My First Steps Towards My Dream

Unlike most B.Sc courses in the country, the B.Sc Agriculture course at Dr Balasaheb Sawant Konkan Krishi Vidyapeeth is a 4 year course. The course is intense and teaches a variety of topics ranging from soil management to food production.

Our college provides a plethora of internships every year to its students. The only thing you have to take care of is your marksheet- the better your grades, the better your chance of bagging the good internships.

The tuition fee for the college is quite affordable. For the B.Sc Agriculture course, the fee structure is divided as such: Year 1: Rs 24,850 Year 2: Rs 16,800 Year 3: Rs 16,800 Year 4: Rs 16,800 Thus the total comes to Rs 75,250.

College always gives us enough freedom when it comes to co-curricular and extra-curricular activities. Of the sporting events that take place, the kho kho and volleyball events are my favourite! We also have art, craft and dance competitions.

The hostel facilities are quite good. The hostel is relatively new and is spic and span. Each hostel room is shared by 3 or 4 students and the rooms are also furnished with a cupboard and a table chair set.

Most of the seats in the institute are reserved for students with Maharashtra domicile. You have to pass your 10+2 exams under the Maharashtra State Board to be eligible. On the basis of the marks submitted, a merit list will be drawn up.

It is very difficult to find faculty who can create and sustain interest among students for the subjects of soil and water management. But, this is where I got very lucky, because our teachers are extremely knowledgeable and not one second in class is boring!
