The B.Tech Biotechnology program at Dr. MGR Educational and Research Institute features a faculty-to-student ratio of 1:35, which is seen as insufficient. The semester exam structure comprises 3 internal tests and 1 main exam, with key questions provided in advance, leading to a low failure rate of about 10 students per class. Lab sessions have a better ratio of 2:60, with faculty in the biotechnology and chemical departments recognized for their supportiveness.
The program costs between five to six lakhs over four years, including tuition fees of 40,000 to 70,000 per semester, exam fees, and hostel fees.

The college holds annual campus interviews for final-year and third-year students, offering career development and interview training. These efforts result in successful placements, with a 100% job assurance rate, at companies like Google, IBM, and Infosys.
