The placement opportunities at Punjab Agricultural University are limited with no on-campus placements. Students typically find jobs on their own, leveraging the university's high reputation. Only 2-3 out of a batch of 60 students secure jobs through the university. The placement rate varies, with some reports suggesting 20-50%, while others claim a 70-80% placement rate. The average salary package ranges from INR 2-3 lakh per annum, with some students receiving packages up to INR 8-15 lakh.

Key recruiters include John Deere, Mahindra and Mahindra, and TAFE, offering roles primarily in the agricultural machinery sector. There is an active placement cell, but most students prefer higher studies or government jobs. Internship opportunities are available, although they often lack stipends. The placement process starts after the sixth semester, and students receive training and preparation for competitive exams. Alumni networks support students in securing positions abroad or in other prestigious institutions.
