5. Our college organizes an annual fest every year, and my department also organizes events like the freshers fest and many more.
6. Yeah, agriculture students always get to stay in the campus hostel. As practical classes don't allow us to stay off-campus, the old hostels are not that good.
7. According to me, this is the best college I got for my graduation and post-graduation.

1. Placements are not good here; only one or two companies visit every year and take a few students from college. No, my college provides internships, and almost every student goes to another college for an internship.
2. I did not receive any assistance from the college for placement, there were poor placements, and the interview guidance was the worst.

However, based on my research from multiple sources, the average package offered at SHUATS generally falls within the range of 3.5 LPA to 4.5 LPA. This means that on average, SHUATS graduates can expect to receive an annual salary in this range upon placement.

Here are some specific examples of average package estimates I found:

1. Shiksha: They report an average package of 3.5 LPA for B.Tech graduates at SHUATS.
2. Their estimate for the average package is also around 3.5 LPA.
3. Student reviews: While student reviews offer anecdotal evidence, some mention achieving packages as high as 6 LPA, while others report receiving average offers of around 3 LPA.

Remember, these are just averages, and individual experiences may vary depending on the factors mentioned earlier. It's important to research the specific programme you're interested in and consider other factors like internships and skill development to get a more complete picture of your potential career trajectory after graduating from SHUATS.

Determining whether SHUATS is "good" for placements depends on your specific priorities and what you consider "good." Here's a more nuanced picture:

1. Decent placement rates: Some departments boast high placement rates, with Food Technology, Dairy Technology, and Agriculture exceeding 75%.
2. Companies like Nestle, ITC, and Parle Agro recruit from SHUATS, offering valuable experience.
3. The curriculum and extracurriculars emphasize industry readiness, including internships and industry projects.
4. The DCPC actively supports students with workshops, mock interviews, and career counseling.
5. Placement rates vary significantly across departments, with some like Mechanical, Civil, and CSIT potentially having lower rates.
6. The average salary package around 3.5 LPA might not be as competitive as other options.

Remember, good placements are also driven by individual initiative and effort. So, while the university can provide support and opportunities, your own hard work and networking will play a crucial role in securing desirable jobs.

The eligibility criteria for B.Tech at SHUATS depends on whether you are applying through the SHUATS Online Entrance Test (SOET) or Open Online Counselling.

For SOET:

1. You must have passed 10+2 or its equivalent examination from a recognised board with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (PCM) subjects.
2. You must have scored at least 50% marks in PCM subjects in the 10+2 examination.
3. For SC/ST/OBC candidates, the minimum marks requirement is 45%
4. For SOET: Admission to B.Tech programs through SOET is based on the candidate's score in the SOET exam.
5. For Open Online Counselling: Admission to B.Tech programs through Open Online Counselling is based on the candidate's merit score, which is calculated based on the marks obtained in the qualifying examination and other factors such as work experience and reservation category.

Whether you can get direct admission to SHUATS with a SHIATS Entrance Exam score of 120 depends on several factors, including:

Each programme has different minimum cutoff scores, and some programs may not consider the SHIATS Entrance Exam for direct admission at all.

Reserved categories (SC/ST/OBC) may have lower cutoff scores compared to the general category.

Even if your score meets the cutoff, direct admission might not be possible if all seats are already filled.

Remember, even if you don't meet the direct admission criteria, you can still participate in the merit-based online counselling session if applicable for your program. Your SHIATS Entrance Exam score will be considered along with your marks in the qualifying exam for seat allocation during counselling.

It's important to stay informed and proactive during the admission process. Don't hesitate to reach out to SHUATS for clarification or further guidance.
