Somaiya Vidyavihar University Mumbai Reviews on Placements, Faculty and Facilities

Curriculum is quite up to date and relevant considering the real world approaches as well as future academic studies. But the technologies used can be a bit more modern and in line with the current. Teaching methods could be improved too.

The ciriculum was designedin a way that we got to learn all the disciplines involved in biotechnolgy. This course prepared us for real world applications such as STEM, DNA Fingerprinting, PCR and other. Still there is scope of improvement to make students learn from advanced instruments rather than the basic ones.The frequency of exams were decent there were gaps of almost 4-5 months between every semester.

I love medical biology and microorganisms, this course provided me an opportunity to study these. The curriculum 60% prepares for the real world and 90% for further academic pursuits. Improvement in curriculum is more practical knowledge is required, teaching should be more of practical, exams are at proper imtervals

It was insightful with the course equally distributed in three years. We were provided with a lot of industrial visits exclusive of the fees paid. It was an honours degree so more credits were provided.

I always wanted to pursue computer science, but I was very confused since I always like medical as well, but the faculty at Somaiya help me recover and know that what I really like, and what I should really dive into so they help me make decision by then I should choose IT or CS and hopefully I am doing very good in computer science. There are many man faculty members that are ready to help you any time. The timings of exams are six months each. I recently had an exam in December and I'll be starting with my second semester. There is not many areas of improvement in the course curriculum and teaching methods, but it would be great if they provided with a prior syllabus note so that we can start with our preparation beforehand. Overall I just love how they treat us and how they make us feel good academically.

The course for biotechnology has been changed recently keeping in mind the relativity with the modern twchnology and changing world also the subjects are interesting and easy to grasp yet challenging to study

Aspects like certificate language course and the proffesional communication skills are one of the highlights. The curriculum prepares you really well it just need the right faculty to be useful and be of better understanding for the students. There is an extra subject like minor or constitution and public policy which really is just a waste of time for studies. And more fun teaching methods can be adopted rather than always sticking to the textbook. frequency of the exams is one exam of 20 marks in the middle of the semester and one at the end of the semester for 60 marks.

Form the 5th semester the students are allowed to sit for interviews that different company come up with. You are eligible if you pass the interwiew and you have no backlog KT in your result then you are eligible

My parents are already a ex somaiya student so obviously i have to go there Very well it prepares me for real world applications or for further academic pursuits I guess they must imrove with the timing of collage practicals

I subjects were all relevant to the course but mostly theory was focused rather than practicals which is more required in this particular field. It would have been great if practicals were more focused rathet than just theory
