RLBCAU Reviews on Placements, Faculty and Facilities

My course is for forestry and I aim for ifos exam in upsc. As this university is ICAR affiliated and the courses are designed by them it is very easy for us to prepare that way. The teaching methods are so well developed and practicals are done for sure. Engaging and fun. But the exams always happens one after the other you really don't get time. The semester just ends in 4-5 months.

I choose horticulture due to my interest in floriculture. However, i realized the vast scopes of horticulture , it comprises all the fruits, vegetables, ornamental, plantation and spice crops which has huge income generation in india as it is an agrarian country as well as there is scope for export and import. Some improvement can be made in the course curriculum by making it more practical based rather than theoretical .

The course is very practical and is mostly research based. I wanted to help the feeders of the nation and try and uplift their situations thus I opted for this course. The classes have smart boards so classes are super interactive. The exams are bit stressful but obviously necessary and do help in shaping our knowledge.

The curriculum has a lot of practical knowledge and we can apply those at home and at job we are about the enter. We understand the problems faced by farmers and solve them so uts like helping the feeder of the country. Exams are medium level but its very frequent for which we get a bit stressed so i would hope that to reduce.

I was intially thought it was all about Farmng interaction but it was much more than that. The curriculum help e to develop understanding more on sociology aspects more on village adoption and extension services, more on practical approach to real life experiences. The curriclum also failed to get me a desiravble job on my choices.

Bsc Hons Agriculture is a professional course which opens a vast scope of higher education as well as placements as the entire course constitutes of 60+ subjects. Moreover, learning with nature, about our surroundings and farmers provides satisfaction.

Three courses namely agriculture, horticulture and forestry is here.Some courses are coming in near future.Course agriculture includes all the aspects of agricultural crops and some guidance about horticultural crops and forestry knowledge as well.Horticure have their specifications as well as forestry.Curriculum is somewhat broad and schedule is busy here.Practical experience makes someone ready for real world applications which is somehow lacks here for some extent.Course curriculum is good but needs to improve in exposing the students to the practical world.For perspective of exams in a semester,there is quiz 1 ,mid term ,quiz 2 and then end term.The difficulty level of exam is of moderate type.One can do well in exams by giving attention in classrooms and few hours of study in hostels.

There is good course guidance as well as good study material for every course. The pattern of the exam is good for the students but is good for future exam preparation. Exams continue day after day when they start and it begins for a month.

Bsc hons.agriculture not only gives the theoretical understanding of 64 diverse courses but also encourages research oriented mindset, start-up culture and competitiveness among students. In RLBCAU, periodic tests in the form of quizzes, midterm and endterm examinations are conducted .There is a gap of 3-4 weeks between each of the examinations. RLBCAU gives good results every year in AIEEA ICAR PG /JRF, UPSC,NABARD , IFFCO, IBPS AFO, CAT, XAT, etc.Library is 12 hours opened, provides all the reading resources including books, magazines, newspapers, research papers, e-resources, etc. A computer lab is also available with many computer systems. Periodic extra-curricular events are organised for students like kisan mela, inter-college sports , cultural fests, etc. Teachers usually give lectures in form of ppt on smart boards in english language which is not effective for hindi medium students. Teachers should use both hindi and english as teaching medium.

The Experiential Learning Programmes are one of the most exciting courses that teaches you ground work. The FOWE program also gives you exposure on the real life conditions. The exams are often at this place and the academics are somewhat hectic.
