My point of view about my college.

Placements: Though it is an agricultural course, there is no placement in our college. So, students can go for government jobs. But, we have placements for the Agri-Business Management degree, where they can earn Rs.40,000 to Rs.50,000 as an initial package. Other than this, I couldn't find any placements in our college.

Infrastructure: Our department is the largest department, and it has more labs. We have a library, and classrooms are provided with smart boards, speakers, mics, etc. We have Wi-Fi connections both on campus and in the hostel. The hostel facility is somewhat moderate, we face some water and drainage issues. The mess is large, but the food is not much nice.

Faculty: Teachers are qualified and very talented, and the teaching quality is okay. The course curriculum is wide and interesting. We can learn things from a practical aspect. The semester exams are more difficult due to the broad curriculum. The pass percentage is 60%, so we can pass easily because we have mid-semester exams, practicals, and the main exam, so we can easily score 60%.

Other: I chose the course because I like agriculture so much. The best thing about this course is that we can be involved in food production, which makes us feel proud. I think they should improve the teaching methods of the staff. There are lots of events in our college, such as Sangamithira 2 days, Muthamizh Vizha 2 days, inaugurations, New Year celebrations, Pongal celebrations, departmental functions, valedictory events, sports days, and ICT events.

About college days of my life.

Placements: 80% of students get placed. The initial salary that will be provided by the companies will be Rs 25,000/-. Fertilizer companies will be recruiting. 50% of students get internships but it is based on their own interest. Students after completion of the course are eligible to set up fertilizer shops, mushroom production units, and are eligible to crack various competitive exams.

Infrastructure: There are laboratories for every single course and a vast land area for the field classes with a plantation. The hostel is located near the college which is within walking distance. The food is good, and other facilities will be very neat. Hostel rooms will be provided with 24 hour Wi-Fi, and there will be no need to step out. Everything will be provided within the hostel campus.

Faculty: Teachers are highly professional and completely friendly. It makes the students industry-ready. If the topics are learnt conceptually, it is very easy to clear the exams. The pass percentage is 60% which means you have to score 60 out of 100 together in the final and mid-semester exam.

Other: Agriculture is a basic need so I chose this course. There will be a lot of cultural events and club inaugurations every year.

Good environment with a strict college-like school.

Placements: As far as I know, only 2 have been placed in a sugar factory, and the package is around 10-12 LPA. The company's name is Parrys Sugar. They have been trying to get more companies, but mostly students join themselves in a company related to the agriculture sector.

Faculty: The faculty is excellent, except for one or two. The pass percentage is a bit above average, and mostly, arrears are of one subject or less. The labs have most of the equipment needed for experiments, and the teachers prepare before teaching. The curriculum is easy.

Other: The environment is great and peaceful with a cool climate, and there are more activities that you can join. The only problem is that phones must be submitted for 2 hours daily, except weekends and leave.
