Best college for nature lovers.

Placements: It does not provide many placements. Placements are rare after completing the master’s degree, except for an MBA in Agribusiness Management. However, it provides enough knowledge and skills for government exams and agricultural entrepreneurship. Basically, one should not keep any hope of placements from here after B.Sc.

Infrastructure: Courses are nicely designed according to the New Education Policy. They provide enough knowledge, skills, and experience in horticulture. From smart classes to fieldwork, they offer good skills and experience. Hostels are okay, not very modern, but livable.

Faculty: Most faculty have completed their education at the same university, so they are very familiar with university life. All teachers and staff are well-trained and has good behavior. Exams are conducted twice each semester, and there is low pressure to study.

Good infrastructure but faculty and placements are not good.

Placements: Most students of forestry here prepare themselves for exams like range officer and IFS. They got internships in college projects. If students complete their Ph.D. from this college, they have a chance to get jobs as professors here only. For horticulture students, there is a vast scope.

Infrastructure: There are 2 hostels for girls. One is near to our college. The other is near the center of the city of Hamirpur. There are smart classrooms, labs, and a library. There is a big ground for sports. Basketball, volleyball, football, badminton, table tennis, and other athletics are available.

Faculty: All teachers are qualified and provide good sources of knowledge. They provide notes and all the materials which are necessary for students. The difficulty of semester exams is not too much. The pass percentage is pretty good. Maximum students pass semester examinations.

Other: Many events and fests are held in our college.

Satisfactory surroundings of college.

All hostel facilities are available. Food in canteen and mess is good. A cafeteria is provided and a canteen is also on campus. Study facilities are pretty good, surroundings of college are not very good. Uniforms are compulsory, Wi-Fi facilities are not for students.

Faculty: Some teachers are very good and helpful, and the teaching faculty is good. Semester exams are average and not very difficult. Course curriculum is relevant and it provides basic information also and content for competitive exams. It makes students industry-ready but not completely.

Overall, it's a good college, if infrastructure is neglected.

Placements: The first batch of this course in our university didn't pass out yet, so I can't say about placements. From the main campus, the placement rate is good. All the students are provided with adviser, and under their advisory, any individual can fulfill his dream of becoming whatever he/she want to become.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is not much mesmerizing, it's just below average. The faculty members are awesome, and your overall experience will be fine. This branch of Dr. Y. S. Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni Solan, was established in the year 2018, and right now, we don't have our own infrastructure, but PRTI, Thunag, has given some of their buildings to us.

Faculty: The faculty members are young and energetic. They are well-qualified and knowledgeable. The course is of 4 years (8 semesters). We have 8-10 subjects per semester. Every semester, we have mid-term exams, practical exams and end-semester exams.
