I am very much satisfied with everything.

Placements: The agriculture course offered a huge variety of opportunities for undergraduate students. Some of our colleagues were appointed as agriculture assistants, farm officers and lab assistants in various research centers and agriculture officers. Besides, there are MBA aspirants who now got admission to IRMA (Gujarat) IIM (Ahmedabad). Moreover, we could continue further studies by pursuing post-graduation afterward. There are a lot of opportunities abroad also. We got admission here by qualifying in NEET examination, and some students got by reservation. There were about a hundred students in our batch.

Infrastructure: Our department has advanced technologies and machinery for research activities and the demonstration for students. The laboratory for every department is handled by professors directly with a complete range of collection of research materials. There is a library inside our campus which has all collections of books related to every department, and also they provide free Wi-Fi facilities for students. The classrooms were rebuilt recently with well-developed audio-visual aids. Accommodation facilities for boys and girls are available separately within the campus with good quality food both in the hostel as well as on the campus. There is a primary health care centre at the entrance of our college. Our campus has the strongest team for sports like football, volleyball, cricket and basketball for both men and women. In addition to this, there is an indoor stadium for us.

Faculty: Most of the professors here have a doctorate degree from reputed universities with a keen interest in helping students in academic activities. They actually put a lot of effort into preparing slides to explain the subject matter without leaving any confusion for us. Most of the disciplines in this field have relevance as it includes economics, genetics, extension, plant pathology, agronomy, horticulture, etc., which increases the scope of this course. Most of the semester exams were much easy to understand, and almost all the students managed to pass except for those who faced some health issues.

Other: I have had a passion for agriculture since my childhood. During my college days, I developed an interest in genetics which gave me the strength to opt for it as my subject for my post-graduation. The only thing I felt to improve was about the exam pattern as they could indulge more multiple-choice questions rather than long descriptive questions as they latter will not improve our subject knowledge rather than make students mug up and forget everything. The main attracting thing about our college is the programs organised on every special occasion. Our college provides scholarships for ICAR students and also E-grants. The campus is located in a rural area, so it is not much crowded. We need to travel a few distance to the nearby town to purchase our things.
