Pros and cons of WBUAFS

I chose this course because I want to pursue a career in agriculture and allied sciences that's why I choose this course. The university has pretty good faculties. Our college has a 1: 6.5 faculty: student ratio. The qualification of the faculty is great. Among 26 faculties 22 faculties have Ph.D. and the other 4 are also pursuing their Ph.D. in their respective fields. The teaching method is quite good. I can assure you that it will be worth your bachelor's degree but I recommend doing a master's from another college. Exams will be on a semester basis i.e. every 6 months there will be one-semester end term and before the end term, there will be one mid-term. So basically for one semester, you have to appear 2 exams; one is mid term then the other is end-term. Exams are not difficult at all. Questions are from what you are taught in the class.

Education fees are the same for all. Only the hostellers have to pay for the hostel fees extra that's all. Hostell fees is 1200 rs per semester. The mess is run by the mess committee formed by the students themselves. So basically the mess fee is 1800 rs per month. These are all the costs of study. For hostellers: 5710(including hostel fees)+ 1800×6( mess fees)=16510( for 1 semester). For Day Scholars: 3910+1800×6=14710. So the cost of the study is pretty good. You can get an SVMCM scholarship sponsored by the government of West Bengal and an OASIS scholarship only for SC, ST, and OBC students. Also if anyone doesn't get any of the above scholarships then you can get a University scholarship if you are in the top 10 in your class for one semester. Frankly speaking, I don't get any jobs on campus but you can go for different companies off campus.

There is one freshers party every year and one annual fest every year. The occurrence month can vary from year to year. The university has one central Library and the Library has a pretty good book collection also journals from different national and international institutions are available for students. Each classroom has AC and one projector for presentation. Every classroom is spacious and chairs and tables for each student. The campus has 2 playgrounds; the big one is for football and cricket matches and the other one is for volleyball, badminton, etc. Inside the mess, there are table tennis facilities. Every year there is an annual sports event arranged at the campus. There are no social clubs run by students.

Every hostel room has 3/4 beds as per requirement, 2 ceiling fans, 3/4 tables, and 3/4 chairs for students. Meal quality is good. As the campus is in West Bengal rice is given with dal at both lunch and dinner time. For lunch there are fish, chicken, sabji, and eggs are provided, and for dinner eggs, sabji, and chicken are provided. In one month 2 grand meal is arranged. There is a one-time charge of 2500 rs as caution money for hostel and mess registration. Other than that it has been quite affordable in recent times. If you can rent a room or PG you can search in the Briji area which is one metro station away or otherwise you can go to Jadavpur area.

No there aren't any admission tests. If you have 60 percent marks in your intermediate then you are good to go. Every year application is released out at the time of June to August time at the West Bengal University of Animal and Fishery Sciences official website. Yes, there are reservation benefits as per the government rules and regulations you can get reservation benefits. One improvement I want to see is that Universities should have their own payment gateway then it will be much easier for students overall.
