Is it recognized by ICAR? If not, will it be recognized in future? What is the placement record for B.Sc agriculture?

Lovely Professional University is one of the best and premier institutes for agricultural studies. It has become first private university of India to get an approval from ICAR. # If any student is pursuing B.Sc agriculture from Lovely Professional University he/she should not be worried about the placements. LPU has remarkable placements. # LPU provides additional placement oriented classes and students also studied subjects like analytical skills, soft skills, etc. as part of the curriculum to prepare the students for all types of competitive exams as well. I would like to name a few companies that visit LPU- Nestle, VLCC Health Care, HDFC, Rallis India, SYNGENTA INDIA LTD, WIPRO LIMITED, and many other firms. The average package is 3.27 LPA and the maximum is 5.6 LPA.

Dear Abdul, LPU is an international university with multiple affiliations and best education award winner. LPU is famous for his placements and modern infrastructure. LPU is the only private university having ICAR accreditation. ICAR (Indian Council of Agricultural Research) is an accreditation from the Central ministry of India related to study of agriculture which is given to those universities who are the best for this field means, if a university have all the resources in terms of labs, fields, well qualified and experienced staff and faculty, hi Tech labs, research background etc. Then this affiliation is given to only that university. It is very difficult for a university to meet the standards of ICAR. So, LPU is the first private university to be granted The Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) accreditation by Ministry of Agriculture due to their excellency in the study of agriculture. Doing any course related to agriculture from ICAR accredited means you have all the skills and you are aware of all the tools and methods required for agriculture. This will help you for your career in private and government sector.

Abdul, The university has already applied for ICAR approval. It is the sole concern of ICAR and depends upon them that how much time they will take for the process. LPU started with B.Sc agriculture in 2011 only. So,till now only one batch has passed out and placements for that batch were good.

Dear Abdul, Agriculture is the most demanding course these days. B.Sc(Hons.) Agriculture in Lovely Professional University is best. LPU is the first private University to get ICAR accreditation. The faculty is well qualified and most of them are Ph. Ds and provide full support to the students. The best thing is the University does not compromise with the academics as all the lectures are held and if a faculty wants a leave either the makeup lectures are planned or adjustments are provided for that particular slot. In this stream as most of the work is fieldwork, there every student is allocated a separate piece of land to perform their tasks under the supervision of the staff. LPU provides copious opportunities to all the students. University provides additional placement-oriented classes and students also studied subjects like analytical skills, soft skills, etc. as part of the curriculum to prepare the students for all types of competitive exams as well. I would like to name a few companies that visit LPU- Nestle, VLCC Health Care, HDFC, Rallis India, SYNGENTA INDIA LTD, WIPRO LIMITED, and many other firms. Just last year, LPU student Kavita Faman has placed Monsanto foods at the annual package of INR 1 crore. For more details, you may refer to the LPU website. Thanks
