Academics

As it is one of the oldest college it has very experienced faculties teaching here .. as an agronomist we have to see the crop and food production in our country to cope with the rising population . The curriculum is based on ICAR and it makes us competent enough to go outside and showcase the talent.

Every college has imperfections, so do mine.

Academics

We have a diverse spectrum of course but I believe practical classes need a lot more exposure to real world problems. We usually spend a lot of time writing rather than doing practical stuff. Also field trips should be given utmost priority.

To summarise it all , yes the experience has been enriching
