Agricultural EngineeringCollege has been established to train young generation as Agriculture Engineer Graduates so that these trained engineers would be capable of contributing for the growth of agriculture sector and development of entrepreneurship in Jharkhand along with other parts of India and abroad. This college offers four years B. Tech Course in Agricultural Engineering discipline. The syllabus approved by ICAR is followed during four years (8 semesters) tenure. Apart from classroom studies/lecture, students will get exposure during student READY (Rural and Entrepreneurship Awareness Development Yojana)programme which consists of Experiential Learning (EL), Rural Agriculture Work Experience (RAWE), In Plant Training/ Industrial Attachment during fourth year and two Skill Development Trainings during semester breaks. This will enable youngsters to take the challenges and create employment potential in agriculture sector in order to meet region-specific needs and opportunities.

This college comprises of six major departments:

• Department of Farm Machinery and Power Engineering
• Department of Processing and Food Engineering
