Ranchi Agriculture College has good campus environment.

Placements: Only 5% of students which is around 4-5 students get selected. Banks like PNB, ICICI, and HDFC come to campus. An agriculture loan officer and clerk role is offered by JNR Bank. The salary package offered is 5 LPA. Our college provides 6 months of prior training with a stipend of approximately Rs. 6,000 per month.

Infrastructure: There is a Wi-Fi-enabled library with more than 20,00 books and daily newspapers in both English and Hindi. There are football and cricket grounds and basketball and badminton courts. Classrooms have smartboards and Wi-Fi. Labs are equipped with all the accessories and Wi-Fi. The campus has its hospital with basic amenities. Canteens and mess are available.

Faculty: All teachers are Ph.D. holders and very experienced. This course is very relevant because it also provides an outdoor experience in the field of agriculture. RAWE and ELP programs are held in the last year of the college. The difficulty of exams is medium. The passing rate is 95%.

Other: I chose this course after my 12th board exam because I also come from an agricultural family background. Campus life can be improved by providing a more friendly environment for both girls and boys. The boys' hostel is always open, but the girls have a hostel time of 5 AM to 8 PM. The annual events are Teachers Day, Birsa Jayanti, Christmas Gathering, Annual Sports Day, Kisan Mela, and many more.

BAU glance and its functioning.

Placements: Placements are not up to the mark. Not many companies visit for campus placements. Only a few students will get placed with a very low package. The new placement cell is active but still major agricultural companies do not visit for campus drive. But an internship is compulsory for last year's students which is provided by the college itself in various companies which is unpaid or paid.

Infrastructure: This college has a decent infrastructure, college is equipped with Wi-Fi and has a well-maintained library which is open till 10 pm for boys and 8 pm for girls. Hostel infrastructure is bad, there is a scarcity of single rooms in boy's hostels and the same in girls' hostels. But the hostel fee is very less so it is adjustable.

Faculty: The faculty is impressive most of them, as they are scientist, the curriculum is very vast, as in each semester we have to study 9-10 subjects which are quite lengthy for a semester, exams are not so hard if we study regularly. But practical is the area which needs to be strengthened.

Other: The fee which I describe here is for 4 years including the hostel fee but excluding the mess fee which is about 3000 per month mess fee.

It is the best college for UG and PG courses.

Placements: It is an agricultural university in Jharkhand. There are 4 branches of agriculture, which include Ranchi, Godda, Deoghar, and Garhwa. Placements are not good in our college. If you study in Ranchi, then you may get good placement opportunities. Otherwise, if you study in Garhwa, you may have a low chance to get placements. Our college does not approach placements.

Infrastructure: Our college provides good facilities like a hostel, Wi-Fi, etc. The lab should get improved. Medical facilities are not good. An ambulance is available in our college. You cannot play games in our college. A first aid box is available in our college. For any emergency, you have to book a van or auto because there is no driver in our college.

Faculty: Faculty members are fair and supportive. They are very knowledgeable and helpful. They are available 24X7 for every student. They always motivate students to do other curriculum activities. Professors are strict during exams because they put in the effort to provide us with more knowledge. The pass percentage is 50%.
