What Students Say
Likes
- To start with the review, the major difference I observed in NFSU in comparison with other universities was it way of curriculum. The students are encouraged to gain more experience through practical knowledge rather than theoretical lectures.
- While they conduct classes, the knowledge you gain through practical work is far more advanced. There are a wide range of analytical instrumental methods available which makes it so much easier to gain much more research experience.
- I also really love the infrastructure of the campus.
Dislikes
- While the faculty and professor are very good at their respective subjects, they could improve with their placement strategies for students.
Course Curriculum Overview
The curriculum of my course is specifically made to look at the field of food technology in the direction of forensic science making it unique. The course comes with a specialisation of forensic food analysis which prepares us to bring the world safer food. With the availability and hands on training of analytical instruments, the curriculum prepares the students better for real-time applications and makes it more interesting to dvelve into the field of research. Exams are conducted regularly which include all kinds of activities rather than just the theoretical writing. The difficulty level of examinations in my experience is significantly moderate. 4 sets of examinations are conducted per semester including the end semester examination.
Internships Opportunities
Students were placed as internship in various companies like mondelez, amul, zydus, Varun beverages, Balaji foods, etc. Students were are given opportunity to work in research in the various institutions like oit gandhinagar. Students were also offered internship in the directorate of forensic science hence giving the students and opportunity to explore the real life cases.
Fees and Financial Aid
I am general category student with no reservation and hence couldn't avail any kind of financial aid or scholarship but students with difficulty are offered scholarships based on the merit of the entrance examination or their previous scores. The merit and reservation based scholarship covers all the tution fees of the students. The total fees I paid was an approximate of 220000 for 2 years. The faculty try to provide internship to students with stipend.
