I would say that please use funds in the improvement of college, not improvement of own your houses.
Placements: There are no placement facilities, and we have to search for jobs and PG opportunities on our own. It's not that good. There is no reputation of this college in a good book, and there is no reach after graduation. Students have to do everything on their own, they don't even give us a college degree on time.
Infrastructure: The college is too old and hasn't undergone renovation. The hostel rooms are so small, 4 people are staying in 1 room in the girls' hostel, which is not good. The lab equipment is either not working or missing, and there are no medical facilities for students. The classrooms are also dirty. It's not so good what I'll say.
Faculty: The behavior of the faculty is very bad, and no one is supportive. The environment is not that good, and the teachers are not helpful in nature. They torture students for assignments and all. The papers are easy, but it depends on you totally on how you will study. The external exams and 3 internal exams are conducted.
Other: I would love to say, please don't come here and take admission.

Agriculture is life of world.
Placements: Below average is the census of placements. Don't have much data. All students are enrolled in the internship from college in the 7th semester, having raw program contains visits to KVK and industries. NABARD, IBPS, AFO, FCI, BAO, and AFO exams are of great significance.
Infrastructure: Labs are good, Wi-Fi is poor, classrooms are average, and library is good. The quality of food is also average. Sports are well-flourished in our college having competition at various levels. Canteen's food is good and cheap. Medical facilities are average.
Faculty: Teachers are well-qualified and knowledgeable but teaching quality is poor. Course is much relevant as it connects us with nature and our desh ki mitti. Our country is mainly agriculture based having lots of scope. Students should consider this option also.
Other: Initially, I don't know much about this course. But later on, I explored and found out various scopes and fields. Events and fests are not much good but we together celebrate Teachers Day, Saraswati Puja, and Christmas with great joy. We have one fest in the year which is Kisan Mela having great significance.
