Per semester we have around 12 courses or subjects which we study for 6 months. Mid-term examination is taken at 12 weeks of the semester. After that practical examination is taken and finally within few days external examination is taken. We have a lot of syllabus to be studied in few weeks. Most of the courses we have like lengthy theoretical part which we meed to memorize and understand to write. We have less calculation and mathematical part. The teachers do their best to teach and make us understand the subject. They teach us orally, through presentations and by practicals. The exams are very difficult and we should study daily . Since the exams are scheduled back to back with no gap between successive exams. We get stressed out and sleepless nights for studying daily.

The entrance exam for B.sc agri is through K-CET. We wrote the entrance exam after 12th std. And the rank cutoff was 15k. We were selected for the B.Sc agri course. When the counselling started we chose colleges we wanted to take admission in and they assigned us a college. Then the admission order was received. We submitted the admission order and paid fees in the bank. Later we came to college enrolled our name and admission was successful. Other than CET another exam is written by our fellow classmates called ICAR which is similar to NEET for agriculture course. They also took the admission through the same process. The reservation such as NCC,371-J,SC-ST, are generally helpful for the admission

The teachers are very well and thoroughly prepared for the classes. They often interact with us in the classroom. We share our doubts and they clear it. They help us in studies. They guide us how to read and cover the syllabus,how to write answers in the exams. A group of 10 students is assigned to one lecturer or teacher as a counsellor who looks after our grades and performance in the college as well as extracurricular activities. They guide us and if at all there's any problem we are going through we can share with them and they help us to solve it. These counsellors look after us as a parent and they deal with our problems carefully.
