The most honest one!

Dislikes

The fees are too high for the facilities they provide.

The fees for bsc ( hons) agriculture is 1,80,000 per year. It is the same for all categories of students. You have to give security fees 5000 at the time of admission. And there is no tuition fees or any such kind of fees. And for admission you have to give a test SAAT.

My college view

My whole course fee is about Rs. 1400000/- . And along with the year is increasing. It's a constant fee amount for every person. We don't have any reservation quota in college. Scholarship is not provided.
