Moderate satisfaction because of faculty members and facilities provided by the college.

Placements: College provides very low placements. But the placements provided by the college are sometimes with high package. Agriculture-related companies visit to recruit students on the basis of their marks and eligibility. But you can get more higher package placements after pursuing M.Sc.

Infrastructure: College library is there but the main building is very old. Canteen is not that good. Sports facilities are good as there are several games played in college like cricket, football, badminton, kabaddi, etc. Students are selected for inter and intra-college tournaments.

Faculty: Teachers are well qualified and knowledgeable. Some teachers provide quality education but some just read the slides and take attendance. Semester end exams are not that difficult if you are from English medium school then you can pass them just by reading one day before the exam.

Other: 2-3 fests are done in one year and APL (Agriculture Premier League) is also organized in college in which several games are played between college students.

Great college campus with well-qualified lecturers and an average hostel. Dissatisfied with the mess

Placements: College placements in recent years have been very good. Many passouts got placements in private and government sectors but majorly in government sectors. About 30-45% of students got placements. The average salary package offered is 7 LPA. Top recruitment companies are Trident, Mahindra, Nirmal sees, Yashoda sees, Krushi Sevak, etc. Agriculture officer, field officer, bank manager, etc., roles are offered.

Infrastructure: The building of the college is one of the Heritage buildings of Nagpur. It was built in the 1850s as a palace for Queen Victoria. It turned into a college in 1906. It is one of the first few colleges established in India. It is an enormous college campus spanning over 800 acres having horticultural, agronomy, and agroforestry fields. This college is the only one having its own zoo named Maharaj Bagh. There are fields for practical experience. The hostel is old and lacks facilities. The mess is below average. The college has a competitive exam forum for preparation.

Faculty: Faculty members are experienced and well-qualified. They are doctorates. There are irregular lectures. The syllabus lags. Regular exams are held. They are of moderate level. Important topics are covered. The average passing CGPA is more than 7. Attendance criteria is above 80. Students get industry-ready knowledge.

Other: Various events are organized such as Shivaji Jayanti Annual Function, Agri Summit, etc. The college actively participated in Agrovision Agri Summit Exhibition.

Our college teaching is good, but practical knowledge is lacking.

Placements: It was 2021, so we didn't get any placements, as it was pandemic time. But still, the college formed a social media group where they informed us about various vacancies in companies. There were 5 to 6 students placed.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure was old because it's been more than 100 years since the college was built, but it had lots of space and various departments. I didn't see any Wi-Fi there, although the library was good, where you could find many books and get the daily newspaper. It had computers with internet connections. The hostel was decent, though sometimes I find water scarce. The mess food was decent.

Faculty: Teachers were good. If you attend college regularly, you will understand everything about your subject or course. The curriculum didn't make you industry-ready, and we also didn't have that many practical classes where we could have learned via practical. Semester exam difficulty depends on your studies. The passing percentage was 55 % for every subject with separate theory and practice passing and combined passing.

Other: Well, at first, it was a random choice. Now, I think the one who has an interest in agriculture should choose this course, or the one who holds land will learn more about agriculture. I think practical classes would be better. Of course, in agriculture, we will learn more practically. College students did take part in extracurricular activities, and we did have events. College fest happened once a year.

The college is at the heart of Nagpur, with a good crowd.

Placements: In our college, not more than 10% of students were placed. Top companies such as Mahyco, Zuari visited and selected a handful of candidates. After COVID, it affected placements more. Those who were placed were offered a salary package of around 3 LPA to 5 LPA. During the final year, internships at farms and agricultural companies were provided.

Infrastructure: Though the main building was old, it lacked proper infrastructure. However, the departments were good. The hostel had a library and a large playground where different activities took place. The library had a good collection of books. Hostels were well built and had greenery.

Faculty: Teachers were highly qualified. Almost all had Ph.D.s. Agriculture was not only confined to plant science. You would study almost all subjects, i.e., economics, statistics, pathology, agriculture engineering, and microbiology. The syllabus was too vast. Each semester had a minimum of 10 subjects, though you could study easily if you were dedicated.

Other: Every year, there was an educational tour at prime locations. During our time, we got to explore Raipur and many agricultural institutions. Visits were arranged at successful farmers' farms. After PG, many students got jobs. Most students were prepared for competitive exams.
