OUAT Review

OUAT was one of the best options for me as I belong to a farmer family and I wanted to contribute to the farming industry so I decided to opt for OUAT as the college is very popular for its agriculture program and the university also has collaboration with IIT Roorkee and IIT Delhi for agriculture research education. The admission is on the basis of the Common Entrance Examination Test by OUAT and selection is on the merit score scored in the test. I was able to clear the test and I was shortlisted on the basis of the entrance test my academic record was also okay and I was allowed admission in the college.

The curriculum of the college was up to date and it follows all kinds of latest industrial guidelines. The curriculum gives us insight details on every part of farming and soil conservation and soil fertility techniques. The faculty of the college is also very experienced and well qualified. The faculty were not only of PhD standards but also have very good research experiences from one of the top universities of India. The faculty was the one who were eager to share their valuable knowledge with us.

We don't have an industrial internship program. We have RAWE through which we have to complete research work means we get an opportunity to interact with the farmers and we have t go to the fields and experience the real farming techniques of different types of crops and have to understand the fertility standards of the soil.

After completing the two years of our program we are eligible for a placement drive and we can take part in the college placement drive. Honestly speaking the placement packages are not so big but the college is able to maintain a record of 75-85% of placement records. Most of my batch mates are from the farming family they prefer to continue with the farming or move ahead for higher studies. The overall average package is around 5-7 LPA and seeds and chemical companies visit the campus for the college placement drives.

The complete course fee is around 54000 which is very reasonable and the average placement of the college is around 6 LPA which very good return on investment in comparison to college fees. The college also has several scholarship schemes such as Merit Scholarship, Free Studentship, National Scholarship, Teacher’s kid Scholarship, Freedom Fighters Scholarship, Jr. College Merit Scholarships, Sr. College Merit Scholarships, Post-Matric Scholarships. To know about the scholarship eligibility one can visit the college's official website.

The college infrastructure is very well maintained. The classrooms are modern fully AC and a digital board is available. The college labs are modern and properly maintained. The college library has many books of bestsellers authors from all around the world and most of the books are from the farming industry. The seniors and the administrative staff is cooperative and friendly.

The hostel rooms are available for sharing, triple, double and single accommodation as per the budget. The hostel is well maintained and rooms are properly ventilated and clean. The hostel mess food is good and the menu changes as per the demand. The hostel wardens are cooperative and the staff is well trained. The hostel provides 24 hours of water and power supply. The hostel has all types of facilities available for us.
