because see, the college is nice
it all boils down to if you want to study what they are offering

i personally don't find it worth especially from job point of view after collage. I got this last year but decided not to take admission and apply again next year. See tis course will affect your life so Ill suggest you to be very careful before making any choice.

I'm confused about the same. I have no interest in agribusiness but most people I've talked to have asked to reserve a seat as chances are high for an up gradation. It's too much of a risk I think. They won't pay back the amount if the seat is not taken up after you withdraw. 95k is not a joke to lose.

What's ur rank tanudas?

[Anu07]

I agree 95K is a LOT of money to risk, plus the chances of upgrading  are low if you already book a seat as they try to offer seats to as many students as they can.  Also if you don't secure a seat and they have some seats left in the end for courses you preferred first they will offer you those seats later. It happened with me last year. Last year they first offered my ari eco. in second cut off but when i didn't secure a seat, by the end of July they offered me financial eco which was my second preference.

[tanudas]

Anu07- this is strange because wouldn't they want students with higher ranks in better courses ? By the way, what was your rank last year ?
