Review of College of Horticulture, Thrissur - Kerala Agriculture University.

Placements: Above 500 students are studying from first-year to 4th-year. The highest package is 18 LPA and the lowest package is 2 LPA. Food processing is a high-quality job. 90% of students get internships after completion of the course. The farm officer's role is offered in placements after completion of the course.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is available in the hostel and classrooms. Labs are available for each subject. Classrooms are high-tech with projector facilities. It has a central library and a college library. High-quality food and favorite menus are available in the mess. It has cricket, football, volleyball, badminton and basketball grounds.

Faculty: High-quality doctorate teachers take classes for all students. Semester exams are easy to pass. Students should score 40 out of 100 to pass. It is not like an engineering college. In this course, it is easy to score marks and pass this course without supplementary.

Satisfied with course curriculum and teachers. But labs needs to be renovated.

Placements: Most of the companies that visit the campus are from the service sector. Students of our senior batches got their jobs only through competitive exams but not through any campus placement drives. However, placement drives are about to start by July this year (2019). Some students also started working as TAs (teaching assistants) in the same college after the completion of their masters for a salary of Rs. 30,000 and some students also got placed as research associates with a daily payment of Rs. 350 per day.

Infrastructure: Facilities provided in our college are average. Only a few departments are having good labs, and one can do any research activities in those labs. The library is not up to the mark, and we don't even have any reading room available here. The library is not much spacious, and there only a few books available there. The library doesn't even have any updated editions. Our hostels are newly renovated, but they can't be able to offer accommodation facilities to all the students as the batch size is growing every year. They need to provide additional rooms. Quality of food offered is low here.

Faculty: Faculty members of our college were highly qualified and highly resourceful. Thet teach using all possible means. They offer both theoretical and practical knowledge. The faculty to student ratio in the master's courses is 1: 5. We have been to research institutes as a part of our course curriculum.

Other: Extracurricular activities are given much importance. Inter-college sports and art events are conducted every year. The campus is beautiful with greenery all around. The campus is not easily accessible as it's situated far from the city.

Satisfied and proud because of career options and infrastructure of college and placement.

Placements: Our college is a well established college in Kerala. Students who want to get admission in this college have to qualify NEET or CUET.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is really good. We have a many labs and classrooms and a library for our college. We also have a central library. It is vast and beautiful. It has n number of books. We also have garden and orchards inside college. Hostel is a bit old. But hostel is most beautiful place here. Time restriction is 9:30 pm for girls and no restriction for boys. Mess food is also better compared to others. Free Wi-Fi in hostel is another feature.

Faculty: Teachers are well qualified. Almost every teachers have doctorate. Well experienced teachers. When think about course curriculum, it is a bit stressful but field works are enjoyable. We have 8 semesters. Semester exams are bit tough but it has a quality. 95% pass percentage.

Other: I choose this course because it has a wide career options. Agriculture is well developing career today. Almost everyone in our pass out batch got internship. After UG some prepare for PG. Others go to foreign countries through scholarship. Arts and sports are very well balanced with studies.
