All these accreditation are suppose to be renewed after a specific period. So, you need not to worry at all. This accreditation will get renowned before its due date. With best of my knowledge LPU is the first private university to get this accreditation. Accreditation and approvals from such esteemed government organizations is only given when university stands high on their criteria and I am sure LPU will stand high again and will definitely get the accreditation renewed. If you are interested in exploring Agricultural Sciences and practices in contemporary times, you should go for B.Sc. Agriculture (Hons). B.Sc. Agriculture will get you to understanding soil, water, pesticides, technology, harvesting and may be breeding. I must advise choosing the University that offers all-round development in both the courses. School of Agriculture, Lovely Professional University which is the FIRST PRIVATE SCHOOL to get accredited by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR).

University provides additional placement-oriented classes and students also studied subjects like analytical skills, soft skills, etc. As part of the curriculum to prepare the students for all types of competitive exams as well.
