My honest review: College life, curriculum and career preparation

I would rate it around 8/10 for relevance and comprehensiveness. I chose this course because it offered solid foundational subjects that aligned with my interests. The curriculum prepares students well for higher studies and provides decent exposure to lab techniques. However, for real world readiness, it could be improved. Teaching methods are mostly theory-heavy and would benefit from interactive approaches. Exams are moderately difficult and conceptual clarity and regular revision helps in scoring well.

Although our course does not provide intership opportunities other courses in school of applied science and other departments like CS,IT etc provide internship opportunities starting from the 4th sem end break

General: University fee- 10,00 rs (all 3 years) Tution fee- 60,000 rs (all 3 years) Common breakage fee- approximated 300 rs (varies) Exam application fee- 5,000 rs (each semester) Tuition fee might increase in a few years. One of my friend has a merit scholarship where she doesn't need to pay any tuition fees. Achieving 100% attendance also earns you lower tuition fees, and obtaining a GPA of 9.0 and above in an academic year significantly reduces the tuition fee you pay.

The are various cultural fests, inter-college events and technical fest, including model- making and poster presentations. The library has very good selection of textbooks and reference materials. Classrooms were basic with most having projectors. Sports facilities include a playground, basketball court and cricket ground with annual sports day and inter-department competitions. Student run clubs such as NSS, science clubs, cultural committees organized events.

I applied to MS Ramaiha, Jain College, NITTE in Mangalore for food technology, biotechnology and biomedical science respectively. I received confirmation from all but chose REVA due to its affordable fee, transport facilities and good reviews from people. Admission process: Eligibility- 12 grade with biology and chemistry Admission was base on 10 and 12 boards marks and an entrance exam was required. The process was straightforward with online for filling, document submission and counseling.

Faculty to student ratio in my department is fairly balanced, roughly 1 faculty for 15-20 students. Most were approachable and a few even offered mentorship for internships and career planning. Jyoti B R- Her teaching style was very clear and structured and very approachable. Saif Uddin- Extremely knowledgeable and passionate about their subject. Sikandar Mulla - As per me is considered the best faculty due to their subject mastery and helpful nature and giving advice on how to survive in real world. Each semester had 2 internal assessments and semester-end exam with 2 mock practical exam and a semester-end practical exam for lab based subjects. Very few people failed mostly due to low attendance or incomplete assignments. The curriculum was academically sound and well-suited for further studies. However, industry readiness, more emphasis on internship, data analysis tools and emerging areas like genomics and immunotherapy would have been beneficial.

Campus nightlife is quiet and student friendly.You have the library, gym, cafeteria that are open uptill 8 PM. Hostel timing are usually around 9-9:30 for girls and little later for boys. Popular hangout places are located in safe,well lit areas. Though not a party hub, our campus being a green campus helps the students destress with the calm and friendly environment.
