I have one of my friends studying B.Tech from Amity University Noida. Here are the following points which will help you in making a decision.
Therefore, Amity University may not be a good option for taking admission. As everything shown in brochures and pamphlets might be misleading. The ranking of the college and universities have nothing to do with its education and placement. So, before taking admission do your own research and find a suitable college according to that.
All the private universities in India, except maybe 2–3, are trying their level best to establish themselves and Vignan is no exception. If you are considering joining the university then you should know the following.
Finally, you should join biotech only if you wish to study MS abroad. Otherwise, don’t join the institute.
Yes, IIT Indore is a decent option for bioinformatics and is expanding, but it is yet to become one of the premier national centres in this field.
Parameter | IIT Indore | National Context |
---|---|---|
Programs Offered | M.Sc. & Ph.D. in Biotechnology (includes bioinformatics) | No B.Tech/M.Tech in bioinformatics |
Ranking (NIRF 2024) | #16 in Engineering, #21 in Research | Strong overall, not top-tier for bioinformatics |
Research Focus | Interdisciplinary, modern labs, active faculty | Competitive but behind older IITs & AIIMS/IISc |
Placement in Field | Research-heavy; lower than CSE/EE | Decent in biotech; bioinformatics jobs limited nationwide |
Student Rating | 4.2/5 (M.Sc. Biotechnology) | AIIMS Delhi: 4.5/5 (top for life sciences) |
IIT Indore has decent infrastructure, a robust research environment, and exposure to work on diverse domains in biotech and bioinformatics, particularly for M.Sc. and Ph.D. It's a very good choice that's gaining popularity.
But for specialized bioinformatics courses or industry exposure, IIT Bombay, IISc, or AIIMS Delhi are preferable.
