Since the college I got admitted to is an IIT, I did give JEE Mains and Advanced examinations, after which I proceeded with the JoSSA counselling. I had other choices like IIT Kharagpur Econ and IIT Delhi Textile but I preferred IIT Kanpur because of the beautiful campus and the academics there, along with that there were factors like distance from my home and the placements. After a lot of thinking I came to mainly two choices IIT KGP and Kanpur but since KGP was offering a BS degree in Econ I chose IIT Kanpur for my B.Tech.
The course that I chose was among the top courses available in the nation and it doesn’t require much time per week so basically less commitment. The faculty was qualified but the teaching method used by most of the professors is boring which is a common thing in UG courses at IITs. The exams were quite easy, and per year we had two semesters that had mid-semester and end-semester exams along with a few quizzes. Since it’s a government college, the fee hike is not there and even if it’s there, it’s not that much. There are scholarships available for students depending on family income and other factors like the MCM scholarship.
I got an internship which was off-campus at Wise Finserv as an Analyst. On campus scene of internship is quite good, every year around 400 students get internships from 1200 students that sit in internship season. Companies like Janestreet offer as high as 30 lakhs for two months, and software companies like Oracle and Microsoft offer around 2 lakhs for 2 months then come to some core companies offering around 1 lakh for 2 months, other than this there are other benefits that vary from company to company.
Talking about this year, the placements took a hit due to the recession but otherwise the placements are good. Almost everyone gets placed by the end of phase 2 of placements. Just this time the number took a dip, around 70-80 percent students only got placed. Companies like JPMC, Google, Microsoft, JaneStreet, Alphagrep are common recruiters and recruit around 5-10 students every year and the number varies from company to company. The highest package is of Jane Street which is 5.5 Cr for quantitative trader and the average is around 26 lpa ctc. I got placed in Axxela so will be doing a job.
The campus life is different from the campus life of other college students, there are several clubs under the 3 councils MnC, GnS, and SnT. Approximately 15 clubs under each council and then comes the fests which are also 3, Antaragni, the cultural fest in October along with Udghosh, the sports fest in September, and Techkriti, the technical fest in March. Overall the vibe and environment are superb with a lot of activities and events taking place around the year like Dance Extravaganza, Musical Night, Groove and Soothe, Nukkad Nataks, and many more. Each council and fest has its websites by the names mentioned above. There are sports competitions both inter iit and intra iit in which people participate in huge numbers. Hostels are compulsory for UG students and they are very cheap. The food is not bad, it’s pretty average according to the price and is hygienic.
They were no campus place name because I opted for humanity degree and humanities degree comes with no direct placement after UG and it acquires greater and highest studies so right now I am doing my post graduation and the emploibility is very low
The course curriculum is well structured and covers both theoretical and practical knowledge which helps to build a strong foundation for a subject like biomedical. I always had interest in human health and diseases which is why I chose this course. Faculties are always willing to clear doubts as they are well qualified in there particular domain. And overall I feel the course provides a good academic environment for students. there is a academic calendar provided which gets updated time to time and exam are conducted according to this calendar only.
Campus placements start from the 7th semester for students, once the University criteria is fulfilled. As B. Tech Biotechnology is a newly introduced course, there is no Branch wise Placement data available for B.Tech Biotechnology as of now but the university does attract companies like Nestlé, Yakult, Dabur, Cognizant, Accenture, Infosys, HCLTech, and so on. The university stated the overall highest package was 60 LPA and the average placement was around 5.4 LPA. My ambition is to pursue a career in Biotechnology in R&D or QA/QC or Biopharmaceutical industry after graduation and enhance my technical knowledge.
There are regular placement drives that are conducted on a monthly basis. We have regular updates for campus placement drives that are shared with us and we can participate in them to choose the best options for ourselves.
Galgotias University has a high placement rate with the current tenures placement reaching 5500+ job offers. The highest package was 60LPA and the average goes between 5LPA. The university has a dedicated placement cell and also an well developed student led e-cell. There are many internship opportunities as well both India and abroad.
Galgotias University has a very strong placement cell and more then 200 companies like Infosys, josh technology, Capgemini and many more have made given the placement offer to students and highest package is of 60 LPA
The placement are nice, this year the Highest package was of 60 Lakh and the Average package was of 5.4 Lakh. There are a lot of internships oppourtinity also so you get to experience Industry work during you 3rd year which gives you a heads up.
Our course provides internship for every student from the first year onwards as it is mandatory for everyone to do an internship from the 1st year , it also provides best placement for student who wanted to go in corporate filed ,the Highest package till now is 8lpa and lowest is 3.6 lpa and Average package is between 4 to 6 lpa
B.Tech computer Science engineering is very tech driven field which , by the assistance of new tech driven laboratories, latest generation technology focused curriculum, is very remarkable field to study and progress in.
Placements and job opportunities at Galgotias university are good. Students become eligible according to their course requirements and academic performance. Many healthcare companies and hospitals visit for placements and internships. After completing B.Sc Nursing, my plan is to work in a good hospital, gain experience and grow in the healthcare field.
