Dr Rajendra Prasad Central Agricultural University at Pusa, Samastipur in Bihar even though formed in the year 2016, traces its origin to the Agricultural Research Institute and College formed in the year 1905. With such a legacy, it's no surprise that this institution is famous across the world for carrying out pioneering research in the agricultural field. 

It offers two engineering graduation courses in the field of agriculture namely in biotechnology and agriculture. Both these courses are lapped up by the students. This is so since the government is pumping in huge funds in this sector and without proper technology no progress can be achieved. 

To answer your query, yes RPCAU, Pusa, Bihar is indeed a great place to go for BTech in Agriculture or Biotechnology.

Hello Nishar Ahmed, this famous agricultural institution is a central university, and as such fees charged are quite low when compared with any other private institutions. It charges almost INR 61,000 per semester for engineering courses and INR 36,000 for all other undergraduate courses. Being a government entity everything charged is with transparent and is known to the students even before they take admission as it is displayed in a downloadable PDF format on its website. What is stated above is the total of different types of fees but it's exclusive of hostel charges. For anyone interested in knowing the details, I would recommend that this PDF file be downloaded and read in comfort.

Best wishes to you.

Hello Nishar Ahmed, Dr Rajendra Prasad Central Agricultural University at Pusa, Samastipur, Bihar even though formed only in 2016, can trace it's origin to an agricultural research institute formed way back in 1905. It's predecessor, started engineering graduation courses in the year 1982 and presently it admits about 60 students every year. Unfortunately for whatever reasons, it's NAAC grading is only D. This perhaps hinders top recruiters from reaching there during placements season. But then it's other Science streams are quite well known and different companies do send people to recruit students. However the data released about placements statistics is for all undergraduate streams put together. From this, and from some other data points, it emerges that the median package offered was about 4LPA. One can extrapolate this to find the highest and the lowest packages. 

Best wishes to you.
