Preity Ray

Sayantan Ray

21 May 21

One of my friends studied atNIFTEM . As per him, it is a very good institute and life is also very interesting, especially during the early college days as it was a new journey of his life.

The professors here are very talented, well educated and very helpful in nature.
They love to interact with the students and guide them with their studies and doubts.
The course curriculum is also very good and well arranged.
The basics are being taught during the first year and the core fundamentals of food are being taught from second year onwards.
The laboratories are also good and well equipped with all the necessary facilities.
The mess and hostel food is not so good but is hygenic.
There are various kinds of sports and extracurricular activities being organised by the college where all the students can participate.

Hence, life at NIFTEM will be very good. You will get the chance to develop and grow yourself in all aspects, from academics to extra curricular activities, but in the end it all depends on you on how you can use these opportunities to shape your future and career in a better way.

Which is a better option: an MTech in food at NIFTEM or an MS in food at CFTRI for a BE graduate?

Abhinandan Banerjee

20 Nov 21

Among NIFTEM and CFTRI, the former is a better option. It is unique and the grooming and exposure that you will get at the campus are better than any other campus that offer food technology degrees.

For a post-graduate degree, textbook learning may not be up to the mark. But if you are industry-oriented then, it is one of the best options for you.

For the first two semesters, you will need to study around 8-9 subjects and do two visits under Village Adoption Programme. For the third semester, you will have to do a semester-long internship. You will be evaluated based on the projects that you handle during your internship. For your final semester, you can get your internship extended, get a PPO in a company, or come back to campus and take a research project. In recent years the highest CTC offered at the institute was 8-10 LPA.
