Which is better for food technology TNAU or TANUVAS?

Niyati Pathak

14 Sept 21

Both TNAU and TANUVAS are relatively similar institutions because they are state-run universities. There is no major difference between the two universities in terms of their infrastructure and faculty members.

However, when compared on higher levels, then TNAU can be considered slightly better than TANUVAS, regardless of their resemblance in academic profiles.

Categories	Food Technology at TNAU
Course Fee	4.64 lakhs
Course Duration	4 years
Average CTC	10-12 LPA
Recruiting Companies	Cadbury, ITC, Yara, Zifo Technologies, etc.

Having said that, it is always a better idea to try for other institutes like CFTRI, IIFPT, or NIFTEM for receiving better exposure, alongside a greater knowledge base.

What is the minimum cutoff to join tnau?

Shreyashi Roy Chowdhury

06 Oct 21

As per the recent cutoff trends, a cut-off of about 190 and above is best to get shortlisted for a B.Sc Agri course at TNAU.

If not, there are different other courses, with a somewhat similar backdrop, like horticulture, forestry, home science, food science, agribusiness management, and more, that require a relatively lower cutoff, as opposed to Agricultural Sciences.

Also, there are various other colleges affiliated under TNAU with required cutoffs lower than the former.

What are the 12th cutoff marks required for TNAU Coimbatore?

Tridha Mukharjee

30 Jun 22

According to the recent trends, the required 12th cutoff for TNAU Coimbatore is around 185+. The cutoff varies each year based on the number of applicants and previous years' cutoff.

For Tamil Nadu students, the counseling is based on the marks obtained in Biology, Physics, and Chemistry in 10+2. For other state students the admission is done through ICAR - UG entrance examination results.

You need to score good marks in the entrance exam, in order to get shortlisted. The required cutoff changes each year based on competition and the number of seats available.

Is TNAU a good university?

Raghu Sharma

06 Oct 21

TNAU is a top-rated agricultural university and it is the oldest institute established. Tamil Nadu Agricultural University (TNAU) was rated amongst the top 3, followed directly by Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI), Pusa, New Delhi, and Punjab Agricultural University (PAU), Ludhiana, Punjab.

The main campus of TNAU is located in AC&RI, TNAU, Coimbatore. I have a few friends from TNAU and according to them, TNAU is a university worth studying at. The classes at the institute are usually held between 7.30 P.M to 5.30 P.M. Most essentially, the exposure at the university is largely diversified as well.

What cutoff mark Tamil Nadu board should I get to opt for a BSc in agriculture at TNAU Coimbatore?

Manisha Jeeva

14 Oct 21

Getting a seat in B.Sc. in Agriculture at Tamil Nadu Agricultural University (TNAU) is like getting a medical seat in a top university. This is due to the value and demand for agriculture seats increasing.

Having a few friends studying in TNAU Coimbatore here are a few things they mentioned.

After graduation, students opt for the banking sector or appear for the UPSC exams.
Nearly 25% of students appearing for higher administrative examinations conducted by UPSC like IAS, IPS are from the agriculture stream.
In 2020, the cut-off was around 199.5 for the general and MBC categories.
Since the preference for agriculture courses among students is increasing, this year the cut-off mark is expected to go high between 175 to 199 out of 200.
The cut-off marks also depend upon communal reservation, ICAR quota, NRI, and industrial quota, in 7 colleges that are directly attached and managed by TNAU.

In addition to these nearly 26 private agriculture colleges are there in Tamil Nadu, affiliated with TNAU, here students can get seats through counseling by TNAU and management quota where cut-off marks will not form a major role.

Which course is better to choose. BS Agribusiness management in TNAU or Btech Biotech at Bannari Amman institute of technology?

Mayank Duggapal

25 Aug 22

You should choose a BS in Agribusiness Management at TNAU. It offers great career prospects in the field of Agriculture. TNAU placements of recent years have witnessed an average CTC of INR 4.5 LPA. ITC, HDFC, Paper Boat, etc. are among the major recruiters that take part in the placement drive. Return on investment is decent.

What is the cutoff mark to join TNAU?

Jiya Patnayak

06 Oct 21

The cut-off you require mostly depends upon the course you are intending to pursue, your community (presuming your home state is Tamil Nadu itself) or ICAR exam score, and category.

On a general note, usually securing an average of about 190 or more will supposedly keep you on the safer side to help obtain admission in any course of the institute. For more information about the UG course, you can follow the official website.

How is the college life at TNAU?

Sreeparna Bose

Having known the alumni at Tamil Nadu Agricultural University (TNAU) here are a few things I got to know from them that might answer your question.

The campus is 1000 acres which provide a calm environment for the students.
For UG students, TNAU will structure the students' life by maintaining discipline.
The Field visit is usually by morning 7.30 AM and the theory classes will be held from 9 AM-5 PM.
The faculty members are very helpful and friendly, they often share their experiences also.
For those who stay in the hostel, it gives you another world of experience.

Apart from all this, UG students of the final year are taken on an India tour. It will be around important institutes and monuments, for about 20 days this will be an experience of joy and learning.
