The only thing that I dislike the library facilities.E- Resources are available but it is limited.
Campus facilities are good but coaching facilities are not available.

Admission:

I have applied through my higher secondary marks and I had come to know from press medium. Anyone can getting admission in this college very easily. There aren't any admission test. If you have 60 percent marks, you can apply for this college through website. First university releases student merit list on the basis of their marks in 12th exam (physics, chemistry, 1st language, 2nd language, biology). Apart form this reservation benifits are also there, which is very helpful for the students. There are total 250 seats under which, general -100, S.C- 50, S.T- 20, other -30. In our college there is no quota for EWS candidates. So my opinion that there must be 10 percent quota for EWS.

Course Curriculum Overview:

Actually from my childhood, I have love to plants and gardening. So my dream is to become an agriculturalist and work on plant breeding so that higher amount of food grains can be produced. Not only this but also agriculture is the back bone of Indian economy. Every one needs food for their living.So it is so much important to produce more food for solving the poverty and food scarcity. The facilities is very good, having well educated, co-operative and helpful also. Teaching process is very well.They give good notes and PPT for study. Laboratories are also good with lot's of chemical and instruments are available for practical purposes. But there is a big problem about the practical field which is more important in agriculture education system. So if the practical field will be increased, I hope it will be very helpful for the students. Exams are taken at the interval of 6 months. Each semister have two exams including internal and external. The question is moderate level.

Campus life is good but coaching facility is not available

Any candidate who passed 12th exam can apply. You can find about college at internet by simply searching the college name. Search Doon pg college, Dehradun and enter. Apart from the reservation are also there which is very helpful for student. Sit for General catory- 60 SC- 30 ST- 15. University release student merit list on the basis of the 12th mark obtain in english biology physics. Moderate question paper difficulty level. Semester goes on through 6 months. It is not hard to cover the whole syllabus. In my opinion, quota for EWS must be provided. In our college admission fees is 10500. It must be less than given.

Actually i love this subject from the beginning. And i have always curiosity to know and do furthur higer study about plant and vegetables as i belongs to farmer family. The Agriculture is backbone of economy as you all know. Everyone needs foods at end of the day. Day by day, land size decreasing. Therefore our focus will be at increasing the productivity of crop. It will ensure to end of food scarcity of people of country. The faculties are very good and poses greater knowledge about the course and very friendly. Laboratory and library structure are very well and organised but there must be increasement of laboratory and library size such that every student are allowed to sit and study. One semester goes on through 6 months interval. It is not hard to cover the whole syllabus. You can prepare also for others competitive exams alongs with your syllabus. Don't worry, moderate question paper have been mede for exam. You will easily get good marks.

DOON PG College review

I liked the college campus and the faculty and teachers were good to me and the infrastructure was also good, the best thing was making friends in college and that made campus life very great for me.

The faculty was very low, like we have to register ourselves for external exam and there was no staff for that so students have to half of the Job which should be done by the college faculty it was on us.

The admission process was direct, no exam were conducted, 1st Division is required in your High school to get entrance, application form is available online on the college site, but can also be applied offline, admission process is good some improvements maybe required.

Course curriculum was Agriculture, because there are many job opportunities in both private and government sector, student ratio was higher than faculty at my time of studying there, teaching methods were both theorytical and practical teachers were enthusiastic about teaching the students and always motivated to do good what you do and were helpful but some teachers do favouritism that is universal, exams were conducted both internal and external exam and it was not so difficult to pass if you studied well.

Very nice

Very simple process,, no i didn't give any entrance, Go to college and submit the form and have to pay some security fee, Eligibility: 12th Pass, 45% for ST, SC and 50% for OBC & General Marks.Everything about Form and Fee is explained in the academic section of the college.

I love nature. I like to be with nature. That's why I took this course. This is good for the students, here the teachers are friendly and you get a little bit of freedom and studies are also good. The exam here is semester-wise. It happens once in 6 months and in 500 it is not that much difficult. If your preparation is good, then you can easily pass through a good path.

Best college For B.Sc.Agriculture

For taking admission to B.Sc. The agriculture you need to obtain a minimum of 45% Marks in each subject during the board examination. Not any type of reservation is allowed in my college. You can take admission in both offline and online processes.

I think in the Agriculture stream there are many scopes in this field. It is such type of field that the requirement in this field will never be exhausted. In my class minimum of 100 students are always available to the attained class. The faculties are too good. Exams are also easy you can easily pass the exam.

My honest review about my college

No entrance exam was held, and students were admitted purely based on merit or their Class 12 marks. Biology was required to be a part of the course curriculum during school. The application can be done via the college website and it was done hassle-free.

I chose the course because it sounded exciting to me and it was indeed in real life. The faculty-to-student ratio was 7:85. The faculty had well-qualified professors and term exams were held timely. It wasn't very easy to pass if not studied well.

Doon Pg college of agriculture science and technology review.

It is a great college for agriculture. A score above 65% is eligible for the course. The application form is available online and offline also. Frees for admission in the college is 50000 and per semester cost is 30000.applications date is released after finishing the higher secondary exam. it does not have any reservation benefits. the college is nice and fine so it doesn't need any improvement in the admission process.

From my childhood, I have had a deep interest in plants so I choose a BSc in agriculture. Faculty: student ratio is good. Teachers are well qualified and friendly and their teaching method is so good. the exam is pretty tuff but if you study well then you can score a good mark in the exam.
