Alumni Testimonials
It wasn’t my achievement to study in VISTAS but VISTAS was a place where I achieved and built my career. This success was achieved as a whole by me, my parents and my teachers to whom I owe throughout my life. Due to the placement opportunities provided by VISTAS. I was placed in SIX RED MARBLES as a subject matter expert in biology. Thanks to VISTAS for the opportunity, it has given me to be proud alumni.
M. Luvincia Fernando (B.Tech Biotechnology), 2015-2019
Subject matter expert at Six red marbles
I studied Bachelor of Technology specialized in Biotechnology from the Department of BioEngineering (2016-2020). Being an emerging field of innovation in India, Biotechnology has been well taken care of, in terms of research and academics by the faculty of the department. All the books related to the course of every semester are available at the library. The faculty inculcates the importance of the research along with the theoretical teaching. It is made sure that every outcome of the research is recognized as a research paper in peer-reviewed SCOPUS journals. Students are given the freedom to choose projects and laboratories to work in the specialized field of interest. With experienced faculty involvement, project initiation is boosted up. The internships and minor project are given equal importance as the dissertation project since every project and training are the learning phase. None of the teaching and learning method is left unturned by the department, be it the Online Certified Course from NPTEL, Coursera, or training during the semester holidays. All these steps initiated by the faculty are the stepping stones towards the intensive research work in Postgraduates and Doctoral studies.
