University websites are increasingly used for a wide variety of purposes, such as uploading the prospectus, library catalogue, promote achievement of individuals, research groups, new publications, etc. Therefore, there is a necessity and desire to know about websites of academic organizations in general and Indian universities in particular. This paper aims to evaluate Agricultural Universities in India through webometrics method. A total of 54 Agricultural Universities were considered, which includes 44 State Agricultural Universities (SAUs), 1 Central University, 5 Deemed Universities, and 4 Central Universities with agriculture faculty. Various concepts like Google PageRank, Alexa Traffic Rank, and rich files are considered for evaluation. It also presents the network diagrams showing the link structures between the web nodes in webometric analysis.Keywords
