Academics
The academic experience at my college improved steadily over time. When I joined in 2021 for the B.Sc. Medical Biotechnology program, the course was newly introduced, and the academic setup was still developing. In the first semester, there were challenges such as limited library resources, insufficient lab equipment, and unstructured teaching methods, which made learning difficult initially.
However, the college gradually enhanced its academic facilities. By the end of the first year, the library was better equipped with relevant books, and laboratories had improved equipment, allowing for better practical exposure. Classrooms were upgraded with digital boards and Wi-Fi, making learning more interactive and effective.
The teaching quality also improved, with faculty focusing more on conceptual understanding and practical knowledge. This positively influenced students’ academic performance.
A major highlight was the final-year internship, which provided one year of hands-on experience, industry exposure, and support in completing academic projects.
College Infra
My college infrastructure was average when I joined in 2021, mainly because the B.Sc. Medical Biotechnology course was newly introduced. During the first semester, there were several challenges such as limited library books, insufficient lab equipment, and a lack of proper teaching facilities, which made the initial learning experience difficult.
However, the college gradually improved its infrastructure over time. By the end of the first year, the library was better equipped with relevant books, laboratories had improved facilities, and classrooms became more effective for learning with the introduction of digital boards and Wi-Fi access. These improvements helped enhance the overall academic experience.
The college canteen was also average, but the food was affordable for students, making it convenient for daily use.
Overall, despite a slow start, the college showed steady progress in infrastructure and learning facilities, which positively supported students in their academic journey.
Campus Life
Campus life in my college was quite strict and felt very restricted. Once students entered the campus, they were not allowed to leave until college timings were completed. If anyone needed to go out during college hours, permission had to be taken from the class in-charge, which sometimes felt inconvenient.The daily routine was mostly focused only on academics. Students attended classes continuously with very limited breaks, and there was no dedicated sports hour or recreational break. Most of the time was spent attending lessons, studying, and then going home. This routine remained almost the same throughout the entire graduation period, making campus life less engaging and somewhat monotonous.
In terms of extracurricular activities, the college had limited opportunities for students to relax and socialize. However, one positive aspect was the annual fest conducted once a year for around three days. This was one of the few occasions where students could actively participate in cultural events, enjoy activities, and take a break from the regular academic schedule.
Placements
The placement opportunities in my college for the B.Sc. Medical Biotechnology program were quite limited. Only around 10% of students were able to secure campus placements, which is relatively low compared to expectations. The salary packages offered were also on the lower side, ranging approximately between 1.5 to 2.9 LPA. This makes it challenging for students who are looking for immediate employment after graduation.
Despite the college making improvements in infrastructure and academic facilities, the placement support has not developed at the same pace. There were limited companies visiting the campus, and the opportunities were not sufficient for all eligible students. As a result, many students had to look for off-campus opportunities or pursue higher studies to improve their career prospects.The college does provide some guidance and support, but there is still a need for stronger industry connections and better placement training programs. Enhancing collaboration with biotech and pharmaceutical companies could significantly improve placement outcomes.
Value For Money
The fee structure in my college is relatively high, and I was not fully satisfied with it. This is mainly because, during the initial year (2021), the B.Sc. Medical Biotechnology course was newly introduced, and the facilities provided did not match the fees we were paying. In the first year, we faced several difficulties due to the lack of proper infrastructure, including limited library resources and insufficient laboratory facilities. This made the learning experience challenging and did not justify the cost of education at that time.Although the college gradually improved its infrastructure and academic facilities in the later years, the initial struggle still had a significant impact. Students expected better resources and support from the beginning, considering the high fees charged.
Another concern was the lack of government scholarship support for this course, as it was newly introduced. This added a financial burden on many students, making it difficult for those from economically weaker backgrounds.If the college can reconsider and reduce the fee structure, especially during the early phase of new courses, it would make the program more reasonable and accessible.
