Remarks

Well apart for the Extracurricular activities , mostly sports , everything is fine.

Entrance Preview

To gain Admission in to this college, one must be a state subject of JK and should have passed 12th grade or equivalent with 50% marks, and subject must be PCB. Selection is done on merit , obtained from the UET or University Entrance Test conducted each year. For the BFSc course, One or two seats are reserved for the outside students, selection of which is done by ICAR.

Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

Course curriculum is very unique from the rest of the country. SKUAST K is the leading university in the mountain agriculture and the Faculty of Fisheries is the one and only that does research on Coldwater and Hill Fisheries. The college has done tremendous amount of research in temperate Agriculture and allied fields like Horticulture, sericulture, Fisheries Science, Veterinary Science etc. It's due to the SKUAST K 's research and hard work of the Kashmiri farmers that Kashmir is the 5th largest apple producer in the world.

Internships Opportunities

Yes, the SKUAST provides internship for all the courses.I can't share my experience beacuse I am still in 2nd year

Placement Experience

3

In the horticulture and Agriculture sector , jobs are available but limited. In fisheries there is literally job crunch as the fisheries sector is not yet at its best potential in JK. Buy it can develop in the very near future as might be the economy booster and Job provider.

College Events

4

Participation in every event is more than expected. Throughout the calendar college celebrates each and every event whether that be World Fisheries day , Agriculture day, Veterinary Day etc. Painting competitions , Seminars, etc are held several times in each year. Also cleaning drives, social awareness programs are held too.

Fee Structure And Facilities

For the open merit students , fee structure is fine but for self finance, it's a bit on the heavy side and that goes on with the hostel too. It's almost 10K for each semester for open merit student and 30k for Self-financing student. And for the transportation it's around 700-1000

Fees and Financial Aid

I have no idea about this. But yeah if you get the admission on open merit you really don't have to pay much.

Hostel Facilities

4.5

A student can opt for shared room or just stay alone , expenses of which gets logically doubled. Best part of the Hostel is that it's located just beneath the zabarwan mountain range at the main campus Shalimar, where the view is beautiful. Food quality is good Sports facilities are nicely provided

Alumni/Alumna

Seniors are way too helpful in every aspect. SKUAST K has strictl rules against ragging and harrassing.

Exam Structure

Each semester has two exams, Midterm and Endterm. Midterm is of 30 Marks and 50 marks in Endterm and 20 for practicals , assignments and presentations.Yeah, Exams are very frequently conducted which is a bit of headache for students. Paper is 40 percent objective and 60 percent subjective.

Admission

To get admission you need to get as much as score in UET. This entrance exam is conducted in June and the notification is published 2 months before. On the basis of points scored in UET you can get your desired course in the college. Once selected , you need to submit all the required documents in orginal, if required documents are submitted successfully, you get the admission.

Faculty

5

Every course instructor in the college is a PhD holder and teach there respective courses. So you can yourself understand what will be the standard. Moreover the college is equipped with state of the art technology in every nook and corner, whether that be in the laboratories or classrooms.

The course is actually preparing us how to become profitable in all the situations like during adverse weather conditions ,insect pest and diseases infestation,how to cope up with all the situations that can leads to decrease our yield.i personally choose this course to know the things that are happening in our daily life like knowing the reason of increase or decrease of income in agricultural fields ,use of pesticides, insecticides ,their quantity and specificity so that become less toxic to consume. The exams are quite easy but due to presence of alot of subjects no holiday is available during exams except Saturday and sunday

Course Curriculum Overview:

I was always eager to study about plants and nature and when I studied about the SKUAST jammu i immediately appeared for the CET exam and scored the qualifying number for admission and chose the degree program of bsc hons horticulture and took the next step in my life to connect with plant world. This degree provides knowledge about agriculture, horticulture, floriculture, agrometrology and many more environmental and food related industries . This degree generates employment in various food sector like food processing industries , fruit cultivation , flower cultivation. And in my last year i have took the beekeeping as optional subjects which teaches about bee rearing and honey production. The difficulty level is moderate which a student if studies regularly can pass. The university should improve is education policy by including more practical work rather than theoretical work .
