Q: What is the highest package for B.Tech students at RPCAU, Bihar?

Hello Nishar Ahmed, Dr Rajendra Prasad Central Agricultural University at Pusa, Samastipur, Bihar even though formed only in 2016, can trace it's origin to an agricultural research institute formed way back in 1905. It's predecessor, started engineering graduation courses in the year 1982 and presently it admits about 60 students every year. Unfortunately for whatever reasons, it's NAAC grading is only D. This perhaps hinders top recruiters from reaching there during placements season. But then it's other Science streams are quite well known and different companies do send people to recruit students. However the data released about placements statistics is for all undergraduate streams put together. From this, and from some other data points, it emerges that the median package offered was about 4LPA. One can extrapolate this to find the highest and the lowest packages.

Best wishes to you.
