Faculty is good and cooperative, except, average placements. The infrastructure is good.

Placements: It's a good college in terms of campus selection, but there are limited seats available, and a number of students are very high because there is no entrance exam for most faculty members. Some good companies like Mother Dairy have enrolled in their internship program. A company like Star is also coming for campus selection, so it's good in terms of campus selection.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is well designed, such as a well-managed library, seminar hall, etc. You can get good quality food in the mess and canteen. Medical facilities are available. There are bigger and tech-loaded classrooms available, such as a projector class and a webinar hall.

Faculty: Teachers are qualified, knowledgeable, and helpful. Some of them are rude, maybe because of their ego. The courses are of a high standard, as set by government agencies. Students need more practical knowledge to become industry-ready. The student needs a certificate, which teachers can manage.

The college is very awesome.

Placements: I don't know the exact percentage of students who are placed in a company but at least 150 students get placed under a company every year. The highest package that is offered in my course is around 22 LPA, and the average package is about 6-7 LPA. To be honest, I don't know the company's name, but they are kind of agrochemical companies and they generally belong to Haryana, Gujarat, Assam and Pune. In the government sector, generally people go for a forest officer and food inspector and in private, there are field administrative officers, and many posts are offered by the companies.

Infrastructure: There are several kinds of facilities offered in my course & infrastructure, as the infrastructure is very good. Classes are taken over a smart board and the lab practicals are also done by the professor so that we can resolve our queries and perform well in exams. In my college, there are also Wi-Fi facilities is also offered and there is a huge library where a variety of books is offered to us, which saves our money as expensive books are offered to us without any cost, which saves our money.

Faculty: The teachers are very helpful, qualified, and well knowledgeable, and their teaching quality is excellent as they make sure that each and every student's doubt is cleared so that he or she can perform well in exams. The teachers are very supportive of us; if you are a good student, then they can definitely help me. The course is curriculum relevant and myriad varieties of courses are offered in each and every semester, which makes it ready for industrial use, and it helps us to explore more as compared to other courses. If we talk about the exam, which is held in our college, the difficulty level of the exam is moderate; if you study well, then you can get a good mark easily, and around 50% is required for passing the subject for each and every subject. If you are below 50%, then you have just failed.

Other: Actually, I belong to the biology sector, so that's why I had to choose this agriculture course, as I am interested in plants and animals. Generally, I am interested in plants, like how the activities are done in a plant body, how they reproduce, how they just multiply and how the exchange of gases occurs. There are several things in which I am interested and know about these things so that's why I chose this course. There are various types of events and extracurricular activities organized in college, which is very helpful for the student and government scholarships are offered to the student, which provide students with financial relief. Various types of events are organized, which make sure that the socialization is also in progress.
