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.

Really good infrastructure and facilities with very well educated and friendly faculty members.
Placements: About 70% of our students have been placed in jobs. The lowest salary offered was 30,000, and the highest was 4-5 lakhs. The top recruiting companies are located in Australia. There are many opportunities offered by our course, and it is an emerging topic in this world.
Infrastructure: The classrooms are well-equipped with smart boards, blackboards, air conditioning, and high-speed Wi-Fi. The computer lab and library are well-equipped, and the hostel rooms are large and well-equipped. The food in the mess is only average, but there is a lot of encouragement for sports and arts, which supports our co-curricular activities.
Faculty: The course curriculum is very relevant to the emerging problems in our world. The teachers are very well educated and helpful, and provide sources for the syllabus and internship opportunities. Semester exams are not that difficult, but they make sure that relevant questions are included. A 50% score is required to pass.
Other: I chose this course because I didn't score high enough on the entrance exam to get into my preferred field, which is agriculture. However, this course is a relevant and interesting topic that made me choose it. I think this course should be given more importance in our country. Every festival in our country is celebrated in a sustainable and economical way. The college is not very crowded and has a very good environment with lots of plants. It also supports extracurricular activities such as arts and sports.
