It is a good college with average placements. You will experience the best greenery on campus.
Placements: In our batch, nearly 20 were placed in multinational companies. The highest salary package is up to 8 LPA, and the lowest is 3 LPA. The top recruiters are Gyan, Amul, VNR seeds, Infosys, etc. About 35 students got internships at ICRISAT, IIPR, and various private companies related to the department.
Infrastructure: Labs are well-equipped, and classrooms have good infrastructure. The university has a central library, and each specialisation has a separate library with good references. The central library now provides CAB abstracts too. The facilities of the hostel are fine. The quality of food in the mess and canteen is good, with reasonable prices.
Faculty: Teachers are helpful and friendly. They are well qualified. They have good knowledge and good English proficiency. Exams are easy to a little tough, but we can write the exams with good practice. The college offers great books in the library, which are so helpful during exam time.
Other: The campus provides various cultural fests, sports meets, an NSS scheme, and many other extracurricular activities. I chose the course Genetics and Plant Breeding, which has good scope for a B.Sc. agriculture student who can work as a plant breeder.
