Question

Vibha Gupta · Answer

In my opinion, Lovely Professional University is one of the best for B.Sc. In agriculture. Here, I am highlighting some features: 1. LPU is the first private University to get ICAR accreditation. 2. The faculty is well qualified and most of them are Ph.D and they provide full support to the students. 3. LPU has become a brand across the globe. It has various national and international tie-ups. 4. 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. 5. 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- Nestle, VLCC Health Care, HDFC, Rallis India, and many other firms. Hope this information helps.

Hi, There are many colleges but Lovely Professional University is best for B.Sc. (Hons. ). Agriculture. 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.

Dear Mihu, every university is doing good for his students. So, it is difficult to say which one is best. But yes, there are certain parameters to compare to select the best institute. LPU has ICAR accreditation for his agriculture courses. No other private university has this accreditation. Let me clear first what is the meaning of ICAR. ICAR (Indian Council of Agricultural Research) is an accreditation from the Central ministry of India related to study of agriculture which is given to those universities who are the best for this field means, if a university have all the resources in terms of labs, fields, well qualified and experienced staff and faculty, hi Tech labs, research background etc. Then this affiliation is given to only that university. It is very difficult for a university to meet the standards of ICAR. LPU is the first private university to be granted The Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) accreditation by Ministry of Agriculture due to their excellency in the study of agriculture. Doing any course related to agriculture from ICAR accredited means you have all the skills and you are aware of all the tools and methods required for agriculture. This will help you for your career in private and government sector. So, dear student this the importance of ICAR. LPU meets the standard of ICAR. One more important information I want to share with you that due to COVID-19, admission process is online. Before LPU NEST you have to proceed for admission process before 31 May,2020. I suggest you to visit university website for more information or you can call toll free number.

Hi dear, I must say you are searching for the sensational and trendy course of the present day world scenario. For Masters in Agriculture in North India only few Names are coming to my Mind which would be good for you as far as Placements concern or the curriculum concern. Those Institutes are as follows: CCSHAU: Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar. PAU: Punjab Agriculture University, Ludhiana. LPU: Lovely Professional University, Phagwara, Punjab. Apart from LPU both the above universities are public funded universities and under the jurisdiction of Government. I must tell you that I personally found LPU as good as these other aforesaid choices. LPU has become first private University of India who is Accredited from ICAR: The Indian Council of Agricultural Research. Thus, the value of the degree from PAU or LPU is one of the same thing In fact placements of LPU is as good as both the other options. Now coming to the Curricula: I really liked the Curriculum Development research (CDR) practice of LPU which they do after every 6 months. The purpose of doing this CDR is to make their Curricula updated according to the demand of the present Agriculture based Industry. They do Practical oriented study in the fields to produce not only organic and nutrient enrich Flaura but to teach their students in a very advanced way. FEE structure / scholarship of LPU also depends on the performance of the candidate in their previous qualifying exam and the performance in LPU NEST. LPU has certain eligibility criteria also: a candidate must have 60% aggregate marks UG Agriculture (Hons. ). (4 years) or equivalent and candidate has to qualify LPU NEST. Although it is up to you now where to proceed further to educate yourself but would like to inform you that Online admissions are already open in LPU. You can visit their website. I hope my opinion will help you!
