Hi Sourbh, Being an education consultant I can tell you efficiently that Bachelor's degree in agriculture is a big demanding degree now a days even in the government sector. I know about one of the premier institution in India which is situated in Jalandhar, Punjab "lovely professional University" this is India's first private University to get the ICAR accreditation. I am a resident of Jalandhar city so I know enough of LPU. It is a lush green campus in more than 600 acres of land. If I am not wrong they have allocated approximately 20 to 30 acres of land to the students of school of agriculture just for the research purpose. This year they have relaxed their eligibility criteria just to facilitate the candidates due to COVID19 pandemic situation across the country. IN FACT THEY HAVE STARTED SCHOLARSHIP FOR THOSE WHO SURVIVED FROM CORONA VIRUS UNDER THE NAME OF "COVID19 FRONTLINE SCHOLARSHIP". I have heard that online admissions are only started so one can proceed through their website or can call at toll free number of the university. Their Academic Executives will help you more than your imagination.
