IIIT Allahabad offers an M.Tech program in Bioinformatics, which aims to train students to apply computational methods to biological and medical problems. Here are some details about the placement records of the M.Tech Bioinformatics program at IIIT Allahabad:
Overall, the placement records of IIIT Allahabad for the M.Tech Bioinformatics program are quite promising, and the institute provides a supportive and conducive environment for its students to grow and succeed in their careers.
The placement opportunities for M.Tech students in biotechnology at Anna University are very rare. My friend is a student of Anna University currently pursuing M. tech in biotechnology. She told me that the reality is different once you get into college. No doubt the teachers and curriculum are top notch, but the sole focus throughout the entire first year is studies. There are no practicals at all. Rather it looks like studying the core subjects of B.Tech with higher level education.
The second year has both minor and major projects. Once you are done with the projects you have to do the job seeking alone. There are no placements. Sometimes your mentor can offer you a decent package that will give you sufficient industrial exposure. After this you can apply for high-paying jobs also.
Business Informatics was chosen by one of my friends at IIIT Allahabad. So, I will be able to share some of his experiences. The course mainly focuses on business and technology domains. The faculty is very helpful and supportive and you feel like home here.
Placements:
Cutoffs: If you are in the general category, the cut-off was approximately 7100 according to the last year. Perhaps this year also the cut-off will be similar due to low deviation. The Cut-off stats of 2020 of JEE Mains by NTA are as follows:
GEN |
70.24 |
Other Backward Classes (OBC) |
72.88 |
Scheduled Caste (SC) |
50.17 |
Scheduled Tribe (ST) |
39.06 |
The institute’s course curriculum covers all subjects of the IT branch, plus one additional subject for BI. It will be quite difficult for you to cope up with all the subjects but if you work hard then it will be easier for you.
Among the institutes mentioned, IIIT Allahabad is a better alternative for Bioinformatics. One of my friends was also going through this same situation a few years back and he chose IIIT Allahabad. His experience at the institute has been quite good over the past 4 years.
