I have been in LPU so I can vouch on their practices that they are implementing and I have witnessed their effort for students and management working hard for placement and imparting quality teaching. Here are few highlights which I would be sharing for helping you to develop your mind set. Lovely Professional University has developed extensive research facilities and infrastructure to sustain the teaching and research activities. The innovative educational programme lays an emphasis on developing an analytical approach, built upon a robust knowledge intensive foundation. The graduates of the Department of Biotechnology and biosciences are essentially taught with a strong multidisciplinary approach, being trained in both applied biological sciences and applications through a rigorous curriculum, augmented by hands-on experience during internships. They are thus well trained to handle various assignments required by the industry and are well-equipped to diversify into various disciplines. Many companies like Biocon Pvt Ltd. , Panacea Biotech, Shanta Biotech, Syngene, Piramal Healthcare, Wockhardt Limited, Reddys Laboratories, Bharat Biotech, Himalaya Spring, Nectar Life sciences Pvt Ltd. , Alchemist Pvt Ltd, Transsasia Pvt Ltd, Life-cell International visit LPU for placements. The average packages lie between 4.5 to 6 LPA.

Hello! I would say, look for other option as well. Biotech is a upcoming field, though not fully matured in India yet, but for fresh aspirant, they will enter this industry when it will be at its high growth rate. LPU is the best bet for training in this field. Focus is on correlation of concepts with the scientific happenings for deep rooted concept building to harness the research potential in the upcoming streams of Biotechnology. The programme is designed for specific outcomes like: 1 : Apply knowledge of basic sciences, fundamentals of biology through genetic engineering 2 : Design and develop value added products using knowledge of bioprocess engineering, enzymology, enzyme technology and industrial biotechnology. 3 : Generate, analyze and interpret Biological data using Insilco approaches through basics in bioinformatics and computational tools 4 : Impart knowledge and understanding of various aspects of environmental biotechnology, genomics, proteomics and Nano biotechnology. 5 : Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the scientific principles and apply these to inculcate research aptitude through live field projects. And other programme Outcomes like: 1 : Computational Skills : Recognize, analyze problems and plan strategies for their solutions with the help of computer skills 2 : Team work : Play effective roles in multidisciplinary teams 3 : Educational Leadership : Recognize and meet emerging challenges of global society in the 21st century. 4 : Professional Enhancement : Understand the value and processes of life-long learning and professional development. 5 : Communication : Ability to communicate effectively in both oral and written contexts in the form of technical papers, project reports, design documents and seminar presentations. 6 : Data analysis : Collect, analyze and interpret scientific data 7 : Entrepreneurship skills : Understand the processes of setting up and managing viable business ventures. 8 : Knowledge Enhancement : Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of essential facts, concepts, principles and theories relating to subject areas. 9 : Ethics : Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of the engineering practice. And industry immersion programs of LPU with superb track record of placements. It is the ideal institution to join courses in Bio Technology. This firmly establishes the pole position of LPU as the leader in this field. So, there is no competition.

Despite the fact that you get to rock in your very own department building, with the biotechnology department having the highest number of faculty members, academic or non academic, I must tell you the placements for biotechnology at SRM are'nt satisfactory. Very few core companies visit the campus, selecting even fewer students, making the majority to end up in marketing or it companies. The placements record of Vit seems to be better but not enough to gaurantee you a core job in the field. Cheers! If these are the last options on your list, select the better of the developing universities. VIT!

Definitely one should go for SRM University for biotechnology. Though both the universities have old establishment SRM University has invested huge and effortlessly to get to the top. Also, the same is reflected in the rankings conducted by NIRF and IPSOS which was powered by Zee news. Apart from the academics, SRM has very vibrant and modern lifestyle accompanied with a very happening and creative pool of talented minds. Now, it is true fact that the biotechnology has still not found much scope in the corporate world still is widely opted in India for its large scope in research and application in abroad. The placements, when compared to both the colleges from recent recruitment drives, are as follows:- average from SRM is around Rs 6 lakhs whereas Rs 4 to Rs 4.5 lakh from VITEEE. Highest from SRM is Rs 11.8 lakh and Rs 9 lakhs from VIT. So considering all the above facts and removing the dilemma away according to me, one should definitely go for SRM University. Although, if unable to get in SRM than VIT is not a bad option. Thank you, hope it helped, feel free to ask.
