Amity University Kolkata, B.Sc {Hons.}, Biotechnology

Reviewed on Jul 4, 2020

Remarks

I always had the opinion that Biotechnology will be the next big thing in India. And I always loved the subject. There are hardly a few institutions in India which teach Biotechnology. And getting into an IIT was not a piece of cake for me. Amity is mainly known for it's Biotechnology courses and this is one of the main reasons why I took admission in this college

Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

Course syllabus was quite updated. We are taught with almost all the latest instruments and gadgets. The labs are also well furnished and well occupied. Talking of industrial exposure, no there wasn't much industrial exposure that were provided. Due to time constraints and due to some problems. Faculties are well to do, though not all the faculty members. But most of them are quite knowledgeable in their respective courses.

Class Size: 60Course Fees: INR 800000 per year

Internships Opportunities

Yes. I had got an internship from Institute of Genetic Engineering, Kolkata. As I am from the Biotechnology department, I loved to do an internship on Biotechnology. And I got a medicine biotech internship on Thalassemia. They did not provide any stipend but the knowledge that I gained was probably one of the best for me.

Placement Experience

3.5

As I have mentioned this is a new University. And so it's just started to grow. But still we are getting a number of companies like Byju's, TCS, Deloitt, Wipro, Nestle, Hindustan times and many other offers from reputed companies. The placement department is also doing a great job in bringing the companies for the placement.

College Events

Campus life and events are up to the mark. We have our Annual fest every year which saw participation of a number of colleges and students. Also we have the Amity Annu Sports meet every year, which also saw huge participating from colleges across West Bengal and India.

Fees and Financial Aid

No I haven't availed any loan. But there are options as I know. Either the college provides them or you need to contact your bank for that. But college helps in every way they can so that you can ava the loan.

Campus Life

Campus infrastructure is growing day by day. This University is just 5 years old. And so it is still growing. We have got a huge academic building, separate boys and girls hostel, 3 cafeterias, 1 large library, sports room, indoor football playing area, swimming pool and a number of other things. Labs are well established with almost all the things that we need available there. The only drawback is that the cafeterias provide you vegetarian food.

Hostel Facilities

3.5

No I haven't opted for hostel. Though the hostel provides great infrastructure and comfy beds and comfort, still the price is way too high. There are a number of PGs and room rentals available around the University. Just 10-15 mins by a bus or auto. And you can opt from them. Their price is very much nominal, ranging from 5-9k per month for a single room stay. And also you get your own freedom

Hostel Fee: INR 100000 per year

NOT RECOMMENDED

Likes

Campus is nice. There's greenery and all
SOME of the faculties are really good and those said teachers will actually look out for you and care
Mentors are appointed for each students who are responsible for their final year project, publications and LORs. If you are lucky, you'll get a good mentor.

Dislikes

Classrooms are less compared to the number of students. Students have to wander around the building after each classes to find seats. Classrooms are very dirty
There's literally NOTHING in the labs. Experiments take way long to prepare and perform because reagents and equipments are never available.
Hardly a 2 week summer break (because of MAKAUT). Students cannot even apply to good internships because no lab would take in external students in july or august.

Placement Experience:

People who major in my department usually opt for masters over placement not because of this college but because overall industrial or academic opportunities are better with a pg degree. Masters from this college is not recommended as i have heard so from my seniors. Some of my seniors managed to crack competitives and secure MSc seats at great places. Training and Placement cell had a good coordinator previously but now its almost non existent. Companies do come and hire Bpharm, Mpharm and MSc candidates. Packages are below average. Only Nestle pays well. But if you do well you'll eventually climb up the corportate ladder. From the time i am here i have not heard of any BSc candidate getting placed. Most go for higher studies.

Good enough

Likes

The faculty members are knowledgeable and supportive. Most teachers explain concepts clearly and are approachable after class for doubts and guidance, which helps a lot during exams.
The college has a disciplined academic environment with regular classes and practical sessions. Laboratories are functional and help students understand concepts through hands-on learning.
The campus environment is calm and student-friendly. Various seminars, cultural programs, and academic activities help in overall personality development.

Dislikes

Industry exposure and internship guidance are minimal, which could be improved to make students more job-ready after graduation.
Infrastructure can be improved, especially classrooms and laboratory equipment. Some facilities feel outdated and require modernization.
Placement opportunities for BSc students are limited. The college focuses more on academics, so students need to prepare for higher studies or competitive exams on their own.

Placement Experience:

The average package offered for such roles ranges between ?2–3 LPA, while the highest package offered to a BSc student is around ?4 LPA, depending on skills and specialization. Overall, around 15–20% of BSc students get placed through campus drives, and many students rely on off-campus opportunities.

Likes

I like the campus , it is quite huge and green , the canteen has both cooked and packed food available, a seperate common room for students and many sports equipment available. Several functions are arranged along with international conferences held
All the faculty members are soft spoken , knowledgeable and friendly, it is easy to find help regarding anything.
Professors are strict about their syllabus and subjects , paying proper attention to the students. Practicals classes are conducted without fail.

Dislikes

There is nothing as such that I disliked because I am a first year student so I haven't been so much involved yet , I think that the washrooms should be cleaned properly to maintain the hygiene apart from thjs everything is fine.

Course Curriculum Overview:

Subjects offered in the college as well as the minor and idc subjects are well adhered to the curriculum and future aspects. The subject combinations are apt and futuristic. It moderately prepares one for real world situations.

Reasons to not apply for NSHM Knowledge Campus

Likes

The admission process was very smooth, the administration board is very helpful.
The library is huge and the content of books is very good
College life and fests are good but not great

Dislikes

Placements are absolutely bogus. There were almost no good placements when i passed out part of it can be blamed on covid but mostly the college was largely at fault
Faculty was not upto the mark in regards to the hefty college fees we were charged
Even during covid online classes we were charged full fee which is again absolutely horrendous

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course curriculum was well thought out as per me but there were subjects that i found absolutely unnecessary. Subjects like history evs and clc were in no way related to my course. Coming to the main subjects Design, Printing, Photography and film and Media Training were absolutely necessary for my course and whilst the faculty for some of these subjects were really bad, some were good. It is also important to mention none of these subjects actually helped us prepare for the real world. Instead internships and freelance helped us more than these subjects could ever do. Exams were held bi monthly to keep track of what we learnt and every 6 months we had our semester exams. Overall if you want to be a media professional INTERNSHIPS AND JOBS WILL HELP YOU MORE THAN A COLLEGE WILL. I am biased on this opinion as my college didnt provide me with the correct guidance and support i needed to make it in the real world.

Our college doesn't provide hostel facilities
Our college doesn't provide campus requirement drive

Course Curriculum Overview:

* It's all about practical knowledge, we are getting from this course and another aspect is if you wants to make your career in research or lecturer then you should go for it. *No changes required in teaching methods but if college will provide hostel facilities and campus requirement drive, then it will better for candidates.

Truth from an amity student

I got accepted to all private colleges which had psychology but I chose amity because they give you the freedom and to some people it might feel that amity is a fashion show but no, our hoi is very strict about it The campus is very spacious but climbing so many stairs without lift is VERY HARD. if only they could fix that I think everything would have been fine. The admission process for me was really easy and in the first classes a lot of students couldn't do their registrations but the teachers helped out a lot....Read More

Amity University, Kolkata from a btech biotechnology

I didn't apply for any other colleges though I thought of Adamas and Heritage. But I got to know since the last few years only marketing placements are being provided by the other colleges which I wouldn't prefer in future being a btech biotechnology student. Amity has better opportunities and placements which I heard from my friends who were already studying. I was a dropper student and I didn't want to take one year of risk so J got into this college for partial drop so that even If I don't get , I would still have a good opportunity . Online forms need to get filled for admission and then there's a video upload interview type session which they take through a link....Read More
