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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
