National Centre for Cell Science Pune, Ph.D Modern Biology

Reviewed on Jun 11, 2020

Course Curriculum Overview

You need hard work to get through this with flying colours! It is an eminent institution and for three years, your nose will be to the grindstone! Three years packed with research, viva and innumerable papers to study and write.

Placement Experience

Several Opportunities! It is the leading institution of its kind in the country and top labs across the country will come over to recruit you!Besides that, we also get offers for post-doctoral fellowships from leading institutions of the world.

Fee Structure And Facilities

Considering the fact that it is a private institute, the tuition fee is quite affordable- only Rs 55,000 for 3 years, payable annually. And all this despite the fact that we avail of top-notch facilities and unlimited resources!

Campus Life

Since the only degree offered is Ph.D in Modern Biology and most students here are thorough academicians, we don't get much scope to take part in extracurricular activities. Besides that, the labs are fantastic, with all equipment you may possibly need.

Alumni/Alumna

The alumni network is great in college! So many of our seniors are doing research at top universities in US and Europe. Our senior Navjot Kaur works at Yale Labs and Sunil Martin is doing research at U.Penn!

Admission

Biology has fascinated me right from when I was in middle school- especially the cell and its structure! Imagine my joy at being selected at this premiere institute for cell studies! I applied on the basis of my post-grad score and got selected after an interview.

Faculty

The faculty at National Centre for Cell Science are all renowned scientists in their own right, with decades of research and teaching between them! They help you clear fact and guide you through advanced research.

SDA Bocconi Asia Center, IMB ( International Masters in Business)

Reviewed on May 3, 2020

Remarks:

I had honestly applied in only a selected number of colleges, as I was doing really well in my coaching and was always among the top 2. Since, I was expecting a lot from myself, it created performance pressure and I went blank during the actual CAT examination. So SDA bocconi was among the top 2 options that I had. It is less than a decade old and has still managed to provide good placements. The most fascinating part is the entire semester in Bocconi,Milan which is the 21st best college in the world and 7th in Europe. I also spoke to many aluminis and hardly got to hear anything that will stop me from taking admission in SDA bocconi. Plus, the advantage of the college being in a city like Mumbai has it's own advantages.

Remarks:

College management is highly supportive of student needs. The management listens to student issues and tries to solve it with proper thinking and strategy. The college and the composition, though is extremely dynamic and diverse, students live together peacefully in harmony, supporting and helping each other whenever needed. Though being it's initial stages of setup, the college faces certain issues with placements and internships, but slowly with every batchs learnings, these are also being cured. This ensures that students are always on their toes and ready to take on challenges.
