Lovely professional university is the first private university to get accreditation from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR). LPU provides the quality education by the well qualified teachers. LPU has become a brand across the globe. It has various national and international tie-ups. LPU provides a proper atmosphere or environment for agriculture students. In this stream as most of the work is fieldwork, there every student is allocated a separate piece of land to perform their tasks in the supervision of the staff. Students here are given the opportunity to work on the live projects. University provides additional professional enhancement classes as part of the curriculum to prepare the students for all types of competitive exams. LPU excels in terms of placement as well. Students of agriculture are availing a good amount of packages from the recruiters. I would like to name a few companies that visit LPU- SyngentaVLCC, Reliance Fresh, Dhanuka, Bayer, and many other firms.

Frankly speaking, there are no placements in agriculture programs in most of the Private universities apart from LPU ! Because LPU is the only one which has the right industry linkages and practical exposure in these programs which are desired by the industry. This is because LPU curates the programs as professional ones rather than academic ones. You can go through the link below and make a decision ! <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.lpu.in/FullNewsRelease/Agriculture-student-from-Lovely-Professional-University-bags-a-Rs-1-Crore-package.php" style='word-wrap:break-word;'>https://www.lpu.in/FullNewsRelease/Agriculture-student-from-Lovely-Professional-University-bags-a-Rs-1-Crore-package.php</a> The admissions are on !

Hi Vinod, I can not say much about Amity University. LPU is a first private University to get ICAR approval: Under the aegis of ICAR, LPU offers three programs in horticulture at PG level. These are: # M.Sc. Ag. Horticulture (Fruit Science) 2 years. (4 Semesters) # M.Sc. Ag. Horticulture (Vegetable Science) 2 years. (4 Semesters) # M.Sc. Ag. Horticulture (Floriculture and Landscaping) 2 years. (4 Semesters) There are various scholarship schemes for different categories and criterion: # Scholarship on the basis of Percentage in qualifying exam/ Qualification previous to Eligibility Qualification # COVID-19 Frontline Scholarship for the Frontline Workforce # Scholarship on the basis of LPUNEST # Scholarship on the basis of Performance in Sports, Cultural, R&D, Co-curricular and Social Service Bravery Awards. # Special Scholarships and Fee Concessions LPU is the first private university to be accredited by ICAR. With world-class infrastructure and massive investments in intellectual capital, it is the ideal choice for PG programs in agriculture and horticulture. Hope this will help you.

Hi, I would suggest you pursue it from ICAR approved University. LPU is the first private University to get ICAR accreditation. The faculty is well qualified and most of them are Ph. This 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 in the supervision of the staff. If I talk about placements, University provides separate placement oriented classes, and students also studied subjects like analytical skills, soft skills, etc. Etera as part of the curriculum to prepare the students. I would like to name a few companies that visit LPU- Nestle, VLCC Health Care, HDFC, Rallis India, and many other firms. Thanks.

Hello, I am not so aware about Amity, I can share details about LPU. Lovely Professional University is better than others in terms of Placements. There are two major points to be noted here, One is that Placement depends on the students equally as on the university, as student has to maintain a good academic record and should add few stars to his/her CV to land up on better placement. Secondly, University should not just focus on connecting student with the company, but should polish the student in such way that he/she is able to crack any interview easily. Being and LPU alumni, I have observed that LPU gives you ample opportunities to boost your CV and also focuses on over all development of student so that cracking any interview is a cake -walk. Many LPU students at LPU even hold multiple placement options, I am glad, I am one of those. Campus placement at Lovely Professional University has always been a sought after event for the final year students. Division of Career Services sets up recruitment drives and job fairs on a regular basis. Apart from this, it also extends abundant facilities such as resume writing sessions, career advisory services, and aptitude development workshops to proffer better placement to the students. Industry leading companies, every year, come to LPU to participate in recruitment drives. Placements are administered by a team called Division of Career Services. This team aims to help students in obtaining relevant work experience to complement their academic studies and to develop appropriate skills and knowledge to be ready to work in tandem with best minds across industries. Lovely Professional University becomes the First Private University to be Granted ICAR Accreditation By Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India. 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. Students learn about the latest advancements in the field of agriculture, disease resistance, fertilizers and, insecticides with extensive fieldwork and field trips preparing them for the evergreen field of agriculture. 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.
