Satisfied, and I recommend it to others. The placements and infrastructure in 2024 were good.
Placements: Around 70% of students from our batch get placed in reputed companies, mainly in agriculture-based industries. Top recruiters include Boyer, SEED companies, and agro-tech firms. The average package is around 3-4 LPA, while the highest goes up to 6 LPA. Internships are also offered in reputed research organizations and agribusinesses. Students are mostly hired for roles like Agri Officers, Sales Executives, and Research Associates.
Infrastructure: The university has decent infrastructure with well-equipped labs, Wi-Fi-enabled libraries, and modern classrooms. The hostel is comfortable and has good amenities, including 24/7 water, electricity, and security. The food in the mess is hygienic and satisfactory. The campus also has sports grounds, a gym, and basic medical facilities. Overall, the living conditions and academic infrastructure are satisfactory.
Faculty: Faculty here are experienced and very supportive. They are well-qualified in agriculture-related fields and ensure practical learning. The B.Sc. Agriculture, Horticulture, Forestry, and Agricultural Engineering courses are designed as per ICAR guidelines, making them industry-relevant. Exams are moderate in difficulty. The pass percentage is high, provided students attend classes and study regularly. The curriculum includes both theory and fieldwork, which is quite beneficial.

It's best college for education as well as enjoy college life.
Placements: There is average placement provided to the students, with companies like Kaveri Agri, Ashish Agro, Ankur Seeds, and Grow More Fertilizers participating in this placement program. The placement program has a very relaxed process and a 100% placement guarantee.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college, including labs, classrooms, and the library, is very impressive. The infrastructure can be improved, particularly with regard to the sports ground and parking. Other than that, everything else is excellent in this college. There are gardens, a gym, a canteen, a poultry, an animal house, and a sports ground also present.
Faculty: Faculty members are very supportive. The exam pass rate is 100 percent, so no one fails in the exam. Semester exams are very easy, and the passing percentage is 100 percent, so there is no tension. There are two exams in one semester: one mid-semester exam and one final exam.

Moderate satisfaction because of faculty members and facilities provided by the college.
Placements: College provides very low placements. But the placements provided by the college are sometimes with high package. Agriculture-related companies visit to recruit students on the basis of their marks and eligibility. But you can get more higher package placements after pursuing M.Sc.
Infrastructure: College library is there but the main building is very old. Canteen is not that good. Sports facilities are good as there are several games played in college like cricket, football, badminton, kabaddi, etc. Students are selected for inter and intra-college tournaments.
Faculty: Teachers are well qualified and knowledgeable. Some teachers provide quality education but some just read the slides and take attendance. Semester end exams are not that difficult if you are from English medium school then you can pass them just by reading one day before the exam.
Other: 2-3 fests are done in one year and APL (Agriculture Premier League) is also organized in college in which several games are played between college students.
