Overall: This college will be a variety experience for those who are studying in this college. There are a few students, so each and every one knows each other very well. Most of the students are staying in hostels and only 5 percent of the total students are day scholars. The all-India tour, which is a part of the curriculum and farm and all other experiences may lead us to develop a good personality.

Faculty: Mainly, 4 departments are here. All the teachers are good and qualified, and almost all the teachers possess a doctorate. We have industrial visits related to our subjects, and most of the theory papers have practical sessions in our syllabus. In one department, there are many guest lectures as well.

Overall: I took admission in the B.Tech course at the university and I can say that it was one of my best decisions. The professors and other staff of the university are really supportive. Additionally, the university hosts all kinds of cultural events, from Christmas celebrations to annual cultural events, with fanfare. One may claim that the campus is entirely secular. All students have access to the programmes. Additionally, there are freshers as well as farewell events for the students.

Faculty: The teaching staff at the Kerala Agricultural University is composed of outstanding professors who are knowledgeable in their professions. The faculty members' use of cutting-edge teaching methods helps students comprehend the subject matter better. Students are encouraged to take part in a range of group projects and technical training sessions in addition to the university curriculum by their professors.
