Review of College of Horticulture, Thrissur - Kerala Agriculture University.

Placements: Above 500 students are studying from first-year to 4th-year. The highest package is 18 LPA and the lowest package is 2 LPA.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is available in the hostel and classrooms. Labs are available for each subject. Classrooms are high-tech with projector facilities. It has a central library and a college library. High-quality food and favorite menus are available in the mess. It has cricket, football, volleyball, badminton and basketball grounds.

Faculty: High-quality doctorate teachers take classes for all students. Semester exams are easy to pass. Students should score 40 out of 100 to pass. It is not like an engineering college. In this course, it is easy to score marks and pass this course without supplementary.

B.Tech. in Biotechnology - Batch of 2028

Offered by College of Agriculture, Vellayani - Kerala Agricultural University

5Placements5Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

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.

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.

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.
