SAHRDAYA COLLEGE - B.Tech life

- Even though the course is biotechnology, the base was mostly chemical engineering. - The subjects were a little bit repetitive, with minor gaps in the curriculum. However, the subjects have been modified now.

Internships were mostly private companies. Students can easily get permission from college and attend the same. The college also gets many opportunities for workshops, which is also very beneficial for the students.

IT companies mostly come for the placements, the annual package was around 5 LPA. However, certain roles received offers like 10 LPA. Students are eligible for the placements from the 6th semester onwards.

- We had fees of around Rs. 45000 INR per semester. - The caution deposit was around Rs. 10000 INR, which would be refunded by end of 4 years. - All courses had the same fees, as this fee was affiliated to the University. - E-Grants scholarship, KEAM scholarship could be availed by students in merit list, based on rank.

The college has a rich history of celebrating festivals like ONAM, and CHRISTMAS. We have dedicated days for ARTS fest, College Day. Campus life was good. Hostel was also neat, little strict but good. The college had bus transportations to all nearby bus stops.

Hostel was neat, well built with good ventilation and clean rooms. It was 3-sharing rooms. Menu was also really good. The food was also cooked in neat kitchens. You can choose hostel while coming for admissions.

I applied to this college through the Kerala Admissions. The qualifying exam was KEAM. However, you can also join without KEAM score. The college was then self-financing, now it is autonomous. The KEAM is the most commonly preferred exam

- Most faculties are Doctorates, and mostly Biotechnology has female faculties. - We had a class strength of 47 (50 initially), with 6 faculties each sem . - Each sem had 2 assessments, and one sem exam

No, KEAM is the only written test, and its a state-wise conducted test. There were no separate interviews, or other procedures. The college gave us a list of documents needed and those were supposed to be submitted at time of admission

The girls' hostel was on campus, so we weren't allowed to roam around at night. After 8 they would lock the gates, which makes the hostel very safe. We had 2 wardens per hostel. The gym was also within the campus, accessible till 6.30 pm.
