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.
