Does northeast students get any benefit in terms of eligibility in bsc hons agriculture programme offered by LPU in 2021 admission session?

<p>Indeed, students in North-Eastern states, Sikkim, defence force and their dependents and wards of Kashmiri migrants may receive 5 per cent relaxation of minimum eligibility standards in the B.Sc. (Hons.) Agriculture course Lovely Professional University (LPU). This is an indication that rather than the standard 60 percent aggregate marks in 10+2 in subjects such as English, Physics, Chemistry and either Mathematics or Biology, 55 percent marks suffice these candidates to qualify. This break exemplifies the principle of inclusion and providing students belonging to different backgrounds of equal opportunity for learning at LPU. These are programs that permit promising applicants from underrepresented backgrounds to access an education without putting in place eligibility hurdles. Also, the learning experience is boosted by LPU practical training, commercial farms exposure, and good industry contacts. On these areas, LPU students are motivated to apply while also aiding them academically or financially to help them reach their goals.</p>
