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.

Best college for pursuing MBA!

Placements: As a current MBA student at Kerala Agricultural University, I've observed that approximately 85% of students from my batch were successfully placed in various reputed companies. The highest package offered was around INR 12 Lacs per annum, whereas the lowest package was around INR 4.5 Lacs per annum. The average package stood at approximately INR 6.5 Lacs per annum. The top recruiting companies for our course include multinational corporations such as Deloitte, TCS, Infosys, HDFC Bank, and ICICI...

Placements need to be improved.

Placements: Placements were not up to the mark. Majority of the students got placed in banking firms. I don't know about placement rates. We have a placement cell, but as I said earlier, they need to provide more opportunities. They can invite more companies to our campus for placements.

A truthful review for my waiting friends.

Placements: I'm not interested in going for a job after M.Sc. I want to continue my studies further so, I never bother about placements. But placements are very poor in my opinion, because we are getting under employment placements therefore most of the students are opting for Ph.D. Banks, IBPS, UPSC.

Absolutely satisfied with renowned faculty and infrastructure.

Placements: Most of the students in KCAET were well placed in food industries such as Hatsun, Jubilant Food Works, Kohinoor, etc. But most of them opted for higher studies in foreign countries such as New Zealand, Canada and Australia. However, it's our honour to be blessed with good alumni. The salary packages offered were decent and ranged between 1.5 LPA to 3 LPA. Students were offered roles such as production executive, quality controller, and also R&D executive. Most of the students got internships in ...

Everything is good like teachers library infrastructure etc.

Placements: Some of our seniors got a job through campus placement. VST Tillers, Kirloskar Pumps and such companies are offering jobs here. In VST Tillers, they treated our agricultural engineers as a Technical Trainer. The salary offered by them is 13,000 and an extra 500 for food and accommodation per day. Almost all the final year students do their internship programme during the last semester as an inplant training. At this time, we get 8,000 as a stipend.
