Yes, it is 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 upto 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 interview 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 is a student organisation 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.
