Academics
I am studying Biotechnology as I was interested biology. I chose biotechnology as it has wide applications in areas such as vaccine development, industrial enzyme production, fermentation technology, bioinformatics, waste treatment and sustainable bioproducts. The field is continuously evolving and offers good scope for research, innovation and higher studies. Faculties explain concepts clearly with examples and practical relevance. We are given opportunities to perform laboratory experiments, mini-projects and seminars which improve our understanding. teachers help us during practicals, assignments and project work.Our curriculum is partially updated. It covers the fundamentals very well, such as
microbiology, genetic engineering, industrial biotechnology, enzyme technology, fermentation technology etc.
However, it can be improved by including more content on recent developments like
Advanced bioinformatics tools, CRISPR gene editing, Synthetic biology, Bioprocess automation, Industrial scale-up techniques etc. Yes the things which I am studying helps me to get a job ready.They teach us More industry-oriented practical training, Exposure to real laboratory instruments, Internship and industrial visits, Skill-based modules like data analysis, documentation and GMP practices.
College Infra
My college is very good at maintenance when it comes to infrastructure and the equipments. My college has like about 2 blocks and a tech park which has a very good infrastructure with AC. My classroom has a smart board with a pen and very large space for the desk to accommodate. The library in my college is very large and can accommodate upto 20 people or more. Each department has separate laboratories which is equipped with many instruments and machines. Especially my department has many machines and equipments. Sport centre has like 2-3 floors which is used for like dance in first floor and games in last floor. Hostels are very clean and hygienic and people love to be there.
Campus Life
Campus life in my college is generally pleasant and worth the experience, especially if you participate in activities, use the facilities, and engage with events. The environment is peaceful and suitable for focused study, though city access and some facilities might feel average to some. Location is slightly isolated from the city center. Cultural and technical events like Kalam, Velanthiruvizha, Onam, Annual Day, and Sports Day happen throughout the year. Students participate actively in clubs and competitions like Art club, dance club, singing clubs etc.
Placements
In my department, the placement quality has been encouraging. For biotechnology students, around 70–80% of the batch secured job offers through campus drives, and many others found opportunities through internships and off-campus opportunities. The highest package offered in my batch was about ₹ 12 lakh per annum for some big MNC companies and the average salary was approximately ₹1 lakh per annum. The placement process was well-structured and supported by our placement cell, who organized training sessions, mock interviews, and company interactions. Overall, I felt the process was pleasant and helped me sharpen my professional skills, and the college was generally supportive throughout.
Value For Money
My course cost 1 lakh 25 thousand plus bus fees so it was worth it as I am learning every bit of the companies and the industry which I am willing to get a job. It was quite a worth money to pay for my college.
