Remarks
Wanted to study Biotechnology but not give JEE as I was a Biology student and didn't want to give an entrance exam where you needed to study Mathematics. Vellore Institute of Technology was the next best option.
Course Curriculum Overview
The course curriculum was up to date and some professors were really good. However, one of the ways the course was marketed was that it was research-intensive but it wasn't. There were not many opportunities to work in labs before the final year because they needed to accommodate too many thesis students and Ph.D. scholars.
Placement Experience
Very few core companies came to recruit students of Biotechnology. Everyone who sat for placements did get placed but not even 10% were placed in Biotech companies. People got placed in software/ companies that required Biology teachers for online classes for coaching for entrance exams.
College Events
The extracurricular activities and fests were probably the best part of my college life. The diversity in the kind of clubs and chapters in the college was amazing and everyone could find something or the other that they could be a part of. The fests were large scale, 3-4 days long with more than 1000 events each, and well managed.
