It provides good education but few teachers are experts. Administrative faculty lack quick action.
Placements: None of the students are placed in any companies. But we get an internship type of program in the 4th year of college with some amount of money. The program provides all kinds of experiences in the fields of agriculture and business that we could take up after graduation.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is average but clean. Classrooms are big and are equipped with smart projectors. Labs are well-equipped with all types of equipment, machines, and glassware. Wi-Fi is not available in the classroom. Medical facilities are below average. The college provides a gym for both boys and girls. Hostel facilities are average but the food is good.
Faculty: Teachers are well-qualified and classes are held regularly these days. The teaching of some teachers is excellent while some teachers are not. The college prepares the students for industry. The college also hosts several training programs and seminars for students. Also, top students are sent to foreign countries with a scholarship for 1-3 months training programs. The pass percentage is high.
Other: I got this course after giving my state exam. I am glad that I have chosen this course. Agriculture is vast and provides knowledge about every field be it science, social science, statistics sociology, etc. It would be better if we could get more practical skills than theoretical ones. There are very few extracurricular activities in our college. Events or fests are rare.

Placements: Around 70% of students are placed in this course. The highest salary package offered ranges from up to 3 LPA to 4 LPA, and the lowest salary offered varies from Rs 20,000 to Rs 30,000. Mainly government jobs are better but there is a great option for food processing industries pharmaceutical industry cosmetic industries.

A review of College of Agriculture, Polasa, Jagityal.
Placements: Agriculture has a vast scope of job opportunities. Coming to placements, a system of job placement isn't there in this college. A mandatory exam conducted by the state/central government has to be written for the government jobs. For the private jobs, you are interviewed with your percentage.
Infrastructure: The college is well established in the year 2008. The college campus constitutes of 150+ acres with cricket, basketball and various other sports equipped. All the lab infrastructure is well established. Medical facilities aren't really good. The classrooms are large but not equipped with air conditioner. A virtual room for all the digital activities is present with air conditioner.
Faculty: The best faculty have been recruited in this college, with many assistant professors and associate professors. The course consists of 4-year degree programme with 8 semesters in total. The fourth year of this programme consists of RAWEP and AELP which brings agriculture close to the students in terms of field practical and management.
Other: Scholarships are given by the state government for the eligible candidates. Extracurricular activities are conducted in the college.
