Remarks
Applied for the institute of agricultural sciences Banaras Hindu university and got selected through the entrance examination( as it is the sole criterion for taking admission) securing 12th rank and there isn't any quota applied from my side. Counselling was in offline mode where documents are verified in the college premise itself. Hostel applications were based on the rank and distance of residence from college as there are limited seats in hostels.
Course Curriculum Overview
I choose this course because I want to learn about modern agriculture practices and to combat the need of the ever increasing population in India. There is about 1 teacher to every 10 students and are highly qualified ( doctorate and post doctorate as well as agricultural scientists ) and most of them teach interactively and most importantly with chalk and board method also accompanied with the digital classes. Exams regularly took place almost every 3 months the midterm examinations and at last semester examinations. Questions asked from the syllabus covered and with thorough study it is smooth to pass the examinations and securing good marks.
