Infrastructure: There were lots of facilities in our department. Like Wi-Fi labs, smart classes, library. The Wi-Fi speed was more than 5 mb that is enough for a student.

M.Sc. in Plant Pathology - Batch of 2022

3Placements4Infrastructure3Faculty4Crowd & Campus Life4Value for Money

I am satisfied with all the facilities, but there should be some improvement.

Placements: About 30% of students are placed. The highest salary offered is Rs. 60000 per month and the lowest is Rs. 20000 per month. Top recruiting companies include IFFCCO, Biostadt, Bayer, Synginta, and Root2Fruit. People are working as territory managers, marketing managers, agricultural graduate trainees, etc.

Infrastructure: Our college provides well-developed facilities. Wi-Fi and a library are available. The hostel is moderate, with separate halls for vegetarian and non-vegetarian students. There is a canteen that is open the majority of the time with all the fast food and necessary items.

Faculty: Teachers are well-qualified with specialised knowledge in subjects. They are helpful and friendly. Our course curriculum is as per ICAR. It needs little improvement when it comes to industry-related issues. Exams are easy. The pass percentage is 50%.

Other: I chose this course because it has good scope in agriculture, and India is an agricultural country, so we have flexibility. New labs and technologies should be introduced, and more practical knowledge should be given as per international standards. Faculty members host different events, and different days are celebrated every week. The campus is not that crowded. The campus is near the Kupwara-Sopore highway, so connectivity is good and surroundings are peaceful with an army camp on one side. Toppers are given scholarships every semester. They are based on the grades you get on semester exams.

M.Sc. in Agronomy - Batch of 2022

3Placements4Infrastructure4Faculty4Crowd & Campus Life4Value for Money

Satisfied with all the facilities, yet there is always room for improvement.

Placements: Our batch had 120 students, and 60 of them joined Master's, and the rest opted for different fields. About 30% of students got placed in pesticide and fertilizer companies like Bayer, Root 2 Fruit, Biostad, etc., as marketing managers, sales officers, territory managers etc. The average package offered was 30,000 per month, the lowest salary was 15,000, and the highest salary is 45,000 per month. 3 people got jobs in IFFCO and a few in FPO in NAFED as CEO. However, there were only a few government jobs. Placements still demand more improvements as 40% percent is very less.

Infrastructure: The whole course outline is as per the guidelines of ICAR, and every subject is taught by well-qualified research scholars and teachers. We have smart classrooms in every department, yet labs require more improvement. We have many books and research material in libraries, but it is not open 24/7, and it requires more space. The whole campus is Wi-Fi enabled. Hostels are connected with wire and wireless Wi-Fi. Hostels are good when it comes to hygiene and facilities, and there is regular maintenance. There are 4 mess facilities, 2 for UG, 1 for PG, and 1 vegetarian mess. Students have the power to control what they want to eat in the mess. Although there is a canteen, that needs an improvement in the menu. You can get basic food items whenever you want. Every hostel has a proctor, and there is a dispensary and an ambulance available. The campus has enough space for both indoor and outdoor games.

Faculty: Teachers are well qualified and helpful. They use the simplest way possible to make us understand things. Their teaching quality keeps improving. The whole curriculum is relevant, and it has been developed as per the guidelines of ICAR. We have courses that make students industry-ready, like soft skills, computer science, entrepreneurship etc. Each semester has mid-term and end-term exams, and they are moderate. The pass percentage is 50% in UG and 60% in PG.

Other: Agriculture, being the backbone of India, is an emerging science, and we need to strengthen our economy with this. Agriculture also gives many job opportunities in both the government and private sectors and banks. There is a lot to do when it comes to research in agriculture. So, this is the future. More practical knowledge and industry-related courses should be included to make students aware of the latest happenings and trends in this area where they can improve and contribute. The college is in the Baramulla district, a village called Wadura. It is directly connected with the Sopore-Handwara highway. There are about 1000 students pursuing degrees in agriculture. The campus is over an area of 93 hectares, so the place is not much crowded. Extracurricular activities are conducted here.

B.Sc. (Hons.) in Horticulture - Batch of 2023

3.8

2Placements5Infrastructure4Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life3Value for Money

I am absolutely satisfied with everything.

Placements: There are very few opportunities like placement drives, campus jobs, etc. IFFCO and FIL industries are the main recruiters. Some students got internships at Cornell, some got at fil, and some at Bayer.

Infrastructure: It is an mesmerising campus and an excellent hostel for both boys and girls. Hostel life is excellent with all the basic facilities like water, electricity, playground, lights, books, library, orchards, etc. The quality of food is excellent not to be messed with tasty and nutritious.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. Teaching quality is excellent. Experiments are less frequently done for UG. The curriculum makes students somewhat market-ready. Exams are very difficult, hectic, and stressful. Around 98% pass the exams.

Other: I like plants. More jobs, more practical learning, and everything are fine.

Faculty is good, course is new, and the saturation in the course is limited.

Placements: About 50% of our students are graduated from the university. The salary offered is Rs.30000 per month for the students who are assigned as contractual professors in the university. Private companies also recruit students. I don't know about the percentage of students who got internships at farms. Ornamental fish manager and assistant marine biologist are the top roles offered.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is new and excellent with the smart monitors in every classroom. Wi-Fi is available on campus and in the hostel. The library is excellent and almost every study material regarding fisheries science is available. The hostel is excellent and new for both girls and boys. Both non-vegetarian and vegetarian food varieties are available. The canteen isn't present on campus. Medical facilities are limited as there aren't many students. Sports activities aren't present too.

Faculty: Faculty members at our university are highly reputed, new, and helpful. Almost every faculty member has done a Ph.D. in different fields of fisheries and some are highly knowledgeable. The teaching quality is good. Some teachers give more focus on practical work which is a plus point. The curriculum is as per ICAR regulated. It also gives you knowledge regarding entrepreneurship opportunities in the fisheries sector. Internal exams of the semester are average. External papers of semesters are settled by ICAR which are a bit tough. The pass percentage is almost 70%.

Other: The university is located in a hilly area so there are no cafeterias and restaurants.
