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.
