KIIT University offers a robust 2-year MSc Biotechnology program, requiring admission through an annual entrance exam. The faculty comprises experienced professionals from prestigious institutions, fostering a supportive research environment. The tuition fee is Rs. 97,000 per semester, with a hostel fee of around Rs. 30,000 per year, plus examination costs, making the program costly for an average family. Foreign students can benefit from a 100% scholarship covering tuition and hostel fees. The total cost for the degree, including hostel and mess fees, is approximately Rs. 6 lakh.

Upon admission, students must pay a Rs. 75,000 deposit, which includes a non-returnable fee for a laptop. Placement opportunities are strong, particularly in biotechnology and microbiology, with over 30 companies, such as Nestle and Virchow Biotech, participating annually. The placement process involves exams and interviews, securing about 90% of students with jobs. The highest salary package is Rs. 4.8 lakh per annum, and the average is Rs. 3 lakh per annum. KIIT TBI and research labs offer internships and project work.

The university provides scholarships to top performers and assists with educational loans, although it does not directly offer them. The placement focus is encouraged to shift towards wet lab-based roles over sales and marketing for better alignment with students' skills and interests.

Study culture, course curriculum and classroom environment

Fees and Financial Aid:

Tution fees is ok... Rather higher than other universities. Total cost including hostel fees, mess fees and course fees is approx - 6 lakh for 2 years Yes i have selected for various company but as i was not interested for Bioinformatics and sales jobs so i didn't joined those... College should increase the wet lab based company placement rather than sales and marketing for biotechnology students.

M.Sc. Biotechnology at KIIT

Dislikes

fees is quite high for M.Sc. in Biotechnology and Applied microbiology

According to me the only thing which I did not like about the institute was their high fees. The charges for M.Sc Biotechnology or any other courses are quite high. I almost spent more than 5 lacs on my Master's over two years that too in online mode. after getting admission mail, you need to deposit 75000 rs as a counseling fee. out of which 10000 is counseling fees and the remaining 65000 is for laptop. The university provided me with an HP ProBook laptop. They do not take it back. They provide placements for Biotech students that's a very positive thing that convinced me to enroll myself for a master's but I did not go for campus placement because I wanted to go for higher studies. highest placement from my batch was 4,80,000 per annum.

Go to KIIT, Secure your future

Fees for M.Sc. biotechnology - 97000 per semester. Exam registration fee - 1000 No extra fees. Foreign students may get 100% scholarship. So they don't have to pay any tuition fees and also the hostel fees .

Best University in Eastern India

There is a scholarship available for student who came 1st in the semester exam and they also give loans for student. For that you have to go throughout the policy of the University. They have a own bank in University so you can talk with them and think about that.

Best deemed University

If you are topper in class's then you will get scholarship. College give fee structure and other documents for your education loan and they will guid for education loan. But they won't provide education loan.

The entrance exam was quite easy.

You will be provided with a form for loan, at start from college. The forms are provided during the admission time itself. The forms are provided with proper information and about the fee structures and it's rough idea.
