TESTIMONIALS

I came to know about the research activities at universities from my teaching faculty at Maharishi Markandeshwar (Deemed to be University). They taught and helped me arrive at decisions with certainty. The specialized guidance of the faculty members helped me get admission in the university I desired.

Looking back, I can see MM(DU) was extremely important and a stepping stone in my career. It allowed me to develop my interpersonal and technical skills, which are extremely important in my field of work. The thing I admire the most is the support I received from everyone at the Department of Biotechnology. It has helped me to develop a positive attitude towards my studies and discover more about myself. Teachers were very caring and interested in students’ well-being, which allows them to really understand the strengths and difficulties of an individual. It was a wonderful experience to become a part of various conferences, workshops and guest lectures hosted by the institution. The internships helped me to gain knowledge about the Biotechnology sector and handle the sophisticated instruments in the modern laboratories. I wouldn't have been able to achieve what I have achieved without that caring and encouraging environment at MM(DU).

I am working at SunLife Pharma services as Executive Microbiologist. The syllabus and curriculum during my study period at MM(DU) was very helpful and suitable to find a job at the industry level.

Looking back, I can see MMEC was extremely important and a stepping stone in my career. It allowed me to develop my overall skills. The thing I admire the most about MMEC is the support I received from everyone at the college. I wouldn't have been able to achieve what I have achieved without that caring environment.

I am highly thankful to MM(DU) and all the faculty members for their continuous support. The syllabus and curriculum taught at the university campus helped me to crack a government job.
