Review of B.Sc. (Hons.) Horticulture in PAU.

Placements: Top recruiting companies for PAU in agribusiness, banking, and food processing are Amul, John Deere, Nestlé, and ITC. Other companies such as Axis Bank. The top role offered in my course is HDO (Horticulture Development Officer) which is a government employee.

Infrastructure: There are 5 different lecture rooms, fully air-conditioned, and smart classrooms. PAU owns its own hospital for medical services, and different playgrounds for sports activities and indoor games are also available. The library is well-maintained by providing proper computer systems to the students. It has a different reading section also.

Faculty: Teachers are well qualified and the best in teaching. Semester exams are so easy that anyone can pass easily. The exams are held in 4 parts hourly, mid-term, practical, and finals. The numbers are divided among all these. The maximum pass percentage is 50 percent. A student can easily grab 70 percent in every course.

Other: Events and fests come every month, and extracurricular activities happen after 3-4 months.

PAU is full of opportunities and research.

Placements: There are not many options after a B.Sc. (Hons.) in Horticulture, and we can either study further, or we can prepare for job exams. The scope is very prominent in horticulture but placements are very low as there are not many jobs for B.Sc in Horticulture. We have to do a master's degree in order to get a job.

Infrastructure: The university is very big and it comprises many different colleges. The campus is spread over 1,600 acers. Classrooms are also fully furnished and all studies are done by projector PPT based. It has one of the biggest libraries in Punjab. Hostels are in liveable conditions and not very lavish.

Faculty: Teachers are very supportive and educative. They help at every turn of our course. It has a very unique system of allotting advisors to every group of 10 students who will help and solve all of our problems. Exams are just going on all year, and we are tested every 1 and a half months.

It has broadened my knowledge about ornamental plants and forestry.
