Student Experiences
Archana Jaivarshini, G.V. (2019 Batch)
The four year B.Tech (Agricultural Engineering) degree program focuses on engineering discipline that applies engineering sciences and technology to agricultural production and processing. The syllabus covers all the topics in depth. Especially in final year, we are allowed to present our projects and undergo internship trainings. Apart from these, there are industrial visits to attain practical knowledge and there are separate hours allotted for industrial visit. Experiential learning inside the campus is a great experience. The sophisticated infrastructure and laboratory facilities provide us wide scope for carrying out innovative projects.
Devidharshini. M. (2019 Batch)
B.Tech (Agricultural Engineering) is an interesting and versatile degree. It includes all zones of engineering through which I gained knowledge in all streams. Teaching is excellent. The infrastructure of the classroom is nice and well ventilated. The workshop and lab facilities are good. Studying with practical exposure is very useful which helped me to develop more practical knowledge
