How is B.Tech Biotechnology at LPU?

I will try to be as much unbiased as I can in this answer. Here are some points of 4-year B.Tech Biotechnology in LPU: All the teachers who taught us have at least a master's degree. Some experienced, some nascent. Some nascent ones are not able to explain themselves or their subjects properly to the students resulting in communication between the two. Apart from that, all teachers are helpful by nature and try to solve a student's issues, whether it is personal or professional. Classes are not crowded due to which teachers can work on the weak students. Facilities provided by the university are good, except when AC's are turned off even if the temperature outside is hot. This is due to LPU's policy and the university never allows anyone to violate the policy. Coming to the practical part, I would rate it average. The reason being, some practicals increase your interest in the subject and some do vice versa. Some (modern) equipment is required in Labs to progress the level of research in LPU. Now the placement part: This year, I saw many companies coming with decent packages while some companies with not-so-decent packages. Some were of core, some of the sales, and non-core. LPU prepares well its students for placements which include having pre-placement classes in the timetable to teach students skills required in the corporate world. I hope it helps Thank You!
