Remarks :
The admission process was very easy. But we have to qualify for the entrance test which is conducted by the university itself. The entrance test will consist of 100 mcqs of which 50 questions will be from biology 25 questions from physics and 25 from chemistry, each correct answer award 1 mark and the incorrect will be awarded -0.25 marks. The year I got selected the cutoff was 89 for the general category in the first list. Every year 4-5 lists are released followed by a mop-up round.
Course Curriculum Overview :
I chose this course because I have an interest in biology and the department of biotechnology Jamia is very famous, it has a large number of projects currently running. Biotechnology is a good course for a person belonging to a biology background. It has a wide scope and huge demand in pharmaceutical and other research industries. The faculty-student ratio is good. There are 12 faculties and every year a guest faculty is appointed. All the faculties are highly qualified with 15-20 years of experience in the research field. The teaching method is good, explains everything very well. The term exams occur a little late every sem because it is a university and it has to conduct an examination of all departments at the same time, it will take a month to complete the exam. The exams are not difficult, if you have read sincerey you can easily pass and can also score a good GPA.
Loan/ Scholarship Provisions :
The fee structure is very simple the 1st year it is 8000 and for the next two it is 7800/ year. There is no fee hike policy. There is a scholarship awarded by the Jamia Teachers Association (JTA) to deserving candidates belonging to poor families. Also some money is given every year to rank holders of every class.
Campus Life :
Campus life is great at Jamia. Jamia has a very vast campus with great infrastructure, an auditorium, separate sports complex. Every department had its own annual fest Department of Biotechnology annual fest is "biofest" it has no fixed month in which it is conducted. The university has a central Library with two reading halls, The department has also a departmental Library all the top books with foreign writers are available, and they provide access to journals also.
