B.Sc. IN FORENSIC SCIENCES, CHEMISTRY & GENETICS

Coming from a Hindi medium school, when I became a part of Garden City College (Garden City University) the exposure which I got was amazing. The environment at our college helped me enhance academic and non-academic skills to make me industry ready. The college & department had constantly provided me with good opportunities to improve myself. My faculty members were experienced, proficient & accessible to me and had played an integral part in my overall development of my skills and knowledge. My college had organized various workshops and internship with collaboration of many renowned institutions that helped me in holistic development. I can never forget the contribution of the Chemistry department for helping and guiding me throughout my college journey. I feel grateful and thankful to Garden City College for providing me great exposure in such a competitive world and offering vast range of opportunities to reach my goal.

The Emphasis on Life in Garden City University's motto is perfectly appropriate. The best teachers are those who continuously inspire us to succeed in life through academics, extracurricular activities and other means. Being a student at one of Bangalore's top universities makes me feel proud. The stunning campus and excellent facilities that Garden City University offers pleasantly surprised me. Eventually the outstanding teaching methods and incredible support I received to advance my education convinced me of Garden City University's excellence. GCU is an excellent place to study. Being a part of this University is an honour in itself. A plethora of opportunities present themselves for you to grab and help you find your true self. So its a promise of great experiences with an excellent faculty team and many events in which you can participate. Build networks, take chances, and compete as if your life depends on it while you're here, and you'll be rewarded with the best.

After completing my class 12, I shifted to one of the educational hub of India i.e. the electronic city. As I entered the knowledge mall”, Iwas mesmerized by looking at its architectural design. The mall consisted of various attractive pockets .The Founder of the mall, our honourable chairman Dr.Joseph V G whose motto is Emphasis is on Life created a platform where each student can gather both knowledge and enhance their skills. The college not only focuses on physical but also mental and cultural development. Each student has a golden opportunity to showcase their talent in their own interest area. Each and every employee of the college is very friendly and extremely helpful. The faculty is the asset of this college. And I had the golden opportunity to spend my three years under their sincere guidance. I am also very happy to have such great seniors, juniors and my classmates. Indeed we were a family. I, Paromita Sanyal is a writer both in English and Bengali (thanks to English club), theatre artist (thanks to the GCC theatre club for constantly motivating and helping me to enhance my skills), singer and an anchor (once again thank you GCC for giving me the opportunity for anchoring various programs). This college has really contributed towards what I am today. I am really blessed and feel proud of being a Gardenian (2007-2010).

This institution is where I have done my B.Sc in Microbiology, Genetics, and Chemistry. My undergraduate studies gave me the opportunity to develop a strong foundation for research precisely with the world under the microscope; this helped me pursue my higher studies and build my career. Besides providing a great academic infrastructure including laboratories, library, and teaching faculty members, it also supported me to boost my self-confidence and self-reliance. It was indeed a journey that provided an ‘Emphasis on Life.

As an undergraduate student (2010-2013) Chemistry, Genetics & Microbiology), I have had a fantastic time studying at Garden City University, Bangalore. The comfortable study environment, friendly staff, and up-to-date resources made my journey in Garden City delightful. Garden City University was a great avenue to grow both academically and personally. The unified learning initiatives made studying pertinent to match the modern scenario. As students, we improved our leadership and interpersonal skills through student development clubs, which added value to my degree and allowed me to grow. With supportive teachers and excellent schooling, I have had countless experiences studying here, and many of them did contest me out of my comfort zone. My undergrad days and Garden City University has been the stepping stone to my career choice as a researcher.

I am Tharaka Lalinda De Silva, was a student at Garden City College (yes, it was called a college back then) during 2009-2012 (Student ID 09RSS75116). I am really proud and happy to see our college has advanced to become a University. The foundation I got for my higher studies by completing the BSc at GCC has encouraged me to keep studying and pursue a career in science. After completing Master’s degree in Australia, I am working as a Quality Control Scientist now. Just want to start by saying it was an excellent experience to study at Garden City and I met some fabulous people and built a solid foundation to my higher studies during my time in India. The lecturers are very knowledgeable and approachable. Even after 10 years from my studies, I still keep in touch with some of my lecturers. There were students from pretty much all around the world (I think it was about 70+ nationalities during my time). The friendships built with these diverse students, helped me to develop great team building personality and valuable friendships. The subject combination in BSc were Genetics, Microbiology and Chemistry. From memory Garden City at the time, was one of the very few if not the only college to offer the above combination of subjects. Studying major subjects enabled me to choose from a variety of options when I advanced further in my studies and in my career. There were great laboratory facilities to help practice the techniques studied in theory lessons. I think the practical assessments as a part of final exams in each semester are very valuable to gain confidence in laboratory techniques. If you are looking for a place to study in India look no further, I am sure Garden City will be a great start for your journey. All the best Garden City University.

Hi, my name is Ishara Vithana and my journey at Garden City College started in 2008. I had just finished my Advanced Level exams in Sri Lanka and I was thinking of future prospects, one of my friend from school had decided to travel to India to do a degree at a good University. I researched Universities at Bangalore and found Garden City College. It was a great opportunity to further advance my career. I made the applications and waited for the results. My friend and myself got into the college within few months. I was overjoyed, we packed, and everything was ready. We made the move. We reached here at the start of the first term in 2009. I met many students from Sri Lanka and the staff at college made me feel at home. Freshers day came, I performed with a band and made more friends. It was exciting, there was so much to do and so much to see. We visited many cultural landmarks via the university and saw so much. We played sports after classes, made lot of new friends and studied hard during exams. I will never forget the life lessons and memories. I was very much interested in sports and joined the cricket team immediately and performed my best. I was in the college team for the whole duration of the period. We won many tournaments, visited many Colleges, it was a life changing experience. The academic professionalism by my lecturers always motivated me to further my career in microbiology and chemistry. I was really interested in food/ biotechnology career and all the lecturers really helped to mould who I am today. The practical lessons were great and I learned the actual industry techniques required to further develop my skills. By the end of 2012 I had completed my Bachelor’s degree in genetics and moved to New Zealand to finish my Masters of Science in Biotechnology. I worked there for a few years and now currently I am a Quality Compliance Manager for a top Food Production Company in Sri Lanka. Life doesn't always go your way but hard work, determination and commitment will always get you where you want to be. Study hard, enjoy life and you will be always be happy. Thanks

I started my College life in Garden City College, as a bachelor student in 2009. I enrolled in BSc Chemistry, Microbiology and Genetics. I consider my college days as one of the best chapters in my life due to many reasons. The multicultural exposure, the facilities at our University and the attractive environment was an ideal platform for an international student. It has been a truly invaluable learning experience through the lectures and practical sessions with qualified lecturers. Those experiences had highly facilitated me to become a Quality Assurance manager in the FMCG field and continue my PhD in Chemistry in Australia.
