Course Curriculum Overview
The courses here are totaly practical based and less are theorotical. Hence you could get grass root knowledge about any subject There are no objections on teaching methods but as on saying of curriculum there are need to be micro level changes. The exam schedule is prepared on basis of difficulty of the exam. But the courses are so relevant that you would easily cover the syllabus within a single read.
Internships Opportunities
The 8th semester of the course is the internship itself provided by the University curriculum. In this the students have to work in the deemed field and yeild the income from crops grown or by formulation of fertilizers, pesticides, insecticides,etc. also from the dairy and bakery products.
Placement Experience
From semester 7 students become eligible for campus placements. The highest package offered by the companies is around 15 LPA and the average offered is 5-6 LPA The percentage of students getting placements is 40% My plans after getting a degree is to establish a buisness or if got a placement in an company would continue further with it.

Hostel Facilities
The hostel rooms provided for boys have a ceiling fan, 3 switch boards, 2 cupboards and 4 beds one each for a student. The bathrooms and restrooms are common for each hostel building. There is a seperate mess for 1st year students and a Student's co-operative mess for 2nd, 3rd and 4th year students. The 1st year mess is tender based mess and is functioned by an appointed outsider.

The registration for hostel is done at the timing of admission and registration while the charges for hostel is just 6000 P.A. for the campus hostel. There is availability of private hostels outside of the campus also.
Admission
I had applied for other colleges of Agriculture field only. But for answering the question this college is located in the centre of Pune city. No, I didn't get any rejection from any college as I had this college as my first preference over all. The admission process for my college is to pass the Common Entrance Test exam conducted by Maharasthra board by acquiring a good percentage (caste wise variable) the cutoffs are like : open category - 98-99 percentile Ews category - 96-98 percentile OBC - 92 percentile ... And like wise The ICAR exam conducted by Indian Council of Agricultural Research is also eligible for enrolling in this college.
Faculty
The faculty here are less as compared to jobs available. As two- three work is assigned to a single faculty it makes them too embeded in work. The faculty is too much supportive to students and make students feel comfortable around them. There are no any such faculty I dont like as they do their work efficiently. In each semester you would have two exams one would be Mid-semester examination and the other would be semester end finals. The exams are not too easy and not too difficult. The passing percentage in exams is 97% of 250 students, every semester. The course curriculum changes every 7 years and it is changed this year i.e. 2024 onwards.
Night Life
There is a seperate gym for Boys and Girls located in the ground, A cafeteria at the college entrance gate, a central library and hostel specific libraries. The college is open for all from 6:00 am to 9:00 pm. The hostel timing for Girls is 6:00 am to 7:30 pm and on Sunday it closes at 8:30 pm. While for 1st year boys it is 6:00 am to 9:00 pm and for 2nd,3rd and 4th year it is 6:00 am to 12:00am. The locality outside the campus is fully safe as at distance of 100 meters from college main gate there is police station of Shivajinagar,Pune. The famous hangout places near the campus is the Lakadi bridge, pataleshwar cave temple, lakaki lake, Chittaranjan vatika, Mahadev temple and the famous FC social road.
