Think Govt Jobs & Research, Not Just Campus Placements
The 2025 placement rate is 40%, but that stat misses the off-campus picture. Many grads crack ICAR roles, state agri departments, banking AFO exams, and research fellowships. If you’re chasing AgTech startups or corporate fat packages, this route might feel slow.
The verdict
Worth considering
This is a rock-solid, budget-friendly choice for students targeting government agricultural careers, ICAR research, or banking AFO roles. However, private-sector campus placements are limited and starting packages are modest. Pick this if you’re clear on public-sector agri paths or research — skip it if you want high-growth corporate AgTech careers.
