Department of Atomic Energy Centre for Excellence in Basic Sciences Reviews & Ratings 2026 – Authentic Student Feedback

Admission: The teachers are pretty good here, but it really depends on who's teaching. Some professors are famous, others are just visiting. The courses are really useful and get you ready to do your own research. Everything is chill until the 6th semester, but then it starts to pick up speed in the 7th. It helps you get better at doing research too.

Placement: In our biology group, there were 9 of us. 3 students found fully funded research positions outside India. It all depends on what kind of position you're after. If you don't want to do a Ph.D., you can work as a research assistant in top labs worldwide. The internship happens in the 9th semester out of 10. We had opportunities for internships all over the world and also landed spots in famous research institutes in India.

Campus: The Wi-Fi, new hostel building (Takshashila), labs, and classrooms are all good. The rooms are clean, and there's a housekeeping service to keep them tidy. The rooms are shared, so living in the hostel is fun. The campus is well-maintained, and classes might start in the official buildings sooner than in the older units.

Admission: The teachers here are awesome! They really know their stuff and take good care of us. Exams are a breeze because they cover everything in class. It's hard to fail when you're so well-prepared. Big thanks to our teachers for getting us ready for the real world.

Placement: I did my Ph.D. at JBIMS, University of Mumbai. Lots of students got jobs about 92%. The highest salary was 38 LPA, and the lowest was 4 LPA. IBM, Cisco, and other big companies hire from here. I also had a chance to do an internship, like 85% of the students.

Campus: The campus has awesome facilities. They give us 24/7 free Wi-Fi in the hostel, and they clean the classrooms every day. The hostels and labs are always tidy and have everything we need. The food in the hostel mess is really good, especially during festivals. They also focus on sports, which is cool.
