What’s the CPI required to change from biotechnology to other branches in MNNIT Allahabad?

It seems like you are a fresher to the college and desperately wants to change your branch Biotechnology, which is the most underrated branch of the college, compared to some other branch.

To be precise, a CPI of 8 is considered safe. Try to keep it above 8. But, if luck is on your side, even a CPI of 7.6-7.7 will help you out.

I would like to mention a few points that you should consider before switching your branch and perhaps, these are the reasons that make Biotechnology at MNNIT Allahabad amazing.

• Faculty: The faculty members are very good. They are comparatively young and therefore understand more of students’ problem. They are friendly and approachable, which is unique to the Biotechnology department.
• Class Strength: There are around 35 to 40 students in the class. Because of the lesser number of students in the class, all share a good bond within themselves as well as with teachers. This is significant at good and bad times.
• Research: The department is very active in the case of research. The department has received funding from various government agencies such as DBT, DST, UGC, MNRE, etc., and has published research papers in national and international journals of repute. Externally funded research grants of approximately above 1.5 crores were also generated by the department within a short span of time.
• The infrastructure is good and growing rapidly.
• Ample placement opportunities. Students are either placed in good companies or they opt for higher studies.
• Students from the department also succeed in exams such as GATE, GRE, CSIR-UGC (NET).

The faculty also frequently visits other research laboratories and research institutions in the country and abroad. Additionally, national as well as international conferences were held which were government agencies supported.
