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.

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.

Overall Good to prepare for future competitive exams.
Placements: About 20% of students were placed in our courses. Top recruiting company was Cognisphere Solution Limited which recruited 3 students from batch 2019-20. Roles offered in our college are the heads of different Societies like media cell, sports society and etc.
Infrastructure: Whole college has Wi-Fi with fast secure internet. There labs as well but don't have enough equipment which are necessary. Library is well maintained and have enough books for a whole batch for courses as well as competitive exam. Hostel is free of cost but mess is having charge.
Faculty: Most of the professors are Ph.D. holder and are qualified. The course is designed as all the basic engineering courses are covered and then in later semester core branches are main. It makes students ready for different food companies and agriculture related exams.

Good but Improvement required in the recruitment of teaching faculty.
Placements: Around 50% of the students were placed this year. The highest package was around 5lpa, 2lpa being the lowest. And 3 LPA is the average package here. Top companies recruiting our students include NHAI, FAO, Forest Corporation. Not much internship opportunities are available in campus. However, plenty companies offer internship off campus. Top roles offered in our course consist of ATM (Assistant technology manager), BTM ( Block Technology manager), etc.
Infrastructure: Library facilities with free Wi-Fi, computers and Xerox facilities are available. Classrooms are equipped with smartclasses for smooth teaching. Plenty of labs available. Our hostels are equipped with gym, sports complex and the quality of food in our mess is decent. Medical facilities with ambulance are easily available. Every year annual sports meet is conducted.
Faculty: The teachers are highly qualified and professional. However due to the constraint of limited availability of professors, they are overburdened. Hence their efficiency decreases. Absolutely, infact there is an increasing demand for such courses in the upcoming time. If you study diligently, passing the semester exams would be no big deal for you. As of now, passing percentage is 95%. .
Other: One of the reasons why I chose this course was that it gives me the opportunity of working with the environment closely. It provides us with on ground experience of closely working with industry experts. I just wish we had more young professionals who could lead the upcoming batch of students. Regular concerts and events are organised. Annual sports meet happen every year. Conference rooms available for seminars, quizzes and debate competitions are regularly held.
