Satisfaction and good infrastructure.
Placements: In B.Sc. Agriculture, we have 400 students, with 125 members in each section. The highest package offered was 13 lacs per annum, and the lowest was 4 lacs per annum. The top recruiting companies are VNR Seeds, Amul, Godrej, Bayer, and many more. Top roles include lab assistant, field assistant, HR, and management.
Infrastructure: The college is spread across 1160 acres. We have Wi-Fi, labs, classrooms, a library, a poultry farm, a dairy farm, and fields. Both North and South Indian food is available. We have an international hostel and mess with air conditioning. There is a college hospital for medical purposes. We can play games, and tournaments and annual sports meets are held.
Faculty: The teachers are very helpful and are Ph.D. holders with research experience. The teaching quality is good, enabling us to understand theory, lab work, and practical applications. The college prepares students for the industry with a mandatory 6-month industrial training program and a 6-month field training program. The exams are tough, requiring strong practical knowledge to succeed.
Other: I chose this course because farmers are the backbone of India, and I come from an agricultural background. Agriculture will be crucial in the future. There are few events and fests. The campus crowd is approximately 10,000, and merit-based and sports scholarships are available.

Now the College is Best.
Placements: About 40% of the students in my college are from my batch. In B.Sc. (Honours) Agriculture, the lowest package offered by the college is 8 LPA, while the maximum is 20 LPA. The top recruiting companies for my course include Haldiram, Cadbury, seed processing companies, and fertilizer companies. Approximately 20% of the students secured internships through our course at Amul and in organic farming (Uttarakhand).
Infrastructure: There are three types of hostels for students: OH, NH, and IH. The NRI students are placed in the IH hostels, which provide all the necessary facilities for outsiders. There are three canteens or mess halls in our college, one for boys and one for girls. The food prepared is hygienic, freshly made, and delicious.
Faculty: The teachers in this course are the best; some are very well trained, and others come from ICAR. They teach very well, provide regular assignments, and cover many practicals needed in the agriculture sector. In the end-term examination, the test papers range from moderate to high difficulty, with a passing percentage of 45%.
Other: Our college provides excellent fests, such as food fests and craft fests, as well as events like Esperanza and Divergence, where all students have the opportunity to showcase their talents outside of their studies.

Dissatisfied because of events and fests. Good placements were offered before 2020.
Placements: 1) There are total around 400 students in my course. 2) The lowest package is 15k, and the highest is 25k. 3) Agriculture sector companies, fertilizer companies, etc. use to approach. 4) Around 30% students get internships in Titan bitotech, Ajanta soya, etc. 5) Agriculture Officer, Farm Manager, SEED Technologists, etc. are the top roles offered.
Infrastructure: 1) Labs, classrooms, libraries, Wi-Fi, fields for research—there were all things that are required in college. 2) Food was good, but the hostel feels disgusting; there was a hygiene issue, a water issue, a light issue, etc. Medical faculty is good because college has its own hospital. Sports and games land are sufficient enough.
Faculty: 1) Yes, all teachers are well qualified and knowledgeable enough. The teaching quality was the best. 2) The course is curriculum-relevant. 3) Exams were pretty easy because the subject contains all the marks according to field practical, so somehow it was easy. The pass percentage is around 70% of strength.
Other: 1) I chose this course because there are vast options in agricultural government jobs. It's most practical-based. 2) There should be more industrial patterns or practical things. 3) There are negligible events. Crowd is good. Scholarships are better.

SHUATS is a very good college.
Placements: 60% of the students were placed in my college. The placement fee ranges from 2 lakhs to 4 lakhs. The placement at our college is satisfactory, but not exceptionally good. Our college offers internships in the dairy department. “Aggies” is a daily newspaper that covers students’ internships in the dairy department. It’s a good resource.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure is good at my college Wifi, labs, classrooms, and the library are good and easy to use. Facilities are good enough. Work experience is also good. Sports and games are also happening. Medical facilities are good.
Faculty: Faculties are good, and curriculum activities are relevant to the course. Semester exams are tough, and the passing percentage is 40%. Curriculum activities are also happening. Teachers are helpful and well qualified.

SHUATS - College Life Everyone Wants to Experience.
Placements: 60 percent of students get placed, while others want to pursue further studies. The highest package offered in the food industry is 6 LPA, the lowest package is 2.4 LPA, and the average package offered is 4 LPA. Top recruiters are Haldiram, Jubilant, Amul, Britannia, Bhikaji, and Mother Dairy. In our course, there is a mandatory 4-month internship in the 8th semester, so every student gets an opportunity for internships in companies like ITC Limited, Varun Beverages, Amul, Nandi, and others. Top roles offered for freshers are lab chemist, quality executive, and production executive.
Infrastructure: Professors in our department are highly qualified and experienced. They try to give their best to their students and are also very supportive. Classes are good and equipped with all necessary facilities. The department has a total of 4 labs for practical work and one dairy where you can learn about different aspects of processing. There are a total of 5 hostels on campus; IH is one of the best hostels for men as it provides the best facilities at reasonable prices. The hostel fee is paid once a year. The food quality in the mess is average; apart from the mess, the college has 4 canteens. For medical emergencies, there is a hospital just 50 meters from the entry gate. There is a huge football field for playing different outdoor games; in addition, the college has a basketball court, volleyball ground, and kabaddi ground apart from the football ground.
Faculty: Teachers are highly qualified professionals, very friendly, and always there for their students when we need help. The course curriculum is vastly expanded to cover every aspect of food and industrial knowledge. Semester examinations are not so tough if you really study hard; the exams are moderate. The passing percentage is 50%.
Other: I'm currently pursuing an MSc in Food Technology from the same college. I had a great interest in the food department, so I opted for this field. The best thing about the course is that it deals with every aspect of food, such as raw material, production, quality, safety, contamination, and prevention. A fest is held every year in our college on the occasion of National Milk Day in November. Our college is the best example of mixed culture and unity in diversity, with students coming from different states and cultures, making lifelong friendships.

Q:   How effective is the placement cell for B.Sc. courses at SHUATS?

A: 
{Source: B.Sc. students & alumni}

Effectiveness of Placement Cell for B.Sc. Courses at SHUATS

Based on the reviews from students and alumni, the effectiveness of the placement cell for B.Sc. courses at Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences (SHUATS) is:

* Limited placement opportunities: Approximately 10% of students get placed in reputed companies like VNR Seeds, Pandey Nursery, Delmonte, Nestle, etc.
* Low salary packages: My seniors got an average CTC of INR 2-3 lacs per annum. Top recruiters are Tech Mahindra, John deere, UPL etc.
* Placement cell is almost dead: Only forty-five percent of students get placed, and most students are not satisfied with the placement process.
* No consistent placement record: Some years see few or no placements, making it challenging for students to find employment after graduation.

Overall, the placement cell seems to struggle in terms of securing decent placements for B.Sc. students, leading to concerns among students regarding their post-graduation employability prospects. However, it's essential to acknowledge that individual results may vary, and some students might still secure desirable placements despite these limitations.
