Admission to the college is based on a merit list and involves a verification session and orientation before paying the fees. The university consists of Agriculture, Horticulture, and Agricultural Engineering faculties, with a favorable faculty-to-student ratio of 1:4. Classes typically have 25 students with seating for 30. Faculty members are supportive, with some noted for their teaching and engagement. The examination structure includes mid-semester (30 marks), end-semester (50 marks), and additional practicals, viva, and assignments (20 marks), making it challenging to maintain a CGPA above 8.5.
The semester fee for undergraduates is Rs. 5,000, with meal costs at Rs. 30 per meal. Postgraduate fees are higher, but scholarships are available. Placement opportunities are limited, with a placement rate of 10-15% and average packages between 3 to 4 lakh per annum; the highest package is 4.5 lakh. Students are eligible for placements from the 6th semester but often choose competitive exams instead. Last year’s 97% placement rate includes students pursuing higher studies and cooperative banks.
