Yogesh's Review On Indian Institute Of Rice Research - [IIRR], Hyderabad

The duration of the course is 2 years which is divided into four separate semester, each semester has a number of core and allied subject which revolves around many aspects of agriculture. At the end of each semester there will be a theoretical exam and through out the semester there will be some unit tests and assignments. Students are given projects and seminars to hone their skills and inculcate confidence in them. The course is a perfect blend of theory and practical aspects of agriculture, in which students experience the subject.

The College gives us opportunity to perform research under experienced guides and after completing this course either we can give exams for job ( forest and agricultural fields) or can pursue further as we can do PhD and accomplish research works. There are lots of scope after we complete this course as we can go for both government as well as private sector, can become office by clearing exams, work in any agricultural companies or can become lecturers in a private college. We will get decent stipend if we purse PhD (research scholars).

As being a government college it celebrates all major government festivals irrespective of the religion. Some local festival and major festivals are celebrated grandly. Many festival celebration are followed by some dance, recreational programs and academic competitions. Diwali, Christmas are celebrated grandly the day before festival and we would be having leave on the respected government holidays.

The college fees through out the one year is less than 40,000 which means 20,000 for each semester including all other fees( exam and lab). Which is very less as compared to the reputed private institutions, although being a massive college the fees is quite affordable and the arrangements (hostel and mess) is quite good but we have to pay extra money for hostel facilities. If we want some concession in fee , we can apply for scholarship which the college provides, which turns out to be quite useful.

The college focuses on all over the development of a student, as it provides many co-curricular activities besides academic programs. The college organizes many sports events and sports day is celebrated yearly once. Many festivals are followed by some games (tug of war) which is quite amusing. The college conducts many other competitions during the department function and college days. The culture is grandly celebrated with many recreational activities. They also arrange NSS camp, yoga classes, self-defense classes, and organize tours for the students which acts as an adventurous as well as the academic tour.

The senior students of the college are very nice and kind to the juniors, they help them out with seminars and research work. Most of the passed out students are either pursuing research in renowned institutions or working in reputed posts. They college alumni visit college once in a while to encourage and guide the students. They share their mantra and experience with the students telling their tales of hard work and determination which serves as a great motivation to the students.

The admission in this prestigious college is quite tough, as being a government college. Either we can enter through state entrance examination or through Integrated entrance exam of the institute. I joined this institute for my post graduation studies and have done my bsc from other college. We can apply online for admission and the entrance fees is also very low, exam was conducted on a large scale through out the state and then there will be process of certificate verification. There is a lot of competition for this college as it?s one of the best Institute for agricultural studies and students all over the nation try to get into this college.

The college has one of the most experienced faculty comprising of many research scholars and experienced professors, each of them have accomplished great academic success in their respective fields. The faculty are very determined and unbiased, who are always ready to help out students. The professors act as a colleague or friend cause they treat us kindly and in a respectful manner, they teach us with full dedication and are very skilled when it comes to teaching.
