COAET: PaAU

The relevancy for the courses is good, but i think more courses for enterprenuership must be introduced, as many students are not looking for the placements, other things must be explored as well. For real life application there are subjects in7th semester, which i personally feel are very poorly timed, as the degree must be a long learning journey for real life applications, and not for just 6 months. The frequency of exam per sem is every one month, including practicals and other test series.

The college offers us internships in 7th semester, many companies like Punjab remote sensing centre, CIPHET,Tafe, Merado, Verka, and many companies have tie ups with college. Some internships are paid while mostly are not. The roles are decided by the companies only, so mostly entry level roles like assisting the seniors or working on a common projects are given. The duration for the internship is around 2 months, and it is considered mandatory, but it has only S/US grade, no marks are alloted for it.

From 6th semester a student is eligible for the placements, companies like TAFE, CLASS, Mahindra and Mahindra and many others come for campus placements. The average package is of 5-6 lacs and the highest package, according to me was gone for john deere company at the price of 15 lacs per annum. The students have 80-90% chances of getting placements. I personally want to pursue my higher studies and work on my future preneurs.

Having said, The fees structure justifies some facilities, while some not. Per semester the fees is around 45-50k for day scholars, and 65k+ for the hostellers. The tution fees remains the same for all students, except for the students who are hostellers, as mentioned before. There are special reservations for the SC/ST students, and according to my information, the fees for them is only 5k. The scholarships are offered on the basis of academic merit, and for the sports merit, we have to complete the many levels, like attaining, college color and college merit, then we can apply for university merit. There are scarce scholarships for sportspersons, while the academic merit, there are two scholarships offered, once in 1st year, and other one in 3rd year. Other scholarships are rewarded on the basis of economic status, Gender specifications and other societal factors.

The overall campus life is not so happening tbh. At the name of fests, there is only one fest, that is youth fest. Other fests are the fairs named kisan mela, and that is not very happening, atleast for the youngsters. The sports meet are organised every year in february. The college and university has rich resource of books and journals which can easily accesed by students.

For me, i chose this college due to my keen intrest in agriculture and due to close proximity of campus from my residence. The college has alot to offer in terms of agriculture. I applied for 2 colleges, One being PAU and other GNDE ludhiana, i chose this as the course i study here has strongly acknowledged in india as well as abroad.

The faculty to student ratio for our batch was excellent, there was never shortage of teachers, as well as the courses as well. Per semester we had to study 8-9 courses. The courses were indeed intresting and worth the time, but the thing is due to high number of courses, the importance and time which had to give to subjects, was not given. The faculties are highly supportive of our college.

The nightlife is good only for the boys as the hostel gates are never closed for us, meanwhile the girls hostel are closed around 8 pm in summers and 7pm in winters. Inside the campus, theres nothing happening in night, but outside campus there are alot of markets and malls to roam around and have fun. There is gym in the badminton court, but it mostly consists of worn out equipment, so i would recommend joining a good gym rather than injuring yourself, as many instances have been recorded, Only famous hangout spot are Nescafe and Amul cafe, situated in front of main library.
