Good faculty and infrastructure.
Placements: There is a placement cell which has been working on placements of students. Mainly they are offering private company jobs, but mostly professors encourage everyone for higher studies and for JRF and SRF. The jobs are mainly Sales Officer, Project-based payroll positions, etc.
Infrastructure: Classrooms are very good with digital boards, and Wi-Fi also makes it easy to conduct the classes. Labs are of a moderate level. The library is also very good with lots of options for books, and anyone can also study there. Hostel facilities are also very nice. Clean and well-maintained hostels.
Faculty: Professors are well qualified and helpful. They all are from renowned universities with great knowledge. They take classes regularly from 9:30 am to 5:30 pm. This course is practically helpful for everyone. Exams are moderately difficult, and the passing percentage is 50%.
Other: I have chosen this course for its job opportunities. The culture of Viva-Bharati is very rich, and it would surely help everyone to grow. Events and fests are the best here. One can enjoy this to the fullest. Connectivity is easier with the college bus.

It is a good college for students to get knowledge about agriculture.
Placements: Around 20-30% of students got placed in our college after completing the B.Sc. Top recruiting companies are IIFCO, AFO, IBPS, etc. Some students continue their studies and become a scientist.
Infrastructure: In terms of infrastructure, Viva-Bharati is one of the best universities in the country and matches international standards. This college has upgraded its classrooms to facilitate teaching through modern tools and techniques. The college has centralised air-conditioned classrooms with Wi-Fi enabled. Our college has LCD projectors, tutorial rooms, a library, a state-of-the-art seminar room, and a fully equipped auditorium with a seating capacity of over 100 students. The college takes pride in being a differently-able friendly campus with new ramps, lifts, and special restrooms added to the building. The college has various facilities to address the reading, hearing, and understanding requirements of students. The VB library is an empowering unit with a resource center for the visually challenged possessing an array of audio-visual aids to assist in the process of self-actualisation.
Faculty: Faculty members are well-educated and well-behaved. Students and teachers' bonding is good and helps students a lot regarding their problems. Exams are easy if you follow the lecture carefully.
Other: It is the best course.

Bad placements right now.
Placements: No one from our batch was placed. One company, PI Industry, came for placement, but the number of vacancies was too low, and only three students were placed, and they were PG and Ph.D. students. So, from a placement point of view, this is not a good college for students looking for a job after graduation.
Infrastructure: The facilities provided at our institute are very good, and the infrastructure is remarkable. All classrooms are air-conditioned. When I was a student, the hostel facilities were not good, but now new students are allotted to another hostel with better infrastructure and facilities.
Faculty: The teachers here are very helpful and polite. The quality of teaching is excellent, and they are very helpful and friendly during practical field classes. The curriculum is well-designed and relevant to future research work at the M.Sc. and Ph.D. levels. The semesters are quite manageable if you follow the class notes.
Other: I've always wanted to do research on agriculture because I come from an agricultural family. I've enjoyed the course very much, especially the hands-on learning in the field and with farmers. There are events held almost every month, and the campus life is great, especially the natural setting.

Review of Visva Bharati University.
Placements: Direct placements for agriculture graduates are very rare in ICAR-accredited colleges. Less than 10% of students go for placements in different agro-based companies. Tata Rallis was one of the primary recruiters, and the main roles provided for students were as sales agents, field officers, etc.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure and facilities for our coursework were very sophisticated. Students could easily access smart classrooms, a laboratory, Wi-Fi, and a library with a reading section. Our hostels were fully covered with Wi-Fi services. There was a gym, a TV room, a reading room, and a guest room. Medical facilities were available 24X7. We could play both indoor and outdoor games. The mess of the hostel was owned by the students themselves. The food quality was very good.
Faculty: Our teachers were highly qualified and knowledgeable. The relationship between teachers and students was very good. They were always ready to extend their helping hands when we, the students, required them. The course curriculum was very practical and relevant to the agriculture-dominated society. Students feel a bit of pressure at the time of semester exams. The pass percentage was 99.99%.
Other: Agriculture matters to the future's development, and there were plenty of opportunities after the completion of the course. Viva Bharati was the place of culture. The college hosts numerous events, festivals, and cultural programs.

This college is really good and helpful.
Placements: Ya, some agro-based industries come here for placement purpose. But, vacancies for those companies are very less, approximately not more than 10 in any of the placements. Packages are good. Most of the roles are marketing executive officer or like that.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure is very good. Also, the accessibility is very good as it is situated near the BHS stand or just 4-4.5 km away from the railway station. So, connectivity-wise, there was no problem. Hostels are good. Lots of hostels are there. Rooms are spacious and airy.
Faculty: Teachers are excellent here. They came from top universities. Some of them are also gold medalists. Staff is very helpful. Yes, the course curriculum is relevant. Semester exams are also good. 99% of students passed those semester exams. Semesters are also taken on a regular basis.
