Campus Life

It has grand annual fest Gardenia which is held for 3 days. Other sports and extracurricular activities are also offered. The library is filled vast variety of books, journals etc available during college hours. The classroom has smartboards for all interactive sessions, presentations etc. They also have Gcu portal through which students can view their attendance, upload assignments, complete assessments like quiz etc, apply for leave applications for hostellites and students can also pay their fees through the same portal which is easier than waiting for your turn in long queues in fee counter

Admission

This was the first college I have applied for and I got admission very easily. I choose this college because of the course availability and it doesn't need any other competitive exam for the admissions, just completed graduation in life science field. The overall admission experience was excellent because you will have a person to person interaction to guide you throughout the admission process

Faculty

5

The faculty to students ratio is more and the faculties are friendly and approachable. I personally like my pc because of how understanding she is and her way of teaching is really helpful. The exam systems are conducted through online mode no writing exams . For every unit there will be quiz conducted and the marks will be considered for the total which helps us to analyse how much of the subject we have understood. They also provide coursera course as a part of choice based assessments

Night Life

5

As I'm a day scholar student I don't stay around that area so no idea but you have lot of options like gyms, cafés, shopping marts for groceries, clothes etc in nearby . At night time I guess it's good considering the environment around that area. You also have lake right in front of the college for relaxing.

Practical session must include more of industrial visits and projects related to industry. We had enough time to study .

Hence this university is reputed one in Karnataka.. i choose this one and I got the seat and I am very happy for this.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The curriculum is fairly distributed among the 2 years. The first year broadly covers the course work, and learning of the laboratory techniques. Followed by a mini project and a major project under a professor of interest. Stem cell biology always intrigued me and this course offered exactly what I want. The curriculum focuses on training students very rigorously to make them fit for harsh conditions and situations in the real research world.
