Dr. D. Y. Patil Biotechnology and Bioinformatics Institute, Dr. D. Y. Patil Vidyapeeth

Admission: The teachers are really good at teaching, but they need to give us the exam schedule sooner. Getting it just a few days before is too last-minute. Some exams are tough, while others are easier. Having multiple exams on the same day for different subjects is stressful.

Placement: Lots of companies usually come to our college for placements, but because of Covid, a lot of seniors still haven't gotten jobs. So, we're in the dark about that. Our college does offer internships, but it seems like recruiters like outside internships more than the ones offered in-house.

Campus: The library here is awesome, and they have Wi-Fi. The labs are cool for undergrad but not so great for PhD and postgrad students. The classrooms are high-tech with nice stuff, and there's an elevator on every floor. They're still building 3-4 more floors, so we'll get to use them around March or April.

Admission: The teachers here have Ph.D.s and know their stuff well. The course material matches what's needed in the real world. But it's tough for students to find jobs after finishing. Most end up looking on their own or thinking about going abroad, which isn't possible for everyone.

Placement: I took this new course and the placements were not great at first. Biocell in Hyderabad hired most of us. But now, things are looking up. About 25% of us got jobs in Hyderabad. We mostly got roles as research trainees or junior researchers. Some of us even chose to go abroad for further studies.

Campus: The college has really good facilities like hostels for first and second-year students. They also have a well-equipped lab and library. The food in the mess is decent with a good variety. You get four meals a day. There's no medical facility on campus, but they have basic services. If there's an emergency, they take you to Pimpri Dy. Patil hospital.

Admission: The teachers here are super knowledgeable and helpful. They really know their stuff. The classes are practical and help us get ready for real jobs. We learn about stuff like quality control, business communication, and starting our own businesses. Exams aren't too tough either.

Placement: A lot of students go for higher studies, but not many apply for jobs in this course. The salary package usually falls between 3 to 4 LPA. Students land jobs in biotech and pharma companies like Lupin, Serum Institute of India, and others. If you're into money, maybe this sector isn't for you. Biotech and pharma companies in India are kinda behind compared to the USA. IT companies are a better bet since this course is more popular abroad and only been around for 5-10 years.

Campus: The classrooms are kept clean and tidy. The lab is awesome too. There are cool research centers like Microbial Diversity and Cancer Research where we can intern during summer. We have a digital library and a regular library on campus. The boys' hostel is being built, but the girls' hostel is pretty good. Plus, we've got a gym here too.

Admission: The course is great because it focuses more on practicals than theory. This helps improve our lab skills a lot. They even have special classes for students who need extra help. The teachers are really nice and always ready to support us.

Placement: The placements at our college are great. Big companies come to hire students. A lot of us get to do research projects too. There are cool chances to work in the drug field. They even help with internships for students who want to go abroad.

Campus: The campus is pretty small, but we have lots of labs with top-notch safety. They use really cool machines there. We can study MBA, BBA, PGDM, catering, HM, and design. Oh, and there's a cafeteria too! The campus has a nice vibe, and there's even a gym for us to use.

Admission: The teachers here are great. They teach us stuff that actually makes sense. The exams each semester are pretty straightforward too.

Placement: Most students in our college got jobs after graduating. The top salary offered is 10 lakhs per year. On average, students make 5 lakhs per year. The lowest salary is 3 lakhs per year. We also have chances for internships here.

Campus: The college's infrastructure is just okay. Our campus is pretty small, and there's no playground here. We have to book a turf outside if we want to play. The hostel's infrastructure is good, but the food in the mess isn't that great. Also, the water facility could be better.

Admission: The teachers were really experienced, all with Ph.Ds. They were helpful, but the teaching was just okay. The course content needs work - it's not good enough. It should be updated to prepare us better for jobs.

Placement: Only 30% of us landed jobs at Omics International. None of us got hired by any other company. Most of us got packages ranging from 2 to 3 Lacs. A few classmates scored internships at Serum, Lupin, and Intas through their own contacts the college didn't assist at all. No high-level positions were available. Around half of us managed to secure internships.

Campus: Our college has 21 different labs with lots of cool gadgets. The library is huge and has all kinds of books. The classrooms are big and airy. The hostel rooms are nice. The food in the mess wasn't so good, though. A doctor would come every Wednesday for checkups. We only had table tennis for sports.

Admission: The teachers at our college were really good and made us want to go after our dreams. They encouraged us to take chances. The classes cover a lot of different areas in biology and biotech. It gets you ready for jobs and for going further with your studies. Our school focuses more on getting ready for higher studies than on getting jobs in the industry.

Placement: Around 10-15% of us found jobs after college. The pay is about Rs. 25,000 a month on average. I'm not sure about the top companies that hire from our college. Some roles students get are research analyst or data analyst. I don't know much about placements, but maybe around 20% of students get placed. A bunch of students go for higher studies like masters or PhDs worldwide. Companies like Serum Institute of India offer internships to students. Some students do find jobs after they graduate.

Campus: The classrooms and library are good at our college, but there's no Wi-Fi. The library and computer labs aren't open 24/7, and we can't access the computer labs whenever we want. The hostel sometimes has water shortages, and the cleaning staff go on strikes often. There aren't enough rooms in the hostel for all the students.

Admission: The teachers here are super smart and always ready to help. They never turn down a student in need. The courses and subjects are well-organized and top-notch. If you're committed and up for a challenge, this college program is the way to go.

Placement: After finishing the course, most students landed jobs in labs or companies. I studied RESEARCH, marketing, and quality control. Medtronics is a big company that hires lots of students with good pay.

Campus: The hostel offers rooms for 2 or 3 people to share. The campus has everything you need like a cafeteria, Wi-Fi, sports fields, and medical help. The library is massive and has lots of computers and books. The computer lab has all the software and online books you'll ever need already installed.

Admission: The exams aren't too tough, and the teachers are decent, mostly good. They're good at teaching, so I don't have any complaints. Some teachers are a bit strict, but most of them are friendly and teach well. There are a few teachers who know their stuff but struggle to teach effectively.

Placement: Before Covid hit, the placements were pretty good here. But things have slowed down a bit since the pandemic. I'm not too worried though. I'm confident that by the time I finish my studies, the placements will pick up again. Looking forward to seeing how things go this year!

Campus: The hostel and college here are pretty good. The hostel has awesome infrastructure, and the food and cleaning are top-notch. The college is just okay, but it's always clean and tidy. The labs have really good instruments too.

Admission: The staff and teachers here are super qualified in their fields. They're really helpful and even give advice on careers. The course covers everything in biotech, which is awesome.

Placement: Not many students wanted jobs right after graduation. The college placements were okay, with salary packages around 2-3 LPA. Everyone got internships and landed placements at well-known research institutes.

Campus: The college has a great infrastructure with top-notch labs. Hostel, mess, and canteen facilities are good. There are also spaces for indoor and outdoor games, which is cool. They really push students to get involved in sports.
