Can you suggest a good university to do B.Sc in agriculture?

In my opinion you can look out for Lovely Professional University to do B.Sc. Agriculture course. As per my sister experience I am saying so who is now the proud LPU alumni. Agriculture is the process of producing food, feed, fiber and many other desired products by the cultivation of certain plants and the raising of domesticated animals (livestock) and that what LPU teach to students. LPU offers Agriculture courses in Bachelors, Masters and Doctoral levels in various streams and specializations. I would like to tell you that at LPU you will get the desired exposure in the farms of LPU where you will come to know in deep about agriculture with hand-on sessions. Moreover, LPU focused on the improvement of academic quality and public accountability and that's the reason that LPU got ICAR accreditation to run this programme. LPU meets official standards. LPU School of Agriculture is among Punjab and India's Best Agriculture colleges. It lays thrust on carrying out research in agricultural and allied fields. The university has well-equipped laboratories, library, lecture rooms and excellent farm facility to conduct agricultural experiments. Agriculture, being one of the flagship programs in LPU attracts hordes of recruiters for various positions. Some great companies for recruitment are: Syngenta, Reliance Fresh, Dhanuka, Nestle, Amul, VLCC and Haldirams etc. So the placement scene for agri graduates is vibrant. Within a short period of 15 years LPU has excelled every sphere of education it has entered into including agriculture. Moreover she told me, the Agriculture students are the part of various research projects like Flying Farmer An Innovative Approach, Hydroponics Mineral Nutrient Solution, Haqaeponics Novel Agricultural Technology, Project on Floating Island. Hope this information helps.

LPU is a first private University having ICAR accreditation. ICAR (Indian Council of Agricultural Research) co-ordinates agricultural education and research in the country under the aegis of Ministry of Agriculture (government. of India). LPU School of Agriculture has been granted accreditation by the National Agricultural Education Board of Indian Council of Agricultural Research, making it the first and only private University in the country to receive the accreditation. LPU got this accreditation last year (2018). LPU offers course in B.Sc (Hons. ) Agriculture, M.Sc Ag. (Genetics & Plant Breeding), M.Sc Ag. (Agronomy) and M.Sc Ag. Horticulture (Fruit Science) programmes are accredited to ICAR by the National Agricultural Education Board of Indian Council of Agricultural Research, an autonomous body responsible for coordinating agricultural education and research in India. Keeping in sync with the concept I found LPU course curriculum very employable. It believes in building expertise through well planned on-field implementation and testing of basic concepts in production, yield enhancement disease resistant and better shelf life of food and flora. Creating professionals to tackle the dogma from seed to stomach. It runs B.Sc. (Hons. ) Agriculture Programme ie for 4 years. Agriculture Students are exposed to live Commercial farms (350 acres) to engage and tone up their endurance, confidence and management skills. Students are also involved in Practical crop production, Rural and Agriculture Work Experience (RAWE), Nursery raising for horticulture crops, Crop And Seed Identification, Soil And Water Sampling And Analysis, Soil Description And Interpretation, Organic And Chemical Fertilizer etc. projects other than regular course work. Agriculture deals with well planned on-field implementation and testing of basic concepts in production, yield enhancement disease resistant and better shelf life of food and flora. Student may be given an option to go for 4 weeks study tour to USA/ European countries or any other country or option to join partner/ receiving university abroad for a semester as decided by the University subject to conditions. The programme outcomes include Knowledge Enhancement, Professional Enhancement, Entrepreneurship Skills, Communication & Extension Skills, Team Work, Educational Leadership, Data Handling, Ethics and Computational Skills.

The most significant thing which should be emphasized is that LPU is the first private university which has been approved by ICAR. I along with my cousins had visited the fields, labs. In order to infuse understanding on emerging problems and technologies involved in agriculture field visits are conducted to neighbouring farms, orchards and nurseries. Not only subject related education is imparted but also the professional enhancement is added by the university through the different courses like soft skills and communication skills. Major Highlights of the programme that I would be highlighting over here are as follows: a)The course would impart knowledge and understanding of fundamental concepts and techniques of maintaining and enhancing soil fertility, crop production, crop management, crop improvement, biodiversity and sustainability of agriculture worldwide. B)The course would develop the ability to know farming practices and their scope to improve in the rural areas and the environments. C)It would help in applying the knowledge of basic Science through Agricultural microbiology, Plant biochemistry and Biotechnology. D)It will focus on application of knowledge of Agri-business management and finance to develop profitable agricultural system. E)19.25 LPA PLACEMENT OFFERED IN PANDEMIC BY DE SHAW LPU students have got top packages from leading Agriculture companies. Students of School of Agriculture are placed in Dhanuka, HDFC Bank, Reliance retail, Syngenta, Bio SEED Nestle, Smur Agro, VLCC, Virbac, Amazon, Sanra organics and many more. Student of Lovely Professional University, Kavita Faman, a final year student of M.Sc. Agriculture (Agronomy), has bagged a package of Rs 1 crore. The package has been offered by Monsanto, global leaders in agrochemicals and now part of the crop sciences division of the Bayer G are lot of government job available for agricultural graduates in different sectors like FCI, KVK, CCI, ATMA IFFCO, NABARD RBI etc. The following are the key job opportunities in B.Sc.

A large part of the agriculture programme is based on practice so here is the Quantum university which is situated in Roorkee, Uttarakhand have their own field for the agriculture students where they can go for their field practice. As being a student of Quantum university I would like to share my views that there are so many universities out their but Quantum helps you to enhance your skills. If I'll talk about the faculty so I just want to say that the all professors are highly educated and experienced. The best thing about them is that they all are supportive and helpful. The Free Structure is very Affordable. Here students can deposit fees semester wise and on the basis of 12th percentage students get a scholarship. If any student having low % in 12th so he/she can get scholarship on the basis of entrance test. The whole university is quite good so in the last I can say that this university is a good choice for those students who are looking for quality of education with good environment.
