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.

This campus is average in everything, and find something better for yourself.

Placements: Actually, there was no placement cell on this campus. The majority of students went on to pursue Master's degrees. Nobody got direct placements from the campus or any sort of internship here. Most students pursued Master's and an MBA from NITs and IIMs.

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.

If you have good friends company then you'll enjoy.

Placements: Our batch is 2023-2027. There are 59 students in my class and half of them are paid seats whereas half class has normal seats. There are no salary packages offered in our college but we can give competitive exams. Range officer is the top role offered in this course but we can give other government job exams too like HAS and banking.

Our college is still developing, with good teachers and fields for practical work.

Placements: There are no placements in this college. If you are going to take admission to this college, you have to prepare for exams and higher studies. You have to study hard to clear the basic doubts that help you in further studies.
