Chemical and Molecular Biology, IIT KHARAGPUR, IACS KOLKATA

Dislikes

  • Not that much is there for us to dislike

Course Curriculum Overview :

Actually, this course provides me the opportunity to explore 2 campuses, as IIT KGP does this course in collaboration with IACS KOLKATA, hence we get to explore the laboratories of both institutes in the 1st year and then choose a particular lab where I want to do my master's dissertation project. Here the Faculties to the student ratio is exceptional as there are 15 Faculties with respect to 11 students. Most of the faculties are Ph.D. and Post Doctorate degree holders having an ample amount of experience beneath their belts. EndTerm exams come nearly 4 months after the commencement of classes for every semester.

Internships Opportunities :

After the second semester is completed, the student may opt for an internship in the summer vacation gap with prior permission from their PIs, in different laboratories across the country. So, generally, there is a 2-3 months gap, where students prefer to go for internships for their benefit in learning processes.

Placement Experience :

Mostly the Pharmaceutical and Edtech companies visit the campus for placement in our particular branch. And they offer entry-level salaries from generally 5-10 lakhs per annum. Whereas if you are adopted with good coding skills, there are many more opportunities for students upto 30 laks or so, that depends upon your desirability. Mainly students with keen on researches and higher education, join this course every year. Hopefully, I would also like to pursue higher studies, PhD, after the Masters is completed.

Loan/ Scholarship Provisions :

Here, in this course, the fee structure including hostel and mess fees is yearly 1,20,000. They also provide a monthly remuneration of 12,000 per month to all the students of this course. After completing the course one may apply for jobs as there are multiple on-campus placement opportunities every year, but students mostly prefer higher studies in India or abroad.

Campus Life :

Campus life is pretty exceptional and they provide all the necessary amenities for the well-being of a student. Also, all different kinds of cultural clubs and sports facilities are aptly running on the campus. Books are available in the library.

Hostel Facilities :

In the room, they generally provide a bed, an almirah, a table, and a chair. Meal quality is quite good and menus are made, keeping both the veg and non-veg options available all the time. After one gets admitted to the course and the fees of the semester are paid online, they are automatically provided rooms in different hostels for their accommodation.

Admission :

I got my admission through IIT JAM Exam 2023, followed by an interview for the selected exams. Generally, the admission form for IIT JAM gets out in the month of August every year and the exam takes place in February. Once you qualify for the exams, you can apply separately for this course through your JAM rank and then they call for an interview of the selected candidates, after which they admit 11 students out of them mainly based on 30% of your JAM ranking and 70% on your interview experience.

Interview Experience :

IIT JAM is mainly an MCQ, MSQ, and NAT-based exam. In an interview, they ask for your topic of interest and generally ask questions mainly from those ones and some other interdisciplinary ones. I followed mainly YouTube lectures and a few standard textbooks.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I love mathematics from school level. I wished to student this subjet in future and after scoring good in class 12 I took decision to study mathematics from krishnagar government college. Teachers made it easy to chose to study msc then. In msc semester exams after 4/5 months are really difficult to study, but you have to compromise with situation ,nothing to do.

Placement Experience:

From Last semester students are eligible for appearing in campus placements. In our time that is 2021, there is not a single company visited to offer jobs in our department. But, in previous years Dr. Reddy's, Cipla, Sun Pharma, etc companies visited. Our just previous batch got approx 4 LPA packages on average.

Placement Experience:

The placement committee is working hard in the science department recently, besides engineering and arts. The students in their last year or previous year of graduation are eligible for placements. The science faculty has recently linked with AI companies like Bridge i2i, tech companies like TCS and Infosys, and banks like the CITI bank. One student has already secured her placement in the CITI bank. The engineering department is visited by frequent companies like NTPC, SAIL, Mahindra, Google, Microsoft, Compass, Ranbaxy and other prestigious MNCs and international enterprises. Almost 78% of the students get hired in on-campus recruitments and the average package is 6-7lpa in science and 12-13lpa in engineering. After completing my Master, I am thinking of getting a one-year job experience and then, opting for M.Tech.

Remarks:

Lots of positives are there to say regarding JU. It's the premier institution in West Bengal and perhaps entire eastern India for a reason. The free thinking, diversity, tolerance, political consciousness which it imbibes into its students is something everyone of them will fondly cherish when they will set foot out of those beloved gates for one last time.

Remarks:

Overall experience is good. Campus is good too. But some of the departments should be taken care of too. They are worst and after some time courses are stopped. Instead care should have taken.
