2Placements3Infrastructure4Faculty4Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

Good infrastructure but placements could have been better.

Placements: There is no college placement. It exists but very less students get placed like 4-7. All the placements have to be done offline. All the students seek for placement offline after completion of the course. The college has a placement cell but it is not very active in providing placements.

Infrastructure: They do have nice library facility but Wi-Fi is non functional. Canteen is average and sports facilities are average. Medical facility is not well-equipped. Classrooms do have AC and are well-equipped with mikes, but not all the classrooms.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful but politics is involved. All the teachers are well qualified and very experienced. Students are exposed to clinical practices and internships in the final year which are paid. Teachers help in every aspect of clinical practices.

My college is the best college .

Placements: Our college has a very high number of students. In my batch, the strength is 110, and the ratio of girls to boys is very high, so gender discrimination is not observed. Our college offers a very high-quality education with experienced professors. Companies like Venky's and other such companies recruit students from our college after graduation.

Infrastructure: Our hostels have full Wi-Fi facilities with good-quality internet. Our hostel also has a football field, where we often used to play in our free time. Our hostel food has a lot of variation, and the quality of the food is so good. Our hostel has good infrastructure.

Faculty: Our teachers are very experienced and have high qualifications. They are always ready to help us. We have been provided with hard copies of notes for every lecture we attend in the class. They conduct many exams to improve our skills and knowledge of paper solving.

Other: I chose this course because I am an animal lover and I want to serve those who can't express their pain. In our course, we wish to get a good amount of stipend as medical college students, as we also work very hard for the betterment and wellbeing of the animals.

B.Sc. (Hons.) in Agriculture (Agricultural Biotechnology) - Batch of 2027

Offered by College of Agriculture

2Placements3Infrastructure4Faculty3Crowd & Campus Life3Value for Money

Good faculty members and extra curriculum activities are best .

Placements: There are approximately 160 students in our batch, out of which a few students are given placements. Different companies are associated with the university to provide placement opportunities for graduates. From the 7th semester, students are required to do an internship; they are provided with 1.8LPA for a semester for RAWE (Rural Agricultural Work Experience) and the other semester is for ELP (Extended Learning Program), where we can choose either horticulture, animal husbandry, or tea.

Infrastructure: The departments are quite good; some of the departments are better than others. Some need renovation, while some are provided with maximum utilities. For example, the common theory classrooms are well-equipped with ACs, digital boards, and fans. Regarding the hostel, there are many hostels on our campus, but the hostel I’m staying in right now is very old and probably needs renovation. The walls and floors shake with the weight of just a few people walking. Also, there was a major issue with the water in our hostel—it was really dirty, but the Dean recently fixed that issue. Additionally, there is only one water purifier for more than 100 boarders. Otherwise, everything is just fine, but they tend to take in more boarders than they can accommodate.

Faculty: The teachers are really good and qualified. The students learn properly from them, except there are some teachers who are not good at teaching. However, they do try their best, so it's fine. Additionally, it's easy to approach the teachers, which makes it easier for students.

Other: The events and extracurricular activities are the best on this campus. This course is also excellent if you want to enjoy your life while studying, as it provides exposure to the outside world.
