Always aim for the govt college.Private colleges will only provide you a degree but not the required knowledge.

Even the so called top private colleges dont have proper labs and faculties.They just want the hard earned money of your parents.I am saying all this from my personal experience.

So its better to drop a year for the preparation of agricultural entrance exams.Private colleges wont land you anywhere.

If you still wants to join a private college then you may try the following universities

1.Amity university,Noida

2.Lovely professional university

3.Chandigarh university

and so on…..

Once try for ICAR exam and then make up your mind.

let me know in the comment box if you are having any further doubts

hope you find it helpful

thanks

Good Luck!
