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.

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.
Infrastructure: The library was good, and the staff was also supportive. There was only one hostel for girls, which had comfortable accommodation, and the food quality was also good. Sports activities were conducted once a year. Canteen food was great when it came to meals and junk food.
Faculty: The curriculum was quite dynamic, but it needed to be more connected to technology. Teachers were helpful. Semester exams were of medium-level difficulty. The pass percentage was 55% in UG, whereas in PG it was 65%. UG in Horticulture was good, but I wouldn't recommend this campus for a Master's.
Other: I chose this course because I was a meritorious student. The best thing was that I came to know about the importance of everything around me. Events and extracurricular were good.

Candidates' performance in the 10+2 exam is the main factor used to determine their admission to the Dr. Y. S. Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry's B.Tech (Biotechnology) program. To be eligible, students must take Physics, Chemistry, and Biology/Mathematics.

Usually, the admission cut-off is in the neighborhood of 30 out of 50. It's crucial to remember that the cutoff may change from year to year based on a variety of variables, including the volume of applications, the number of seats available, and the exam's difficulty level. Prospective students should familiarize themselves with the most recent information supplied by the university.Certain seats are reserved by some universities for students who only fulfill the minimal requirements. 

However, since merit ranks are typically given priority, meeting the absolute minimum cutoffs might not guarantee a seat, particularly in popular programs.
Apart from academic scores, residence requirements can affect eligibility and admission chances for state agricultural universities such as Dr YSP UHF. In summary, the competitive merit ranks of a given year would determine an applicant's actual chances of admission, even though minimum cutoffs might make one eligible to apply.
