Dear Neeraj, DAV is a decent organisation but certainly there are far better players. LPU's School of Agriculture is the only private institution which has been accredited by ICAR to run the agriculture courses in Bachelors, Masters and Doctoral level. The best part of LPU curriculum is that it is industry ready, being developed in consultations and feedback from industry itself, it is the ideal course for those aspiring good careers in agriculture. The most striking feature is the faculty and focus on the allied skills. Many technologies like SAP and other MOOCs etc. Are a part of the curriculum to ensure that employability of student improves and thet are able to get into dream careers. Just last year, M.Sc. Agronomy student Kavita Faman was placed in Monsanto foods at annual package of INR 1 crore. So, yes LPU is ICAR accredited, has solid track record and fabulous placements.
