Question

Dharamveer Dheer · Answer

Hi, Sastra is a good name, but certainly not the best, and absolutely not the best value for money. LPU offers very good placements undoubtedly, ranging from 3.5 lacs to 1 crore depending on the programme and the performance of students. More than 300 companies visit LPU for placements and students are placed both nationally and internationally, even in top notch companies like Google, Amazon, Capegemini, Microsoft to name a few. Lovely Professional University is ranked the best private university by ASSOCHAM in 2017 and ranked among top 40 B-schools by NIRF. Faculty in our department is well-experienced and have expert knowledge who work on our skill enhancement. There are lots of career opportunities after MBA in different areas. The university also gives us the opportunity to get real-life exposure through various training programs and an internship, which is mandatory for all. Professors go for value-based education which is something we as professionals would require in our career. Guest lectures by experts and some really successful people are arranged by our department to widen our scope of learning. The placements are exemplary. Many of my known alumni are placed in decent companies in different cities, while some are placed abroad, too. Industrial exposure is offered through in-house training programs. The university organizes many external workshops for us. The package provided by on-campus jobs is also satisfactory. University's environment is pretty decent with high-tech security. They also organize regular interactive one-on-one sessions with experts where we can discuss our views and share our doubts and problems. DVD.

It offers many courses out of which Biotechnology is the course in which it offers about 60 seats to students. It is well known for its good infrastructure knowledgeable faculty with experience of teaching and many facilities like Wi-Fi Sports Complex and labs with better equipments and machines. Sastra University is known for its research in biotechnology but it cannot be compared to IIT or NIT research. But somehow it manages to be in top 3 rank in terms of research in biotechnology. Department of biotechnology in Sastra University has well equipped machines and equipments in the Labs. And many of the students do research in these Labs Few of the core companies that come up during placements season are Dr. Reddy's lab and Nestle, which offers moderate to high packages but with very less intake of students.

If placements are what you are looking for then be assured, you are at the right place as almost everyone gets placed in the college unless someone's not willing to. It always manages to maintain itself among the top 3 colleges for biotechnology undergraduate course in India. The department has advanced infrastructure facility with modern lab setup for research purpose for those students who are interested. Few of the core companies that come up during placements season are Dr. Reddy's lab and Nestle, which offers moderate to high packages but with very less intake of students. Other than that, almost everyone gets placed in some or other IT company, marketing firm or BPO. With this, one can expect an average placement package of 3 to 3.5 lacs and highest placement package of 7 lacs. Note that for placement in the core companies visiting the college, you need to be among the top 10 students of your batch to stand a chance. For increasing your prospects any further, you should consider doing Masters from a reputed college abroad. I hope this helps.

Manish Motwani · Answer

The biotechnology engineering is a new stream relatively in India but is now able to make its scope due to the rapid growth of healthcare services and advanced technology. SASTRA University is a private university, but is well established and relatively old. When it comes to biotechnology, there is an average placement of around 3 to 4 LPA based on your knowledge and skills. Most of the people get into the private companies related to the healthcare sector, some go for higher studies and precisely for research and some opt to set up their own clinic. Biotechnology is, however, a very nice combination of biology and technology where it finds a wide applications in foreign and in modern India, but for getting a high placement, one must have extraordinary skills and knowledge about the stream to get into a renowned corporate or for getting into research field with any prestigious government or private institution. When it comes to particularly a university, the placements are average and it is still not seen the highest package from the respective branch. Thanks and hope it helps.
