I chose this college because of its excellent biotechnology program. Dy Patil has dedicated a whole school to the biotechnology department, which is rare in India. They have a very well-planned curriculum and their labs are very well equipped. we have all the instruments at our college like chromatography, PCR machines, and highly advanced wet and dry labs. we have a separate bioinformatics lab with all the paid software acquired. The faculty at Dy is very friendly and easily approachable, unlike other universities where you have to make appointments. At Dy, all faculties hold a doctorate. My admission process was online due to COVID-19 it was a very simple interview round and I was granted admission on merit. Our college has a famous Dy Patil stadium where many concerts and sports matches are held. I love this college but yes the Belapur School of Biotechnology has very limited cultural activities, people are not as involved as it is on a very small scale.
I chose biotechnology as the name itself fascinated me with how biology could be integrated with technology and after the covid there is huge scope and demand for biotechnologists globally. Biotechnology has a great scope and it will never end as there are new inventions every day. There are so many problems which can only be solved by biotech. The faculty at Dy are very experienced and they all have a doctorate, with teaching they have much ongoing research going on in the university. they are very friendly and we give feedback to professors at every sem end and it is taken very seriously. About exams, we have 2 midterms and one end sem with 2 practical papers and 4 theory exams every semester. There Is no fee hike, 75000 is a fixed fee for every academic year. I am not sure about the scholarships but students can take up student loans for financial aid.
Dy doesn't provide internships, but they have mini-projects and year-long projects as part of the curriculum for students to get real hands-on experience. students often find hands-on training programs which are generally paid, but they develop skills for the future.
As now I have started my MSc, we have been asked to pay 3500 for the training and placement program. In which they will guide us and train us with mock interviews, resume & profile building. They will provide 2 years of assistance for getting a job after the completion of the degree. we have recruiters from research labs like Aditya Birla and BARC. The starting salary package is low but increases with more research and experience. everyone who takes training gets a job later. I plan to go for higher studies like completing a PhD or an MBA for better opportunities.
We have three major events in our college all in January or February. they are species which is the main cultural fest, it's good the student council called Iqlipse nova for the concert last year. then we have Technozar which is the tech fest to show creation and innovations. Then we have a sports fest which is zest with all the sports competitions. Our library is well equipped with all major books and journals. We also have a digital library available to us. There are many clubs to like drama, dance, art and editorials.
The college doesn't have a hostel facility. Though there are many Pgs and flats to rent in the Belapur area. you can easily find flats at very affordable rates in walking distance from the college. The locality is safe and everything is available here in a span of 2 km. The locality is amazing with all cafes and food joints which are very student pocket-friendly.
I haven't reached my placement stage yet but from what I have seen the college doesn't wait until the final year to start preparing students. We have coding sessions, skills building workshops and career guidance from the beginning. Seniors also share their experiences which gives us a better idea of what to expect. I feel the college is helping us build the right foundation for internships and placements. At the same time, I think getting a good job also depends on how much effort we put into improving our own skills. So far I feel I am on the right track
no placement data is present now but many of students are working on their own projects and few are cracked the internships and now currently serving their period on the companies and it's really great opportunities.
The college does have a placement cell. It provides some in campus placements . Rarely 2% students get in campus placements. Rest have to find jobs pn their own. You wi have to do alot of interships and gain practical skills to be placed
Diffrent companies have different criteria, limited companies comes in campus such as bootcoding Pvt.Ltd , and some small companies arrived. Highest package giving by companies is 4 LPA lowest package is 3LPA and average package is 2.5LPA. about 20% of students got placed. Searching a job after my course computation.
The faculty members are supporting but inexperienced the experienced professionals have left the college long time ago. This is one of the old colleges in Pune. The semesters are generally proactive extracurricular activities are less and are given not much priority .

There are the lowest 3LPA and highest 6LPA packages are offered by the companies like TCS, Infosys, Wipro, BOAT, SBI , Ultra Tech, Mahindra, Capgemini etc. Students have to maintain their SGPA up to 8.0 CGPA.
