The verdict
Worth considering
Choose this if you vibe with plants more than cubicles. PAU offers serious legacy and dirt-cheap fees, but the 30% placement rate and ₹3.2 LPA average salary mean you need a clear game plan—think state horticulture department exams, launching your own agri-venture, or pursuing a master’s degree for better R&D roles.
