Rank Check
That NIRF #85 badge is under the Pharmacy category — not Agriculture. For agri-specific credibility, dig into faculty research in crop science, alumni working in Uttar Pradesh's agri-extension network, and how the program uses its 120-student cohort size for field access.
The verdict
Worth considering
SHUATS offers a budget-friendly, four-year agri pathway with recognizable recruiters like IFFCO and Bayer CropScience. It fits if you want a grounded degree near Prayagraj with hostel facilities and scholarship options. However, the 2025 average CTC of ₹3 LPA is modest, and our data confidence is limited — speak to current students and verify lab and hostel infrastructure before you commit.
