B.Sc. in Agriculture - Batch of 2025
Offered by College of Agriculture, Vellayani - Kerala Agricultural University
3.6
2Placements4Infrastructure4Faculty4Crowd & Campus Life4Value for Money
Unlock opportunities for agriculture through KAU.
Placements: I am in my final year (2021 batch). The percentage of placements is nearly 10%. Mostly placements are for B.Tech biotechnology students in the college. For B.Sc. hons agriculture, it is basically more of research oriented. So there won't be any placements like B.Tech programs. But you get opportunities to get into farm officer posts and other companies if your performance is good. If you could clear PSC, UPSC IBPS, and various posts are there for agri graduates.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is not really that bad. There are enough facilities for accommodation for both girls and boys. The food is also quite good and mess is run by students themselves. The lab facilities are also good but still, developments are needed as many equipment aren't properly working. There is enough exposure to the field during the course period.
Faculty: Teachers are really qualified and friendly. They really encourage students to pursue a writing career. The classes are of good quality with English as the medium of communication. The current syllabus is entirely updated with subjects like artificial intelligence and nanotechnology. The field exposure and skill development courses are also added to the new curriculum.
Other: The campus life is really worth each penny compared with the same courses offered in other universities and private colleges outside Kerala. There are enough campus fests and programs that make students engaged and stress-free from academics. There are opportunities for arts and music on the eco-friendly campus.

B.Sc. in Agriculture - Batch of 2028
Offered by College of Agriculture, Vellayani - Kerala Agricultural University
4.2
3Placements4Infrastructure4Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money
Really great course. Highly recommend.
Placements: Campus placement is very low. You'll have to write a government exam or apply for interviews on your own. But jobs in the public sector and private sector are plenty, so it won't be that hard to get a job if you have decent grades, and there is still placement in companies like Cadbury, Reliance, Tata, etc. It'll be great since it's a very diverse field, and you'll get jobs from pharmaceuticals to food companies. Also, you could do UPSC; many people do that too.
Infrastructure: College infrastructure is very good, but hostel infrastructure is only okay-ish. There is Wi-Fi, labs for every department, and a huge library. Well-maintained toilets are there. The UG building for B.Sc. Agriculture is new, and it's all well-kept. Classrooms have projectors, platforms, and podiums, and each class has like 4 or 5 ACs too.
Faculty: From the 2024 batch onwards, the syllabus has changed according to the Sixth Dean Commission, and according to the course, it got easier under the new NEP. It's more of a skill-oriented course now, and you'll have a lot to do more than studying. You'll get hands-on experience in major agriculture aspects and related fields. It's a very good course, giving you peace of mind. We have theory classes for 100 minutes a day, practical for 90 minutes, and another 90 minutes for fieldwork. That's how our classes are going in Semester 1. Also, there is an all-India tour in the 3rd year. All the facilities are amazing, and they all have doctorates.
Other: Well, I chose this course by chance when I didn’t get admission to medical, but there’s no reason for having any regret. This course is also the best there is, and you'll have a lot of fun studying and spending time with your friends in the fields in the mud. It'll be like how it was in childhood again. Right now, I don’t feel anything should improve; it’s the best there is. Events are wonderful here, and seniors are great. They're very supportive, encouraging, and helpful. We have a very good cricket pitch where India vs. Australia U19 took place in 2008, and we have an indoor stadium.

Satisfied with faculty members, infrastructure, and facilities.
Placements: This college actually does not provide placements. But has a high scope in future due to changing climatic conditions. Everyone is supposed to go for internships in their 3rd or 4th year. This college exposes students to various conferences of the same so that students get better jobs.
Infrastructure: The college infrastructure is good. There is a library and also a central library on campus. There is full-time Wi-Fi connection in college. The printing and copy-taking facilities are provided in this college. Labs are spacious enough for a batch of 15 students and have necessary items in them.
Faculty: Teachers and other guest faculty members are highly qualified and knowledgeable. They are open-minded and helpful to every student. The course curriculum is very relevant and prepares us to hire at any vacancy where we can apply our subject knowledge.
Other: Our batch has 12 students at present but can hold upto 30 students. Faculty members are good. There are two new introduced courses like integrated microbiology and integrated biology in this college.
