Admission to the college is through NEET or ICAR AIEEA exams, targeting students who have completed 12th grade with a science background. The B.Sc. Agriculture program offers a well-rounded curriculum with strong faculty support, though more staff may be needed due to increasing student numbers. The tuition fee is affordable, with general and OBC students paying about Rs 10,000 per semester, while SC/ST students are exempt from tuition fees. Hostel costs range between Rs 3,000 to Rs 4,000 monthly, with additional miscellaneous expenses.
Scholarships and financial aid are available, including the National Talent Scholarship by ICAR and local scholarships for high achievers and minority students. The Rural Agricultural Work Experience (RAWE) program, mandatory in the final year, provides stipends up to Rs 40,000. Although structured campus placements are not offered, graduates find job opportunities in government and private sectors, with some securing packages of 6 to 7 lakh INR annually. The college collaborates with organizations like CIMMYT and ICRISAT for internships and with IIT Bombay's E-cell for tech placements.
Overall, the college is financially accessible, with support for middle-class families, although scholarship disbursements can be delayed.
