Hello Shubham, hope you are well!

I will provide you a clear picture about the course taught in NIFTEM, Sonipat and will try to explain how useful will it be if you accept your seat. If you choose CS in other colleges over NIFTEM, then it is your interest and depends on what decision you will take.

This course is not plain B.Tech Food Technology but it is B.Tech in Food technology and Management. So, it is an unique course. It is an Integrated course offering you deep knowledge of all aspects of food science and business studies(management studies is a plus point if you are a MBA aspirant). As it is an institute of national importance, you have one of the best state of art lab facilities with some excellent faculties. This course is not only limited to bio-background students. The non-bio students are also taught about the strong basic fundamentals of biology in the starting semesters. The demand of this field will never decrease because food is required by everybody.

If you consider placements, NIFTEM is among the best institutes for placements in the field of food tech. Max package is o f 14 LPA and minimum package is of 4 LPA. Major food companies like Nestle, Mondelez, ITC (Foods Division), ITC (Agri Business Division), Amul, HDFC Bank, TetraPak, Mother Dairy, TastyBites, Snowman logistics and startups like Ninjacart, Licious, Baker’s Dozen etc. take part in the placement process(avg. pay scale is 6.5-6.8 lakh)

Now that I have explained the reasons you should accept your seat alloted in NIFTEM, further choice lies in your hand. In my opinion, you must go for this course as it is offered by a premier institute of that field.

Hope this helps:)
