IIT Hyderabad: Students' Opinion

AI-Generated Summary based on 1 Reviews

In 2015, a student gained entry into the PhD program in the Biotechnology Department at IIT Hyderabad after qualifying the GATE exam and passing an interview. The faculty at IIT Hyderabad are commended for their supportive and attentive nature, fostering a positive learning environment. The PhD program is financially manageable due to the stipend provided. However, the B.Tech program is costly as it lacks scholarships or stipends. M.Tech students receive a minimal stipend, which offers limited financial relief.

The department does not host core pharmaceutical or biotech companies for campus placements, but graduates have found employment at companies like HiMedia and Pfizer through individual applications. Internships can be arranged by contacting professors directly. PhD students can benefit from scholarships such as the GATE, CSIR NET, and DBT scholarships. Additionally, loans are available from YES Bank and AXIS Bank.
