B.Sc. in Chemistry
Reviewed On 7 Dec, 2025
Admission: The teachers here are really great. They know their stuff. I feel lucky to be learning from them. Exams are out of 100 marks, you need at least 40 to pass. The test was kinda tough but fair. Most people pass with over 85%.
Placement: I studied M.Sc. at another college before coming here to the same university. Placement wasn't a big deal for us because we all wanted to do our Master's. Some friends even went on to do Ph.D. After finishing my Master's, some friends found jobs as Lab Technicians, while others studied for TNPSC exams. A few even got selected for Pc.
Campus: The Chemistry department has awesome teachers who know their stuff. We've got NMR spectroscopy and other cool tools. The hostel used to be just okay, but I've heard it's way nicer now. They serve only vegetarian food on campus no non-veg allowed.

Admission: The course curriculum is good and gives us enough time to study for exams. It's easy to get ready for exams. But the fees for the civil course are too high and not really worth it.
Placement: Our college offers placements for MBA students, but not for other courses. Students can also find job opportunities outside of campus with the help of the college.
Campus: The hostel has decent food and rooms for students, but they only serve vegetarian food. We can't bring food from outside. The sports teams are okay, but there's not enough training.

Admission: The teachers at Gandhigram Rural Institute are really good and helpful. They explain things well and are always there to help with any questions. In my department, they are super friendly and really care about students. We can choose our subjects and there are regular tests in class. There are 14 faculty members in our department who are always around. The syllabus is top-notch, better than anywhere else I've seen. I went on an industrial visit once during my undergrad here. The department library has all the books and materials we need.
Placement: The job placements at The Gandhigram Rural Institute are okay. Around half to sixty percent of students get jobs each year. Last year, out of 70 students, 40 got placed in chemical companies. They offer a starting salary of Rs. 15,000 for everyone who gets a job. ICICI bank also came for placements last year. Students with 90% or higher in their undergrad get a stipend, decided by the department head.
Campus: The campus at Gandhigram Rural Institute is pretty cool. We get Wi-Fi access for our studies and there's a big library for everyone. Each department even has its own library. Plus, there's a nice sports ground for games like cricket, badminton, and more. We've got two canteens with cheap food and three stores for supplies. In my department, we have smart classrooms for seminars. The hostel rooms are nice too, fitting 5 to 8 students in one room. I've heard the food in the hostel is good, but I'm a day student so I haven't tried it myself.

Admission: The professors and lecturers here are really good. They've been teaching for a long time, like 20 years! It's cool that they keep updating the courses every 3 years to match the latest tech stuff. And every 5 years, they switch up the dean. It's a strong point of this university.
Placement: The college has great job offers from agro-based companies. The teaching and hands-on learning are really good at Gandhiyan University. I think everyone will get a job after studying here. So, no worries about placements. I highly recommend applying to Gandhiyan Rural Institute.
Campus: The college has good infrastructure with nice air-conditioned classrooms. The campus has Wi-Fi with fast internet. The hostel rooms are not great, but the auditorium is huge. Water supply is good too. It's a basic setup, but they're planning to upgrade by 2023. So, hopefully it'll get better.

Placement: About 7-8% of students in our course get placed. IT companies such as TCS and banks like Repco Bank come to campus for placements.
Campus: I really liked staying at the hostel. They serve healthy food, which is great. The hostel fee is Rs.2,000 a month, which is reasonable. However, the water facilities are lacking. The library is awesome for studying because they have free computers and Wi-Fi. It's a good place to focus and get work done.

Admission: The teachers are really smart and super helpful. They take time to explain things if you don't get it. I like that most of them have high degrees because they know what they're talking about. We learn a lot of useful stuff like problem-solving and critical thinking in our classes. We have exams at the end of each term and some smaller tests too. Classes have around 56 students in them. The course costs around INR 22,500 a year.
Placement: When I was in my second-to-last semester, I got the chance to apply for placement. For me, that was the seventh semester. But for some other students, like those in the master's program, they could start as early as the third semester. Big companies like Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and others were there to hire us. Google and Microsoft usually took around 5-10 students each, while finance giants like Goldman Sachs could take even more - like 10-15 students. The highest salary offered was 24 LPA, while the average was 4 LPA. It was a pretty good opportunity for us students to kickstart our careers.
Campus: The rooms have everything you need like power, water, and internet. There are study rooms, chill lounges, and laundry places to hang out. Some rooms have bathrooms, or there's shared ones on each floor. The food cooked in the dining hall is tasty, they serve four meals every day. The food spots are cool too. The hostel isn't too expensive. To sign up, just go to the college website and fill in your info and pay a fee.
