Dairy Technology is a course not known to many. Though milk and dairy products is a common part of Indian culture yet many are unaware that such courses exists. So, I was intrigued to know what this 4 year course had to offer, thus I chose this over other. The college has a satisfactory faculty: student ratio of 1:30 . Other than the campus, the highlight of the Institute is it's faculty team, consisting of highly experienced and well qualified scientists, and Ph. D scholars who have a strong profile among all the major dairy institutes of India. As each semester is of six months, so the Mid terms are held in the third month, which range from 20-30 marks depending on the subject, usually it is objective and hardly subjective. The end term is at the end of each semester, which consists of 70 marks theory and 30 marks practical. If one studies properly, it's not at all difficult to pass the exams, as most of the questions are repeated.

Internships are offered by Mother Dairy, Verka, SnowCap etc. Roles offered are Assistant trainee. Basically the students need to assist in the production and packaging of the products in the plant/industry.

From 4th semester, students are eligible for placement. Companies like Amul, Nestle, Mother Dairy, Britannia visit the college. Usually all the students are placed, unless the student aims to study further. Percentage of student getting placed is 95% .Highest package-1 Lakh , Average package-75000. I have planned to pursue my masters after completing my current degree.

It is very affordable college to study in. As it is a deemed university, so the fees are kept low. Each semester cost at the most 5000-6000. Scholarship is provided to students who come to study from other states, except North East. On campus placement is very strong and trust worthy. Almost all the students get placed in major food and dairy company like Amul, Nestle, Mother Dairy etc.
