A closer look: ADAC and RI

In agriculture what you study in the books is not fully applicable in the field. The practical knowledge that the college provides is not up to the mark. 2.5 hrs practical classes must be engaged better. Every semester there will be 10-13 courses, each consisting theory and practicals. A mid-semester exam(20 marks) is conducted halfway through the semester. The practical exams(40 marks) are first conducted and there will be no gap between the exams. After this with one or two days gap the theory exams(40 marks)are also conducted daily like the practicals.

Frequent intership opportunities are provided by the college. AMRIT internship which was recently offered provided 6 thousand per month for 3 months. Within that 3 months the student must collect details of farmers from the alloted village.

For 7.5% of Tamil medium students there is no fees, both college and hostel is free. There is an industrial quota where you will be paying 8 lakhs for a seat after the normal fees. In the NRI quota, you must pay in dollars which will be 2 lakhs per semester. The overall cost of the course will be less than 5lakhs for a merit student.

Science students with biology subject are eligible for the course. The tnau website provides all the details of the admission process. For certificate verification you will be forced to travel to coimbatore even though your alloted college is elsewhere which can be changed.

For every course, there will be at least 3 staff in the college. Each of them is qualified to do scientific research and most of them are not so efficient in teaching. But self-studying and asking doubts to them is very effective. The staff are very much approachable and available 5 days a week.
