Dislikes

University infrastructure is not upto the point, equipments in the laboratories are not very good and can be improved for good research experience
Placement cells are not so active as they should be, there are less chances of getting into a very high paied jobs

Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

specific aspects like career oppourtunities in his field is good in various sectors like commercial agriculture, landscaping firms, botanical gardens, research institutions, government agencies and non profitable organizations. curriculum prepares a student very well in different aspects like field experiences, industry related courses like plant propagation, pest management, soil science, greenhouse management improvements can be made in incorporating trainings in different rect technologies like remote sensing, GIS etc. also there should be regular surveys and evaluation processes which help faculty in underastanding which area in lacking behind

Class Size: 65Course Fees: INR 200000 per year

Internships Opportunities

i didnt find much companies which give internship programms but university manage to place students with different organizations in different departments like food processing, plant propagation, commercial horticulture etc.

Fees and Financial Aid

course fees for graduation for general seat was around 2-3 lakhs which may vary now there are scholarships which are provided by ICAR, and stipend provided by the institution itself after graduation you are eligible for different type of jobs which are itself provided by the institution in projects

Campus Life

there are many activities like dance, sports etc. where students can take part and can play on national and international level. Also university arrange interstate competitions with other universities the library of university is very good as you can find a lot of books, thesis etc and also the e-learning programms available on university site. WiFi connectivity is good now there are smart clasrooms which help students to understand the subject in proper way there are many small student groups which help them to tackle the problems realted to the institute

Admission

in my scenario the eligibility criteria for the course was 12th marks and also the entrance test conducted by university itself prospectus of the university is available on the university site where you can find the detailed informations regarding the fees, form, dates etc. there is also a reservation benefits in application fees and admission fees also around 2.5 hrs of entrance test is there as a objective one and the difficulty level is moderate

Faculty

there is a great variations in faculty to student ratio as the students count is more as compared to teachers because of which the teachers are highly loaded with the course work which affect the performance of a student to excel in a good way. However, the teacher student interactions are not that bad as teachers are available to help in every aspects. teachers are highly educated and skilled in their respective field and they help students to solve their problems related to any realvent subjects. most of the teachers are very friendly in nature and they attend you in very repectful way.

Likes

There is large caffetetia, gymnasium and large area to roam around in campus.
There are all kinds of shops (stationery, food shops, cafes etc.) inside the college.
The campus management arranges various functions and events time to time

Dislikes

There is lot of work pressure on students.
The fee is I guess too much and should be reduced.
Some of seniors are arrogent and don't co-operate.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I chose this course because I liked horticulture .This course is very well applied in real world in cultivation and growing of vegetables, fruits and flowers and horticulture also has job opportunities in private sector. There are some improvements like more practical learning, real world exposure etc. that could be made to make this course more effecgive in real world application. The exams are conducted per semester and the difficulty level of exams is average.

Syllabus is so vast that we continuously have to give exams . There are approximately 10 courses average in each semester We have to give practicals , mid terms and finals of each course, which is a bit hectic task.

Tit bits about the agriculture university

Likes

The faculty in interactive and social. They provide help when asked nicely.
The campus is huge and really beautiful. It has a lot of greenery and fresh air.
Electric cabs are provided to travel from one department to another

Dislikes

The washrooms of the university need a lot of improvent, sometimes water isnt available sometimes the washrooms are left dirty for days.
There are not many events organised in the university and sometimes it feels like all we do is study and there's no fun in that.
For some events the limitations of day scholars are not taken into conaideration...mostly hostellers get all the fun. It makes us day scholars feel excluded.

This college was my first preference because of it's reputation and populatrity in country .I chose this college because some of my friends were studying in this college and they gave me positive reviews about this college making it my preference over other college. I didn't get rejections from any colleges, I just wanted to get in this college. The admission process is pretty simple . The university conducts a college level exam for admission . The students who clear the exam get normal seats and there are also self financing seats which are based on +2 marks . The fee structure of self financing seats is more than normal seat...Read More
