The verdict
Worth considering
TNAU offers a budget-friendly, niche M.Tech in Agricultural Engineering with solid legacy and recruiter access in the agri-sector. However, the lack of AICTE approval and a modest placement rate of 55% mean you should verify long-term career alignment—especially for core engineering or overseas academic tracks—before committing.
