B.Sc. in Agriculture
Reviewed On 13 Dec, 2025
Admission: The professors here are super knowledgeable and really want to help us with our studies. They work hard to make sure we understand everything by making clear slides. The subjects cover a lot of interesting stuff like economics, genetics, and plants, which makes the course more interesting. The exams are pretty easy to follow, and almost everyone passes, except for a few who had health problems.
Placement: The agriculture course here has loads of chances for us undergrads. Some of our friends got jobs as agriculture assistants, farm officers, and lab assistants at research centers. And some even got into IRMA in Gujarat and IIM in Ahmedabad for MBA. We can also go on to do post-grad studies after this. Plus, there are opportunities overseas too. We got in by passing the NEET exam, and some came in through reservations. Our batch had around a hundred students.
Campus: The department here has cool tech and tools for doing research and showing stuff to students. Professors run the labs and make sure we have all the materials we need. We've got a library on campus with books for every subject, plus free Wi-Fi. The classrooms got a makeover recently with new audio-visual stuff. Boys and girls have separate places to stay on campus, with good food in the hostel and around. There's a health center near the college entrance. And we've got a strong sports team for football, volleyball, cricket, and basketball, plus an indoor stadium.

Admission: The professors here are really knowledgeable. They studied at good places like IARI, NDRI, and ANGRAU. They all have Ph.D.s. Exams follow the KAU syllabus. We have separate theory and practical exams in the exam hall. The course is wide-ranging and covers a lot.
Placement: This college is pretty new but it's already making a mark. It's not too crowded, so teachers really focus on us. The campus is in a cool area with lots of different plants to learn about. The first group of students did great - 3 got JRFs and 2 even got into top management schools. Now, the new batch is working hard for the big ICAR PG exam. Some have already got into top management schools too. It's a tough place, but if you want a future in agriculture, this is the spot!
Campus: Our college has got all the facilities we need. There's Wi-Fi in both the college and hostel. The library is open from 9 AM to 6 PM, but they can extend it to 9 PM if we ask. The food in the canteen is pretty good. And we also have a sports club where we can play football, volleyball, throwball, and other games with our classmates. It's cool!

Admission: The teachers are super nice and know their stuff. They motivate us to consider writing as a career. The classes are great and we use English to talk. The syllabus covers cool topics like artificial intelligence and nanotechnology. We also get to do field work and learn new skills. It's all pretty awesome!
Placement: I'm a senior student here (from the 2021 batch). Around 10% of students get placed here. Most of the placements are for B.Tech biotechnology students. If you're in B.Sc. hons agriculture, it's more research-focused. So, not many job placements like B.Tech. But if you do well, you can land farm officer roles or other company jobs. And if you pass exams like PSC, UPSC, IBPS, there are different job options for agri grads.
Campus: The place isn't too bad. They have good facilities for girls and boys to stay. The food is decent, and students manage the mess. The labs are okay, but some equipment needs fixing. We get a good taste of the field while studying here.

Admission: The professors at my college are really famous in Kerala Agricultural University. They're all experts in research, which makes us KCAET students feel lucky. They've studied at top places like IITs and universities abroad. The way they teach is not just in the classroom. They focus on hands-on learning and even take us on industrial visits. I got to go to National Ilan University in Taiwan, which was amazing! We have 8 semesters of classes, with one semester dedicated to industrial training. The course structure here is great for us to understand food right from the basics.
Placement: I'm really happy with how KCAET helped students get good jobs in food industries like Hatsun and Jubilant Food Works. But many students decided to study abroad in places like New Zealand and Canada. The alumni network is great, and the salaries offered were decent, around 1.5 LPA to 3 LPA. Students got roles like production executive and quality controller. Some even got internships at big companies like Pepsico and United Breweries. The placement cell is there to help, but it's up to us to make the most of it. Overall, I feel lucky to be part of this college!
Campus: The college has amazing facilities, even though it's a government college. You don't need to worry about it because the facilities are top-notch. They have classrooms, library, medical facilities, labs, and super-fast Wi-Fi. The labs have cool equipment and give a great learning experience. The canteen serves tasty food and you can choose from the menu. The hostel rooms are nice and cozy. The campus is huge, covering about 100 acres. Campus life is enjoyable.

Admission: There aren't many teachers at this college, but the ones who are permanent are really good at teaching. Even some of the temporary staff are pretty good too. They like to use multimedia in class instead of just reading from textbooks all the time. The student-faculty ratio is around 25, probably because there aren't too many students here.
Placement: There aren't any job placements happening at our college, but only about 40 students graduate in a year. This means less competition compared to other engineering courses. The graduates either work overseas or are getting ready for tougher exams. Right now, the 32nd batch of students is studying as freshmen in the college.
Campus: The college is cool, right by the Bharathappuzha river. It's huge, like 100 hectares big! There are 3 classroom buildings, a library building, and a canteen. Also, there's a Krishi Vijnaan Kendra. The computer lab has its own Wi-Fi, which is awesome. There's a big playground for sports and games they really focus on that stuff here. And they have hostels for both ladies and men, which is convenient. The rooms in the hostel are nice, and the food is good too. The library has all the books you need, and each course has its own lab and workshops. It's a great place to study and have fun!

Admission: There are a lot of top-ranking students at our college since the beginning. We've also done well in sports events at the university level. The teachers really know their stuff and the courses are well-organized. They're always there to help and the classes are really good. It's a supportive environment here.
Placement: I really like the variety of opportunities at our college. Since it's new, there aren't too many placements available yet.
Campus: The college and hostel have Wi-Fi, which is great. The classrooms and library are good for studying. The mess food is good too. Also, we have smart classrooms that make learning easier.

Admission: The teachers at our college are great. They all have PhDs. The exams aren't too hard. We usually get fair questions on the test. Getting a 50% is good enough. We have exams at the end of each semester. And if you don't do well, you can retake the test to try and improve your grade.
Placement: Studying B.Tech. in Biotechnology is super popular. About half of the students get jobs after finishing the course. Biotech engineers can earn at least 10 LPA. The course helps us build skills like critical thinking, practical knowledge, and more. Big companies like Pfizer and GlaxoSmithKline hire from our college.
Campus: The course I'm taking is all about agriculture biotechnology, so there's a lot of support for that field here. They have everything you need like Wi-Fi, a library, labs, and nice classrooms. The hostel is pretty good too, with a mess and canteen that serves food at reasonable prices.

B.Sc. (Hons.) in Agriculture
Reviewed On 3 Aug, 2025
Admission: The teachers are super helpful and really know their stuff. They have Ph.Ds and work on government research projects. The teaching is top-notch, mostly using boards and PowerPoints. There are 6 of us in the M.Sc program with 5 professors, so it's like a 6:5 ratio. One downside is that we don't get much exposure to industry stuff.
Placement: I'm not really looking for a job after my M.Sc. I'm more focused on studying more. So, I don't really care about placements. But, honestly, the placements here are not that great. Many students end up with jobs that are below their qualifications. That's why most people are choosing to go for a Ph.D. instead. Some end up in banks, IBPS, or UPSC.
Campus: I'm studying plant breeding & genetics at this college. The department has everything we need like a library, Wi-Fi, and even places to play football & cricket. I'm from Andhra Pradesh and finding it hard to adjust to the food here. The hostel rooms are nice and have Wi-Fi. I haven't had any problems with the hostel or college so far.

Admission: The teachers at our college are really good. Some are professors, some are associate professors, some are assistant professors, and some are guest lecturers. They all help us a lot throughout the course. Most of them teach in a practical way instead of just using presentations. The student-teacher ratio is 6 to 1, which is great. We also have special training in different places, which helps us for the future. The teachers are friendly, helpful, and caring. They create a nice atmosphere for studying and doing other activities.
Placement: Graduates from our college have found jobs all over the place, even overseas. They are doing great work with dedication. The first few batches mostly became teachers, while others went into soil, water, and groundwater fields. Later batches found jobs in the USA, Africa, and the Gulf countries. From the 17th to 27th batches, most grads got jobs in different parts of India. Some even went to Gulf countries for projects. A few landed jobs in banks as agricultural specialists. Others worked in marketing for irrigation, tractor, and food companies. Some became research or teaching assistants in agri institutions. A good chunk got placed in projects temporarily. About 60-70% of grads got jobs, with a minimum salary of Rs. 15,000. The average income was around Rs. 40,000. Companies like Cadbury, VST Tractors, and Jain Irrigation came for campus interviews, offering various roles. 10-20% of students got internships through the college, with stipends ranging from Rs. 2,000 to Rs. 8,000 a month, averaging Rs. 3,000.
Campus: The KCAET campus is huge with a 40-hectare area. Half of it is used for research. There are two blocks for different engineering courses: one for agriculture and the other for food. The labs are well-equipped for different subjects like physics, chemistry, and computer labs. The library is great with lots of books, magazines, and computer facilities. There are two auditoriums, one on the roof. For sports, there are courts for volleyball, basketball, and more. Hostels have WiFi and there are other facilities like the canteen, teacher quarters, and a veterinary hospital. The food in the canteen is good and it's open from 8 am to 5 pm.

Admission: There are four departments here. The teachers are really good and have doctorates. We get to go on trips related to our subjects, and most of our theory classes include hands-on practice. One department has a lot of guest speakers too.
Placement: A bunch of seniors landed jobs through campus placement. Companies like VST Tillers and Kirloskar Pumps hired some of them. VST Tillers even had our agri engineers working as Technical Trainers. They paid 13,000 plus 500 for food and stay daily. In the final year, everyone does an internship as inplant training. We got 8,000 as a stipend during that time.
Campus: The Wi-Fi works for 24 hours, which is cool. The computer lab isn't as good as some other colleges, though. The chemistry and physics labs are kinda lacking, but the electrical lab is alright. The geotechnical engineering lab and HMT labs are pretty good, though. The library has enough books for everyone, plus there's a book bank where you can get books for half price. The canteen serves really good food, and the hostel rooms fit 4 people comfortably.
