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.

Free Wi-Fi is provided after filling out the Wi-Fi form. Hostels are in very good condition and the food served is very good as our college takes strict action against a healthy diet. Many canteens are available. They serve Maggi, shakes, chappati, curry, pizza, and pasta. Nescafe and LPM are my favorites. Hostel wardens are friendly. Students interested in physical activities can join hockey, badminton, cricket, swimming, cycling, gym, shooting, tennis, and basketball. There is a separate area for every sport. Students can join NSO which is related to sports. Our college has a special hospital for treating the PAU staff. Students can check their weight, take any medicine, and can get an X-ray. The environment of our college is pleasant.

If students work hard, they can score well. Every student will be passed out.
Other: I chose this course because of my interest in nature. Students learn many things in this course about tropical, sub-tropical, and temperate fruits and vegetables. It has broadened my knowledge about ornamental plants and forestry. I served as a national service scheme volunteer for two years and helped farmers and villagers with rural agricultural work experience. Many scholarships are provided to needy students. Students can work part-time and earn money for their education. They can participate in youth fest and Kisan mela which are the main events organised in our college every year.
