College has good infrastructure and a crowd. Placements are low. Hostel food is average.

Placements: Placement in our college is pretty low. Average salary package offered is 6 LPA. Companies that come for placements are generally seed and fertilizer companies. Only 20-30% of the students get placed. There is an internship programme in the 4th year.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure of the college is pretty good. Buildings are well-structured and there are plenty of facilities here. Most of the classrooms have AC. We have a huge library containing useful books for our course. There is a cafeteria in the college. Hostel infrastructure is good, but the hostel food is not average.

Faculty: Teachers are very knowledgeable, and they have good teaching skills. Most of the teachers are OUAT graduates. HoDs of different departments are OUAT retired professors. Senior teachers are non-friendly, but the young teachers are very helpful and friendly. Semester exams are quite easy, one can ace them with only a week of preparation. Passing percentage is 40%.

Other: I chose this course because I have an interest in agriculture, and it has various opportunities in future. Best thing about the course is that it is very interesting. I hope the placements were better. Throughout the year, we have multiple fests going on. Fests are the best part of our college life. surroundings of the campus are clean and aesthetic.

Just an average college with good education but bad placements.

Placements: Very few students get placed. Around 11 students out of 400 are placed in our placement session. The highest package is 6 LPA. The lowest package is 3 LPA. The average package is 3.5 LPA. Top recruiting company is Accenture. All the students from our course are provided with internships under KUS program which is generally a government program. No such roles are created for any students.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is available in hostels but absent in classrooms. All the required laboratories are there. Library is there with course-related books. Food quality is average with non-veg options. No such medical facilities are there for us, coz SUM Hospital is near our campus (1.5 KM). For sports, grounds are under preparation and within 5 months we can expect it to get accomplished.

Faculty: Teachers are qualified and most of them are graduates from OU. Teaching quality is good. The course does not make students industry-ready as it is related to science theory, not production level-based. Semester exams are easy. One needs 50% to get pass on the paper.

Other: Best thing about this course is to know the science related to plants. Better placements can motivate students to study better. Events are organised frequently. Campus life is average as it is situated 1 KM away from the market area. Extracurricular activities like singing, dance, cricket practice, and photography are provided.

I am dissatisfied and very sad with this course.

Placements: 80% of students get placed in our course. The average package offered is 2 LPA. Teaching is the only scope here. We can also apply for civil services and banking, but most students opt for an M.Sc or MBA and then a PhD. Hardly any campus placements are there.

Infrastructure: Food was 4 out of 10, and very limited facilities are given. College infrastructure is fine, but many classrooms don’t have a proper fan, making it really unbearable to attend classes. Further, only 40% of teachers are friendly, the rest are very strict.

Faculty: Teachers are very qualified, but the course curriculum is not relevant. We attend exams after every 1 month, and we complete a 6-month course in 4-5 months mostly. Further, no study trips are conducted. The assigned semester exams are normal. Further, only 40% of teachers are friendly, and the rest are very strict.

Other: My father recommended me, so I pursued this course, but there is no such best thing here. I wish they could use a practical way of making students understand it. Events are not organised here.

I am dissatisfied with placements. The faculty members and the course are good.

Placements: The placement percentage of our college is very bad, i.e., around 7%. Companies like Accenture visited our college but only 8 students got placed. The package offered to them is 2.8 LPA. All the students were provided with internships in the KUS (Krushi Unnat Sahayogi) program, ICAR, and FPO.

Infrastructure: Hostels are spacious and comfortable but lack certain facilities. It provides four-sharing AC rooms which are affordable because two-sharing AC rooms cost Rs. 90,000 which is quite expensive. The infrastructure of the course is good as provided with Wi-Fi, labs, classrooms, and the library.

Faculty: Faculty members are highly qualified, and some are OUAT graduates. The course curriculum is good and interesting. Semester exams are conducted every 4.5-5 months and mid-semester exams are conducted every 2-2.5 months. Semester exams are easy to crack with overnight study only and 50% is the minimum requirement.

Other: The best thing about the course is practical exposure The course is practical-based but still some subject tasks for notebook update on a regular basis which is just a time waste as we can study through PDF and printouts. Functions like ARRNA and Spradha are hosted which are annual functions and annual spots of the college. It also conducts Saraswati Puja, Ganesh Puja, and Biswakarma Puja. The campus crowd is moderate and friendly. Scholarships are also provided. It has different clubs for photography, music, dance, etc.
