Students with 80% or above in Class 12 gain direct admission into the B.Sc. Biotechnology program, while others must pass an entrance exam and interview. The faculty, consisting of 30 PhD or post-doctoral qualified members, maintains a 1:60 faculty-to-student ratio. The course curriculum is well-structured with 4 exams per year and around 90% of students passing due to supportive faculty. However, the strict attendance policy and occasional faculty bias are noted concerns.

The program's fee is Rs. 3,40,000 for 3 years, deemed high compared to other institutions. Scholarships are available for students with high academic performance, offering up to 100% tuition coverage. The college provides digital classrooms and a fully air-conditioned campus. Placement opportunities favor BTech over BSc students, with around 76-80% securing jobs at companies like Amazon and TCS, with average packages of 4-5 lakhs per annum. BSc students often need a master's degree for better placement prospects, although internships are available.

Internships begin in the 6th semester, mostly unpaid, with companies like Amazon and Flipkart. Approximately 89% of students secure internships based on performance, with companies such as Biocon and Cipla being major recruiters. The university supports students financially, offering aid for those in need, summer internships, and job placements for PhD programs. Total fees, including scholarships and additional costs, can range from 6 to 15 lakhs, depending on the program.

Truth from an amity student

Fees and Financial Aid:

The lifts DO NOT WORK but other than that all infrastructure is very nice. The students can be a little bad but the teachers are great and very understanding. Specially the psych department is very good.

Amity University Kolkata Experience

The fee was 63000 per semester and there is a hike in the fees every year. There is a scholarship available to meritious students who maintain a good CGPA. The college assists with summer internships for some students if they are unable to procure internships on their own, however, there are no placements after graduation.

It costs around 1 lakh per year. But if you are among the top 10 students then you get a 100% scholarship, and the top 5 students get a 50% scholarship. Many students got placements and most of them go for higher studies. The University provides financial support to students who are financially weak.

Amity University kolkata, good for Biotechnology

The fees structure for the first 2 semesters is around 58000 per sem. That is somewhat near to 1 lakh for a year. For the next 2 year, the fees get a hike to 60000 per sem in the second year and finally 64000 in the last 2 semester. Total money- 364000. Security deposit 20000. Bus fees- 20000 for 6 months. Hike in fees- 3.4% every year. (approx). If you get 85% in boards you will get a scholarship of 25% and on above 90% of marks the scholarship increases. You have to stay at top5 in every exam to carry on with your scholarship. If you failed to attain the top 5 once also you won't get the scholarship.

No I haven't availed any loan. But there are options as I know. Either the college provides them or you need to contact your bank for that. But college helps in every way they can so that you can ava the loan.

Course Curriculum Overview:

We have all the required facilities and since my course is biotechnology so I can only tell about my course. We have to study a lot, like every other place there is also some sort of competition but yes if you study well during your class then nothing is difficult. Teachers help us at every stage and even the seniors are helpful.
