Course Curriculum Overview
I chose biotechnology that too with btech and not bsc was because I needed to learn basic programming as well as other elements that are already taught in bsc courses. Whole syllabus was connected to industry and had real world examples. Course could have more practical classes for few subjects like c++. Frequency was okay. In a semester, 3 exams are not too hectic and keep us upto date with the syllabus ongoing and that too relevant with the course so moderate in difficulty level.
Fees and Financial Aid
Per semester it was around Rs 86000. So yearly I paid Rs 172000. All the fees like tuition, caution, lab was included in 86000 except for examination we had to pay around Rs 900 to register. Fees for btech bioinformatics is Rs 108750. Based on jee/neet marks, defence personnel, sports, and need cum merit scholarships are available for selected students.
Campus Life
Annual fests like MOKSH and spring fest in march, lit fest in April and other competitions held in media marvel fest and flower fest. There's a variety of journals written by our seniors and professors accessible to us in the library, fiction and non fiction with subject related books are also available. Facilities and technologies present in our university had benches, podium, smart board, projector, white boards. A yuvraj singh stadium is present for cricket matches and football with a milkha singh sports facilities having gym and badminton area. I was a part of NSS , social group run by students moderated with faculty and Red taboo club which was solely managed by students.
Admission
I applied to Chandigarh University and Lovely Professional University on the side and both had confirmed admission after a personal interview round. I didn't had rejection but based on nirf rankings, location, course I wanted to study didn't really match with these two universities. Admission process starts with submission of a registration form and then a counsellor will be assigned to you and he or she will guide you throughout the process and even help you choose the course based on your interest. You'll be giving a interview and after that you'll be selected for the given program you applied to. You can avail for various scholarships on the side as well. Eligibility is 55% for ig programs and 60% in pg programs. Exams valid are jee or neet score for my course that was btech biotechnology. These two are most preferred but neet was given a preference as it's biotechnology. Cut off for neet and jee exam are as follows: 137/720 and 93.1. My overall experience was smooth and done within a day or two and onboarding within a week
Faculty
15 students per faculty i.e., 1:15. Faculty and students had a very respectful yet friendly relationship in terms of studies and other personal matter. All of the faculty were really approachable and guided us through the problem. I liked Dr Pankaj Chauhan and Dr Tarun Pal sir as they both helped me throughout my project and even in personal matters. There was no faculty that I dreaded as such. Exams were divided into 3 i.e., unit 1,2 and final. Less than 5% students failed and that too for low attendance. The course curriculum is up to date to industry standards.
Night Life
Gym had a closing time of 9 pm Cafeterias in campus worked till 9-10 pm. Library had 24/7 access. Public areas was open 5 am to 10 pm at max. Hostel timings was 5 am-9 pm and campus in was 8 pm. Nescafe, foodie hub, central mess in campus. Sports and gym area and ghs outside campus. Yes there are various guards present outside campus to monitor and it's relatively safe.
