Heads Up: Modest Placement Metrics

The 2025 placement rate sits at 40% with an average CTC of ₹2.2 LPA, mostly from local biotech firms and research labs. If you’re chasing high corporate salaries straight out of undergrad, you’ll likely need to upskill or pursue an M.Sc.

Worth considering

Bharathiar University delivers an affordable, well-accredited B.Sc Biotechnology with strong fundamentals and lab training. It works best as a launchpad for higher studies or research careers. Skip it only if you expect a high campus placement rate or a premium starting salary right after graduation.
