Hi, LPU is the best option to pursue B.Sc. (Hons) Agriculture. One of my cousins graduated in this course from LPU and I will highlight some of the features. 1. LPU is the first private University to get ICAR accreditation. 2. The faculty is well qualified and most of them are Ph. This and provide full support to the students. 3. The best thing is the University does not compromise with academics at any cost. 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 under the supervision of the staff. 5. University provides additional placement oriented classes and students also studied subjects like analytical skills, soft skills, etc. Etera as part of the curriculum to prepare the students for all types of competitive exams. I would like to name a few companies that visit LPU- Nestle, VLCC Health Care, HDFC, Rallis India, and many other firms. Thanks.

I have spent 4 years in lpu for my studies and I have seen that the agriculture department is one of the finest departments. Well-equipped and well grown from the last couple of years. Moreover, LPU is the first private university got ICAR approval. LPU holds a stellar record in placements as big brands like VLCC Healthcare Ltd. , Ankur Seeds, HDFC, Dhanuka Agritech Ltd. , Ebro India Pvt. Ltd. , etc. Have visited for campus recruitment at packages upto 4.5 LPA. In addition to this, students can attain positions as Agriculture Inspectors, Agriculture Officers, POs, Food Quality Inspectors, Agriculture Development Officer, Horticulture Development Officer, Technical Assistants and administrative posts in government and non-government organizations. Over and above, I also came to know that recently, LPU has been ranked in top 80 amongst all private and government institutes by NIRF, MHRD, GOI which shows the quality being delivered at the institute.

Yes, it is! Let me tell you why One thing we should keep in mind before taking admission for such a course is that the University we are choosing, must provide us deep and practical knowledge of the core subjects, must adapt to new technologies faster and the University environment should be healthy and clean and LPU does it all perfectly. LPU becomes India's first Private University to get ICAR Accreditation. Among all 8 institutions evaluated at Cars 22nd Board Meeting, LPU School of Agriculture was approved for accreditation with one of the highest ratings. LPU focuses on quality education a lot and all the professors of LPU are highly qualified and friendly, LPU also focuses a lot on practical knowledge and agriculture students of LPU has to go through various practical tasks and projects which makes it very easy to understand the concepts and develop a deep knowledge of the subjects. Through the Rural Agriculture Work Experience (RAWE) programme the students develop a real-time understanding of conventional agriculture methods and effective dissemination of knowledge to the farmers. In order to provide a basic understanding of emerging problems and technologies involved in agriculture, field visits are conducted to neighboring farms, orchards, and nurseries In addition to core curricula, the course offers subjects like communication and soft skills to enhance personality and employability. Now, these were just some of the few advantages of LPU but there is much more good to say about LPU like its infrastructure, study environment, placements, cultural programs, and what not, I can definitely say that LPU would be worth joining. Thank you! Good Luck.

After my research on different universities I can say that Yes, it is good for the Agriculture programme. I won't say it's the best college when compared to other government universities. LPU is the first private University in India that is ICAR accredited by ICAR. There are some private colleges in Maharashtra also which you can admission through the payment as far I listened they are not up to mark. When coming to faculty in LPU most of the faculty will be Ph.D. candidates they are good at teaching and very helpful for the students. Unlike government university's faculty's cannot skip the lectures in LPU. At the end of the semester, the faculty need to cover the skipped lectures too by conducting extra makeup classes. Research work is up to mark in LPU Placements - LPU is trying to get placements. Companies visited are Tata Rallis, NCDEX, Chanuka, smur Agro, Pragya, Reliance, etc. LPU trains you for placements by conducting placement classes. It will train you for Group discussions and personal interviews and will focus on improving your communication skills and reducing your state fear which most of the colleges do not teach you. LPU also conducts classes for the students who want to prepare for Masters from 3rd year onward. In Lpu you can do internships, jobs from the final year onward. For government university's you are allowed from 4th year. You can do a job/ internship from the 4th year itself. Diversity will be more in LPU you can make friends from almost all states and few countries too. When diversity is concerned no university in India can beat LPU. Lab and filed work are also good. There are student organizations in Agriculture also AGRINIANS and Agros you can also join in it for developing your skills. LPU is just like the more REAP the more you get. I hope this helps you. Thanks.
