Amrita School of Biotechnology, Amritapuri Reviews on Infrastructure, Campus, Placement, Facilities & Faculty

It was good experience studying here in terms of facilities. We had good computers and lab equipment with paid access to software tools. The library and computer lab were kept open late into evening always. I stayed in the new hostel complex which was very spacious and food provided in the mess was just about ok.

I was doing my masters in bioinformatics which was a relatively new course at the time. We had on site faculties and some who connected from abroad for live sessions online as well. Teaching quality was good. The syllabus was very job oriented.

Bioinformatics department had some placements from Information technology companies. The packages offered to us ranged from around 3.5 - 4.8 LPA at the time. It was quite a good experience to attend the interviews and the management was supportive.

The fees was not very high when I started studying there since my course was still relatively newly introduced. We were one of the earliest batches. The cost was high compared to my previous college but I feel it was worth it since the quality of teaching was really good.

The campus is located close to the beach side so it is very calm and quiet. The locals are quite friendly and I feel it was safe. We had two international conferences held there and some tech fests. We got chance to interact with some famous scientists during this time.

I feel it was good choice for me.

The hostels are kind of average and the food is pure vegetarian. The campus has good infrastructure overall but the student internet has a lot of restrictions which can get annoying after a while. The place is well maintained.

The teachers are extremely learned and do teach very well. The syllabus is very deep and covers a lot of topics not usually seen in UG in other colleges. They put a lot of emphasis on software skills too which is a bonus.

There was a severe lack of placement options for both UG and PG students. I think this is the biggest letdown of studying there and it is really disappointing because their academics is actually really good.

I think that the lackluster campus life and there being no placement programs for the students makes it feel very not so value for money. The course is quite expensive compared to other South Indian colleges but the academics is really good here.

Too many unnecessary restrictions are put on students, particularly the female students. The staff can be quite rude at times and it can feel very frustrating to deal with them. The campus itself is very calm and quiet. There are some cultural events and conferences held from there time to time.

Campus had internet connectivity in most places. Labs were well equipped with all required instruments for experiments. The library was a nice place to study in peace. The place was maintained quite well.

I was doing my masters in biotechnology. The professors were quite fine and approachable for the most part. They always helped out with doubts readily. Curriculum was quite tough but covered a lot of topics. I did not find it particularly interesting.

This was my biggest issue with this college. They provided absolutely no placement assistance and it was very disappointing because of how much they advertise online about their record. I found myself without a job for several months post completion of the course.

It was extremely expensive when factoring in the college and hostel expenses. I don't find it worth it at all considering how there was no placement assistance, the unreasonable restrictions imposed on girls and the not so nice food in hostels.

I did not enjoy the campus experience at all. The wardens in hostels were far too intrusive and there was really no privacy. The food was definitely not good and the location was quite remote. The only nice thing was that the campus was calm and quiet.

Regret going there.

The campus had all the facilities in terms of instruments and internet. The library had a good collection of academic books and the college premises were clean. Food was not to my liking since it was pure vegetarian and quite bland.

The quality of teaching was top notch and the coursework was quite good since it covered a lot of important topics that we needed to prepare for entrance exams for masters programs. The faculty were approachable at all times.

There was no placement program at the college for my course. It was an undergraduate program and just a stepping stone towards preparing for Masters and so it did not matter much to me. I found the coursework relevant in my current career.

The cost was on the higher side but it was worth the cost in terms of academics on offer. I liked the quality of education and how research oriented the program was. The professors were quite experienced and always nice to me.

The hostel experience was not great. The campus itself is quite beautiful and calm. There are a lot of unnecessary restrictions imposed on students that dulls the overall experience. The place is safe and well equipped to handle emergency situations.

I have some fond memories of this place.

The infrastructure is great and the labs have all the necessary equipment for life science programs. There is high speed internet on campus and sports and library facilities are excellent. The hostels need to be more spacious and food is purely vegetarian which is a bit disappointing.

The academics is the highlight of this place. The faculty have a lot of industry experience and are quite approachable. The curriculum is tough and extensive but totally worth the long hours. We get a lot of skills that make us job ready.

There are no placement opportunities provided and this is the downside of this college. There is a lot of focus on academic excellence but not enough support given to showcase the knowledge gained and build a career. The professors do help out in providing recommendation letters when required.

It is very expensive to study here and I would only recommend it to people who have money to spend and are serious about their academics. It is not a place to enjoy your college life since there are a lot of restrictions on students.

The campus is in a scenic but remote location. It is quite safe since there are anti ragging measures in place and staff to step in to help in emergency situations. They maintain the place very well. But the hostels can be improved.

Expensive option

The lab facilities and equipment is satisfactory. Classrooms are provided with a projector, desk and benches. There is a library containing all the necessary books, current journals. There is also an area for indoor recreation. Everything is maintained in a fine way.

I am a student currently pursuing Master's in Biotechnology. The academics is properly planned and carried out and is balanced along with invited speakers giving lectures andv seminars about the current research.

Most of the students mainly focus on research and the placement rate is less. Very few companies come for recruitment of students. I have not attended any placements so far but as per the opinion of seniors, the pay is relatively less. The college is very much supportive and helpful in everything.

The tuition fees is around ₹70,000 per semester which is quite expensive. If we work hard, then the fees is worth the money.

There are extracurricular and academic activities where students can freely showcase their talents. Sports, literary events, debates are held. The college also celebrates festivals of India with all zeal. The faculties and other laboratory staffs are very friendly and helpful. The location is fine and the college has a infrastructure and emergency facilities prepared readily itself.
