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. Food processing is a high-quality job. 90% of students get internships after completion of the course. The farm officer's role is offered in placements after completion of the course.

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.

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.

3Placements5Infrastructure5Faculty4Crowd & Campus Life4Value for Money

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.

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.

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.
