    CAET, Pusa is one of the oldest colleges for agricultural education. Best place for students.
    Placements: Hello everyone, in our college that is the College of Agricultural Engineering and Technology, approximately 60-70 percent of students get placed who are interested in placement, and some also go for higher studies. About placements, the average packages I cannot have enough information on, but average packages are approximately 7-8 LPA, and top recruiting companies are TAFE, JEEVIKA, and many more dairy companies. Almost every eligible student will get an internship in companies like TAFE, JEEVIKA, and many more. Sorry about that, but I cannot have enough information about that.
    Infrastructure: The college provides very good infrastructure with facilities like many labs. The smart classroom infrastructure is very good, and the entire college campus is Wi-Fi enabled. It also has its own library, which includes a collection of many books. Hostels are also well designed and provide good facilities. The mess food is also good but not like home. There is also a hospital present with proper facilities and emergency equipment. The college also focuses on sports and games, as they organize many sports tournaments.
    Faculty: Professors are well graduated from top institutions, and they are top in their area. Their teaching style is also very good, and they are very supportive. The course curriculum is also good and includes many practical classes. However, the semester exams are very tough.

    My college is very satisfying because of the supportive teaching staff, with a good placement figure
    Placements: At the College of Agricultural Engineering and Technology, Pusa, the total strength of students is 44. From these, approximately 10 to 12 students are placed, therefore, 30-40% of students are placed. The highest package is 12 LPA, the lowest is 6.50 LPA, and the average is 3.50 LPA. Top recruiters are Pradhan, TAFE, Mahindra, etc. A maximum number of students get internships in different companies.
    Infrastructure: At RPCAU, all the facilities that are required for students are present, like the sports complex, a central university library, a shopping complex, and a library having 5G Wi-Fi services. The classrooms are fully digital and 5G enabled labs. For performing practicals, 6 to 7 workshops are available. The most beautiful is our hostel, it is a 400 bed hostel, which is complete with all advanced facilities like Wi-Fi, CCTV, and well clean. The mess provides quality food for a fee of Rs. 3,000. University facilities that open 24/7. In the case of sports, something is missing, so I hope that after some years it will improve.
    Faculty: The teachers of our college are very intelligent, highly qualified, and authors of many books. One of the best things is the teaching skills of their knowledge related to farm machinery and agriculture, so this course is relevant. In our course of 4 years, there are 3 industrial training programs of 1, 2, and 3 months, due to this, students are ready to work in industry. The semester exam is something difficult, having 50 marks in fill in the blanks and true or false. The whole semester, out of 100 marks, we get 55 marks and we pass the exams.
    Other: I come from a farming background, and I have some interest in farm machinery, so I chose this course. The course is full of practical knowledge, which includes a training program, industrial visits, and project work. In my course, we study the subject of Civil Engineering, so I suggest reducing the subject related to the civil department. In our university, no event or fest is organized, but our university is the best from a study point of view, and there is no disturbance in academics. The campus is well-maintained, with greenery. Connectivity is not an issue, as Samastipur Railway Station is just 25 km away. For other state students, ICAR gives the NTS scholarship of Rs. 3,000 per month. Extracurricular activities involve sports and debate competitions.

    The college is best for studies, and teachers are well-educated.
    Placements: About 40% of students get placed through college placements. The highest package offered is around 8 LPA, while the lowest is 4 LPA. The top recruiting companies are TAFE Tractors and Pradhan. Around 40% of the placed students secure jobs at Pradhan, while approximately 60% get placed at TAFE Tractors.
    Infrastructure: The college has smart classrooms, a lecture theatre, virtual classrooms, computer labs, and a workshop for tractor and engineering work. All these facilities are available on campus. In the hostel, the food quality is average, and medical facilities are also provided. The hostel has Wi-Fi along with many other facilities are available.
    Faculty: Teachers have well knowledge in their respective fields and are very helpful. They support students with both personal and academic issues as much as they can. The course curriculum is highly relevant to practical work and helps students get better knowledge. Semester exams depend on the students. If they are hardworking, exams are not tough. Around 98% of students pass the exams easily.
    Other: I am interested in agricultural machines, which is why I chose this course. The best thing about this course is that it helps us understand the working principles of farm machinery and the problems faced by farmers. If someone wants to join the college for campus life, this may not be the right choice. However, for those who want to focus on studying, it is the best choice.

    Review of Dr. Rajendra Prasad Central Agricultural University.
    Placements: I am currently pursuing a B.Tech in Agricultural Engineering. It contains around 37 students, but the capacity is 44. Talking about placements, students often go for higher studies through GATE or CAT, but, there are placements. Companies like TAFE, Mahindra, Dehat, etc., come to our campus, offering an average package of around 3.5-4 LPA. The highest package is around 12 LPA.
    Infrastructure: Infrastructure is the best, according to Agricultural University. There is a library called the University Library, which contains around 4 lakh books. The Wi-Fi speed is excellent. There are gardens like Saraswati Garden, Biodiversity Park, Titli Park, T3 Park, and River Front. There is also a sports complex offering different sports like badminton, table tennis, volleyball, cricket, etc. The hostel is the best, and every basic facility is available there. There is also a university hospital for any medical emergency.
    Faculty: Here, faculty members are well qualified. They are mostly Ph.D. holders from top institutions like IITs, IARIs, etc. They are very helpful. Talking about the course, it is currently emerging and has a very vast future. The course is designed in such a way that students are automatically ready for agriculture with incorporated technology. Semester exams are not that tough. There are two exams they are Mid and End. The Mid exam is of 30 marks, and the End exam is of 50 marks.
    Other: The best things about this university are its garden and its hostel. They are very affordable. There is also a winter fest in our college called VRISTI. There is the Kisan Mela. Every year, different types of festivals are celebrated in our university. There are always different kinds of workshops happening. Talking about scholarships, ICAR provides NTS, which is Rs.3000 per month for UG students, but you have to maintain a minimum of 7 CGPA.

    Placements are not up to the mark, but infrastructure is quite good.
    Placements: There is no placement for biotechnology in our college. Although other courses provide placement, about 60-80% of students are placed each year. Infosys, Reliance, etc., are top recruiters. Education is good in terms of both theory and practical. They provide educational tours after the 2nd year.
    Infrastructure: There is a Wi-Fi connection in the library and in the hostel too. Different types of labs are present, like microbiology labs, plant tissue culture labs, etc. The library is well maintained with a variety of books. You can issue a book for 14 days. Classrooms have smart boards. Seminar rooms and smart rooms are also present.
    Faculty: Yeah, teachers are well educated and qualified. They are helpful too. You can ask for doubts regarding any subject to the respected teachers. 75 percent attendance is also compulsory. Semester exams are not that tough; they are moderate. You can pass exams by studying before the exam. The passing CGPA is above 5.
    Other: During the first month, Deekshaarambh takes place. There are extracurricular activities like sports, poster making, debate, blood camps, plantation, etc. A scholarship of 3000/- Rs is provided every month to the UG courses.

    This department is progressing in our college.
    Placements: As far as my knowledge, there have been no placements in this course for the past 4-5 years. But if the whole batch requests for the recruiting companies to Dean then some ways may appear. Krivco, and Kisan Pro are some of the examples of recruiting companies during the placements era. As I know, Rs. 10,000- Rs. 50,000 salary packages are common.
    Infrastructure: Our department is continuing to improve its infrastructure and provide practical labs for Tissue culture, Microbiology, Molecular Biology, and some others. It also owns a library which remains closed maximum times but if possible it is a proper place to utilise the gap period. Unfortunately, there's no Wi-Fi or I haven't identified its Wi-Fi in the department. Classrooms are average, some have defective fans while some have defective benches. There is a smart classroom also but there's is no switch to the inverter or generator during power off. The quality of facilities in our hostel is better than expected. There's a proper eye on hygiene and taste of foods in the mess. The canteen contains very few listed items. Medical facilities are average as there is a dispensary and many students do not find the right option to choose it. Sports and games are also available such as table tennis, shotput, race, kho-kho, etc.
    Faculty: Teachers are helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. However, students have to be clear about what they want to study today so that teachers can make a perfect interface with them. Their teaching quality is nice but most of them do not teach in depth. But if you ask for that, then they can. The course curriculum is relevant. Semester exams are not so tricky job. I ensure that if students attend the classes properly, then one night's study is enough to score well and without any cheating (It's tried and tested, so don't worry). The pass percentage is 6 CGPA for non-Bihar and 5.5 for Bihar students.
    Other: I chose this course according to my interest in biotechnology topic which covers the way to become a scientist and can provide products and services for nature welfare. Required number of events are organised according to the occasion, and Biotech Meet is one of the fests organised every year. This college also provides a stage to participate in dance, music, and literary events in the way of your interest. It provides scholarships to Bihar as well as non-Bihar if their semester-wise CGPA is above 5.5 and 6 respectively. College campus is so peaceful and there is greenery that every urban-crowdy person dreamed of.
