Dissatisfied hostels but the great campus life and placement at PAU.
Placements: Getting placed here is quite easy due to the strong alumni network within the university. The seniors are very helpful, and there are no issues with ego among them. Alumni of PAU are spread across top universities around the globe and are eager to offer assistance.
Infrastructure: The overall infrastructure of the institution is good, but the hostels are in poor condition. Some renovation work has now been initiated, so we hope for improvements soon. The Wi-Fi system functions well, classes are engaging, and the mess food is satisfactory—there have been no issues in that regard. Additionally, the sports facilities are excellent.
Faculty: The courses offered are not overly challenging. Teachers are supportive and helpful in explaining new topics. They maintain a positive demeanor and do not have anger issues. The practical sessions are beneficial in encouraging students to grasp concepts more easily.

Dissatisfied with placements last year, good infrastructure and facilities .
Placements: You have to crack the entrance test for admissions in any of the courses here. Top ranks will be selected, around 40 seats for general and then reserved seats. This is a 4 year degree programme where you'll learn almost about every stream. Great scope in India as well as abroad. You are eligible for the ADO and HDO exams after this degree completion. You can also be a food inspector, soil inspection officer and many more. Also recruited by various food processing industries. Great opportunities in agribusiness. University have CGPA system, 7 or more than 7 capable is considered good.
Infrastructure: Good infrastructure having all the facilities like washrooms, Wi-Fi, canteens, individual book banks for all different departments. Have Asia's the largest library in the campus. Labs with international class equipments. But hostels are not so good, old buildings with a lot of damages. Quality of food in mess is average. Medical facilities are also not so good. Great infrastructure for sports but no so good coaches. You'll have both the options for NSO and NSS. You'll have all hockey stadium, cricket ground, cycling velodrome, swimming pools, gym, athletic tracks and all type of games.
Faculty: Faculty is too good. All the teachers are Ph.D. scholars and scientists. Habe a great research experience and well-equipped with practical knowledge also. Digital teaching technologies also available. But have very hectic lecture schedules and tough examination system. You've to go through 4 rounds of exams in 6 month semester I. e first hourly exams, mid term exams, practical exams and then end term examswith a Vast syllabus. Many of the courses make you industry ready and many will prepare you for lab and field work. This will also help in civil service jobs.
Other: Our country is agriculture leading nation and more than 60% of our population depends upon agricultural income directly or indirectly. Therefore have a great scope and opportunity in this field.
