I came to know that LPU has ICAR accreditation upto March 2023. So I wish to know whether it will extend or not after this.

Hi Rabinsha, As we all know that Lovely Professional University is the first private University who has got and accreditation from ICAR. Curriculum here is as per the guidelines of ICAR (Indian Council of Agriculture Research) and is designed to train students to understand ways of improving the crop production in a sustainable manner and to provide overall knowledge related to agriculture. ICAR ACCREDITATION is definitely going to be with LPU only for a long term or forever. Because all the quality measures and parameters are done at the University part. You just focus on your prospective career in agriculture field. Because if you are a student of Lovely Professional University you do not need to worry about placements. You will definitely get a decent job after the completion of your degree. Agriculture is a primary source of livelihood for the majority of Indians. Thus, generally it remains the last priority among students choosing a career option. Which is a very wrong assumption. Agricultural graduates have wide scope of career in public sector and private sector. In fact entrepreneurship is a great opportunity to pursue your prospective career in agricultural field. It is just a myth that Agriculture does not offer job opportunities. The demand for graduates with a degree in agriculture is increasing every day in India and abroad. B.Sc. Agriculture is a 4 year undergraduate professional course offered by Lovely Professional University. Course fees are also considerably lower in comparison to other professional degrees, while rewarding with good jobs and a better packages. Infact one of LPU student has got the package of Rs 1 Crore per Annum. # It has various and variety of career options: Agriculture Officer, Farm Manager, Plantation Manager, Research Officer, Officer in Quality, Assurance in Related Fields, Agriculture Loan Officer in Banks, Production Manager, Operations Manager in Fertilizer Units, Business Development Manager, Food Processing Units in Government, Agri PreneurshipSeed Technologies Firm etc. And many more options are there. I hope this will be helpful to you.

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). Students are also involved in Practical crop production, Rural and 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. School of Agriculture offers programs with up to date curriculum designed to suits the aspirations of agricultural industries as well as major research and development sectors. Ranked Top in India by Silicon India The school has 2500+ students who are involved in different research trials throughout the year. LPU provides copious opportunities to all the students. 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. I would like to name a few companies that visit LPU- Nestle, VLCC Health Care, HDFC, Rallis India, SYNGENTA INDIA LTD, WIPRO LIMITED, and many other firms. Just last year, LPU student Kavita Faman has placed in Monsanto foods at the annual package of INR 1 crore. For more details on the eligibility and scholarship on the basis of LPU NEST you may visit LPU Website.

All these accreditation are suppose to be renewed after a stipulated tenure. So there is no need to get anxious. 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 neighboring 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.

LPU is a well renowned university. It is recognised by UGC and also it has got the ICAR accreditation. It is the first private university to be accredited by 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 excels in terms of placement as well. Students of agriculture are availing a good amount of packages from the recruiters. 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. ICAR ACCREDITATION is something which gets renewed after some time, initially it is always given for fixed period pf time per se 4 years LPU has a stellar record in delivering cutting edge programs and getting great placements to its students, so there won't be any problem in getting a long term approval later on. Because all the quality parameters and infrastructural norms are being outdone by university. LPU excels in terms of placement as well.
