Saianusha990's Review on Dr. Bhanuben Mahendra Nanavati College of Home Science

Placements-

Dr. BMN College of Home Science has a dedicated Placements team.

As for my personal experience, my classmates and I found a company for our internship. The department provided us with a letter for the same.

I chose to specialize in Food Science and Nutrition in the 2nd year of graduation. Post my graduation, I applied for a Masters's degree. So I did not avail of the Placement facility.

The college provides internship placements in several renowned companies and hospitals such as 

• Parle Products Pvt. Ltd.
• Goodday Foods Pvt. Ltd.
• Pepsico India Holding Pvt.
• Mahanand Dairy Goregoan
• CIPLA, Vikhroli
• Microchem Pvt. Ltd
• Britannia (Shangrilla) Ltd., Bhandup
• Raheja Hospital
• Godrej Hospital, Vikhroli(E)
• Hiranandani Hospital, Powai
• Hiranandani Hospital, Powai
• Fortis Hospital, Vashi

Note: The above list is specific to the Food Science & Nutrition Specialization.

Salary-

To start with, you can expect to get an entry-level position in a wellness company or a food company with a salary package of approximately 2 Lakhs per annum. 

Salary depends on your chosen area of specialization. In my case, I chose to go for a Masters's degree in order to get a better salary package and more in-depth domain knowledge. And most students go for a post-graduate program for better job prospects.

Alumni- All alumni stay connected via a Facebook group and meet once annually.

The area where the college is located (Matunga) has girls' hostels available at nominal rates.

The food in college is okay-ish. My suggestion is that it's okay to have food in college once in a while.

The quality of classrooms, labs, and libraries is great.

Note: The above-updated information is based on the information provided by the college's official website.

I did not take any entrance examination for this course.
In case you want to know more about the scope of the course or need guidance on which course to take up and the subsequent career path, feel free to approach one of the college professors. I have received guidance from them during the admission process.

The daily routine is a mix of lectures and practicals.

Every semester is followed by an examination- both theory and practicals.
