Remarks
The college has a lot of scope for improvement in terms of infrastructure and better faculty. My experience in the college was good overall.
Entrance Preview
There is no entrance exam for M.Sc in Biotechnology. Admission is solely based on Graduation marks.
Course Curriculum Overview
The structure of the course is as per the Mumbai University as the syllabus is provided by them. However, the extra resources that a college should provide was lacking here. The proper guidance for future prospects was not given very well. As far as M.Sc is concerned, the field is only research oriented so one has to be constantly updated and the college should equally contribute to it. But that contribution is a little lacking here.
Internships Opportunities
No, the college does not provide any internship. However, they help out in finding an internship outside.
Placement Experience
The college does not provide any kind of placement. The students have to find a job on their own. The faculty will only guide you. The job opportunities after doing M.Sc are there but then the pay is not really that great. This is kind of demotivating and hence people tend to change their career path.
College Events
The college events are really good. Each department has their own festival and also there is an overall college fest. The level of college fests is quite good, it is very entertaining and the number of students coming in for the fests is also high. This college is well-known for its status as they have Bollywood celebrities coming every here during festivals.
Fee Structure And Facilities
The fees of M.Sc Biotechnology is noticeably high everywhere as it is a research oriented course so the expenses of the laboratory, its instruments and maintenance has to be beared by the college. The fees here was between 30k - 40k per year. This is slightly expensive. There are other colleges were the fees is lesser than this.
Fees and Financial Aid
I do not have any have idea about this as I did not take any. There must be some provision for scholarship by the college but there is no loan facility provided by the college for sure.
Campus Life
There are competitions going on in college for most of the courses. For M.Sc students there are only fests. Also, M.Sc students do not get as much time as they have to be in the laboratory most of times and slog. The gender ratio was good in college. The college environment is also peaceful. Not much politics happening.
Hostel Facilities
The college does not provide hostel facilities. The students have to find accommodation on their own outside college. The canteen of the college is bad. The food served is very average. Very few items are available here. The price of the food is low.
Alumni/Alumna
The college seniors were very supportive and co-operative. M.Sc students have to do an internship as part of the curriculum from outside the college. Finding this internship is really a task but our seniors did help us out in all the possible ways. So that way the seniors were pretty helpful.
Exam Structure
The Exams and practicals were conducted on time and properly. But the instruments are not really upto the mark. M.Sc students have to spend a lot of time in laboratory so yes sometimes it gets hectic. Most of the times the students are engaged in completing journals, making presentations, reading research papers etc.
Admission
The students have to fill the application form and submit. After 1-2 weeks the college puts up upto 2 merit lists depending on the availability of seats. If the student's name is on the merit list he/she can pay fees and take admission in a day or two.
Faculty
Overall the faculty is decent. Some professors are really very good in terms of knowledge as well as student-teacher rapport. They would help help whenever required sometimes even at odd timings. On the other hand, some professors are very careless and do not do their job well.
