Feasible. Very nominal fees is charged. Hostel charges are very economical. Mess food is managed on cooperative basis and students share monthly expenditure among themselves. All students get fellowship based on their merit and thus do not face any problem in paying their fees and hostel charges.

Every student admitted in IARI gets fellowhip so I got it both in MSc and PhD. Besides, students can also apply for fellowship to other agencies such as DST, UGC, CSIR.

Campus life is very pleasant. It is a green campus and called lung of Delhi. We have students clubs in every discipline which organise various events. There is one Faculty club with all facilities. Gymnasium is also. Three playgrounds are there. This campus is called mini India as students are there from each and every state.

We have very strong Alumni association. Our Alumni are holding very responsible positions in India and abroad. There is Alumni meet every year during convocation which is a regular events without fail.

This has been premier Institute in Agricultural sciences in India. It is dream of every agricultural graduate to get admission here. I topped my class BSc Agricultural class in HP Agricultural university, College of Agriculture, Solan in 1985 with 3.95 OGPA out of 4.00 and sought admission in this prestigious instittue. I was lucky to get admission here in MSc and after two yeras I joined PhD course, which was completed in 1991.

Faculty is best among the Agricultural Universities. The cream of Agricultural Universities in India take admission in IARI and then get recruited through Agricultural Scientists Recruitment Board (ARS). They get posting in IARI and are thus best among the peers.
