Certainly, if someone is interested in exploring Agricultural Sciences and practices in contemporary times, you should go for B.Sc. In 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.

What is the reality of LPU placements?

Vidushi Sharma

hi,

The reality of LPU placements is that opportunities are good, but outcomes depend a lot on the student. Many reputed companies visit the campus, and some students get very high packages, especially in CSE, IT, and Management. However, not everyone gets a top package; most students receive average to decent offers based on skills, communication, and internships. Placement support like aptitude training, interview preparation, and industry projects is strong, but students must actively participate and build profiles. In short, LPU provides a big platform, but your personal effort largely decides the final placement result.
