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.

It is an amazing college. Everyone should definitely join this college.
Placements: B.Tech. in Biotechnology is a highly demanded course. There are 50% of students are placed after taking this course. The minimum salary of a biotechnology engineer is 10 LPA. Top companies are Pfizer, GlaxoSmithKline, etc. It provides skills development. Students develop practical knowledge, critical thinking, quantitative aptitude, and conceptual skills.
Infrastructure: Our course mainly focuses on agriculture biotechnology. So agriculture-based infrastructure is high. It provides Wi-Fi, a library, different types of laboratories, and facilitated classrooms. The hostel is good. It provides a mess and canteen at food affordable rates.
Faculty: Faculty members in our college are very superb. The minimum qualification for every teacher is PhD. Semester exams are not that much difficult. We get a moderate-level question paper. 50% score is safe. There are regular semester exams at the end of a semester. There are retakes of exams for students who may have failed or need to improve their grades.
Other: Biotechnology is a highly relevant and developing course worldwide. In India, it is still improving. In our college, all extracurricular activities are occured. My college gives importance to both academic and extracurricular activities.

Faculty members are good. Placement is not very much. The infrastructure and hostel are good.
Placements: To be honest, a very less percentage of students get placed in our college. The main two reasons for this are that a majority of students prefer higher studies and a less number of companies come for campus placements. However, companies will come if we consistently contact them and show enthusiasm for jobs rather than higher studies. Some banks, tractor companies, and irrigation companies are the top recruiting companies.
Infrastructure: Compared to all other government colleges, I would say our college provides better infrastructure and hostel facilities with good quality food. The college also supports students in sports and games by helping them participate in inter-agricultural national level and South Zone level competitions.
Faculty: Faculty members are very good at teaching and provide immense support. The curriculum is relevant to the present scenario, as the new syllabus includes courses like artificial intelligence. It also gives students a chance to get a Diploma Certificate if they are interested in leaving the course after 1 or 2 years. Semester exams are quite difficult. But it is not a difficult task even for a below-average student to pass.
