Fully satisfactory university.

Placements: There are almost 200 seats at PAU for B.Sc. (Hons) agriculture 2+4 years. This is the best university for agriculture students. It also offers good packages as the persons in my known are well settled in America, Canada, and they are earning good around 100000 $.

Infrastructure: All the facilities are available but the some hostel which is given to first year students is average, and that hostel has 3S rooms. But in second year another hostel is allotted to students, and that are too good than that of 1st year, and that hostel has big rooms.

Faculty: Teachers are quite good there. They are well educated and have a lot of knowledge. They guide us in a good way. Semester exam's difficulty level is medium but it depends on our studies too. Passing percentage is 50% to clear course, overall 50% marks are required.

Other: I chose B.Sc. (Hons) agriculture 2+4 year course, and I completed my 2 years. My experience was quite good and I also scored good over these 2 years.

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.

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.

Everything about the College of Agricultural Engineering and PAU is positive.

Placements: Placements are really good here. If you have scored a good CGPA or even less, they will provide you placements if you don't want to continue your studies further. About 35 students get placed every year among 80 because others continue their studies in M.Tech.

Infrastructure: The hostels are really not good, but the mess food is awesome. Classes are good, but in summer they are exhausting because they don’t have AC in the classrooms. Otherwise, there is a problem of leakage in some classes. Some creativity is also shown in the classrooms as the infrastructure is unique.

Faculty: Exams are taken three times in a semester: hourly, mid, and final. The final exams are the toughest; the others are easy to pass. Teachers are good and helpful; they have a lot of experience, and their way of teaching is good. The seniors are also very helpful, and there is no ragging in the whole PAU.

Other: You will get a lot of opportunities here in every field. In whichever area you are good, you can participate very easily. It is a very open environment here, and every five students are provided with one advisor to help with any problems they may have.
