How are the placements of BE in biotechnology in NSIT, Delhi?

Hi, I'm assuming that you're already a Biotech student at NSIT. So, the option of switching to COE/IT or related courses is out of reach. Do biotech students get time for other activities? Well, that's up to you. No engineering course is so intense that will keep you engaged all the time. The amount of time you can take out for other activities (e.g. programming, at it seems, in your case) is completely in your hands. A major portion of students get placed in software related profiles (irrespective of their branch). That is good enough indicator of the coding atmosphere in NSIT. There are a number of platforms through which you can enhance your programming skills: 1) Periodic sessions conducted by societies like IEEE, CSI, etc. 2) Facebook groups 3) On the personal front, use challenges at Codechef, SPOJ, etc. Other than this, you can obviously get in touch with your peers and seniors for guidance. I don't have enough information to compare between the coding environment of DTU and NSIT. Regarding NSIT's placement for Biotech in COE/IT related profiles, I suggest you get in touch with your 4th-year biotech seniors and/or students at Placecomm. All the best.

Hi there, NSIT is one of the premier engineering colleges in the country. Engineering aspirants can aim for the college after IITs, NITs and DTU. As per the yearly rankings released by sources like HT Mint, NDTV and Outlook the college is one among the top 20 engineering colleges in India. Here are some of the insights of the college: Intake:- 120 (biotech) Average package:- 5LPA Highest package:- 12 LPA Recruiters:- Dr Reddy, Workhardt, Glaxosmithkline, Novozymes, and many more Here is the link to get more details of the placements: <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://www.nsit.ac.in/placement/&ved=0ahUKEwi-nI3q_7DWAhUWTo8KHSTnCogQFggkMAA&usg=AFQjCNFjyP_cH6nJomut9hLV5_FSSul-nA" style='word-wrap:break-word;'>https://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://www.nsit.ac.in/placement/&ved=0ahUKEwi-nI3q_7DWAhUWTo8KHSTnCogQFggkMAA&usg=AFQjCNFjyP_cH6nJomut9hLV5_FSSul-nA</a> Hope this helps.

First of all, I must tell you that the number of biotechnology opportunities in India is very less. Also, in almost every college, students get in marketing firms or IT jobs so as to get placed with a decent paying job to support oneself. If by any chance, you want to survive in the tough competition of getting placed in a core biotech company in India, you should at least consider going for a Master’s degree programme, unless you have an extraordinary profile after completing your undergraduate degree. That being said, the placements at Netaji Subhash Institute of Technology is an average in the field of biotechnology where almost 50-60% of the total batch that registers for placement gets placed in some IT companies with an average placement package of 6-7 LPA, provided you have some knowledge of coding and technical aspects, for which NSIT has a very good coding culture. Around 10-15% students get placed in the biotechnology core companies with packages of more than 8 LPA. I hope this helps. Cheers.

Biotechnology as a stream is very new in India and therefore the probability of securing placements in the core biotechnology profiles is very hard even at top Engineering colleges. That said, there are still several options of getting decent placement after completion of biotechnology from NSIT. Pharmaceutical companies, research companies as well as pharma consulting companies, flock to NSIT to recruit the biotechnology cohort every year. Though the average CTC is lower compared to other streams like CSE, IT, ECE but the profiles and the brand value of recruiters is pretty decent. Some of the past recruiters are CIPLA, ZS, Ernst & Young. Some students who are good at coding get a shot at IT profiles too but it is not easy as you need to compete with students from branches like CSE, IT, etc. Biotechnology is an emerging field and there is a tremendous scope for it. So, if one is planning to undertake it as a career option, it is definitely worth a shot as it helps you get into a futuristic programme where you might take a lot of advantage in future. Hope it helps. All the best.
