I got confirmed in BHU and some other colleges kolkata but I chose this college as it is providing much better faculties than other colleges and also the placements over here are better. The eligibility criteria is you have to score above 60% in physics, chemistry and college in 12th class boards .

Faculty

Faculty to students ratio is 1:60. The faculties are very much approachable. There are some facilities that i don't like as they do partiality and doesn't even care to make students learn things nicely. 90% students passed the exam . The course circulum is very much relatable.

Night Life

My favourite hangout place is atrium . The gym, cafeteria, public area closed at around 5pm and the library usually closes at 6pm but at exam time it closes at 8pm. Famous hanging spot for students are atrium,canteen ,etc.

Likes

Fixed timetable Classes, regular assessment and class test
The professors are very qualified and their teaching style is excellent.
A lot of books are available in the main library as well as in the department library

Course Curriculum Overview:

The syllabus and curriculum of Calcutta University is aligned with other entrance examination (eg.IIT JAM, JEST, TIFR, GATE etc.) Specially for the Physics BSc course. And the syllabus is updated Artificial intelligence bacis, Python Advance level is in syllabus, it's completed in college. Point to be Noted - The time given to prepare for the exam is sometimes ample but sometimes it is very less. So we have to prepare syllabus in time which is little bit frustrating.

NOT RECOMMENDED

Likes

Campus is nice. There's greenery and all
SOME of the faculties are really good and those said teachers will actually look out for you and care
Mentors are appointed for each students who are responsible for their final year project, publications and LORs. If you are lucky, you'll get a good mentor.

Dislikes

Classrooms are less compared to the number of students. Students have to wander around the building after each classes to find seats. Classrooms are very dirty
There's literally NOTHING in the labs. Experiments take way long to prepare and perform because reagents and equipments are never available.
Hardly a 2 week summer break (because of MAKAUT). Students cannot even apply to good internships because no lab would take in external students in july or august.

Placement Experience:

People who major in my department usually opt for masters over placement not because of this college but because overall industrial or academic opportunities are better with a pg degree. Masters from this college is not recommended as i have heard so from my seniors. Some of my seniors managed to crack competitives and secure MSc seats at great places. Training and Placement cell had a good coordinator previously but now its almost non existent. Companies do come and hire Bpharm, Mpharm and MSc candidates. Packages are below average. Only Nestle pays well. But if you do well you'll eventually climb up the corportate ladder. From the time i am here i have not heard of any BSc candidate getting placed. Most go for higher studies.

Good enough

Likes

The faculty members are knowledgeable and supportive. Most teachers explain concepts clearly and are approachable after class for doubts and guidance, which helps a lot during exams.
The college has a disciplined academic environment with regular classes and practical sessions. Laboratories are functional and help students understand concepts through hands-on learning.
The campus environment is calm and student-friendly. Various seminars, cultural programs, and academic activities help in overall personality development.

Dislikes

Industry exposure and internship guidance are minimal, which could be improved to make students more job-ready after graduation.
Infrastructure can be improved, especially classrooms and laboratory equipment. Some facilities feel outdated and require modernization.
Placement opportunities for BSc students are limited. The college focuses more on academics, so students need to prepare for higher studies or competitive exams on their own.

Placement Experience:

The average package offered for such roles ranges between ?2–3 LPA, while the highest package offered to a BSc student is around ?4 LPA, depending on skills and specialization. Overall, around 15–20% of BSc students get placed through campus drives, and many students rely on off-campus opportunities.

All the faculty members are soft spoken , knowledgeable and friendly, it is easy to find help regarding anything.
Professors are strict about their syllabus and subjects , paying proper attention to the students. Practicals classes are conducted without fail.

Dislikes

There is nothing as such that I disliked because I am a first year student so I haven't been so much involved yet , I think that the washrooms should be cleaned properly to maintain the hygiene apart from thjs everything is fine.

Course Curriculum Overview:

Subjects offered in the college as well as the minor and idc subjects are well adhered to the curriculum and future aspects. The subject combinations are apt and futuristic. It moderately prepares one for real world situations.

Reasons to not apply for NSHM Knowledge Campus

Likes

The admission process was very smooth, the administration board is very helpful.
The library is huge and the content of books is very good
College life and fests are good but not great

Dislikes

Placements are absolutely bogus. There were almost no good placements when i passed out part of it can be blamed on covid but mostly the college was largely at fault
Faculty was not upto the mark in regards to the hefty college fees we were charged
Even during covid online classes we were charged full fee which is again absolutely horrendous

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course curriculum was well thought out as per me but there were subjects that i found absolutely unnecessary. Subjects like history evs and clc were in no way related to my course. Coming to the main subjects Design, Printing, Photography and film and Media Training were absolutely necessary for my course and whilst the faculty for some of these subjects were really bad, some were good. It is also important to mention none of these subjects actually helped us prepare for the real world. Instead internships and freelance helped us more than these subjects could ever do. Exams were held bi monthly to keep track of what we learnt and every 6 months we had our semester exams. Overall if you want to be a media professional INTERNSHIPS AND JOBS WILL HELP YOU MORE THAN A COLLEGE WILL. I am biased on this opinion as my college didnt provide me with the correct guidance and support i needed to make it in the real world.

Truth from an amity student

I got accepted to all private colleges which had psychology but I chose amity because they give you the freedom and to some people it might feel that amity is a fashion show but no, our hoi is very strict about it The campus is very spacious but climbing so many stairs without lift is VERY HARD. if only they could fix that I think everything would have been fine. The admission process for me was really easy and in the first classes a lot of students couldn't do their registrations but the teachers helped out a lot....Read More

Amity University, Kolkata from a btech biotechnology

I didn't apply for any other colleges though I thought of Adamas and Heritage. But I got to know since the last few years only marketing placements are being provided by the other colleges which I wouldn't prefer in future being a btech biotechnology student. Amity has better opportunities and placements which I heard from my friends who were already studying. I was a dropper student and I didn't want to take one year of risk so J got into this college for partial drop so that even If I don't get , I would still have a good opportunity . Online forms need to get filled for admission and then there's a video upload interview type session which they take through a link....Read More
