Yes, as an LPU alumnus, I can state that LPU was the first private university to receive ICAR, which is a great honour for the LPU family. Bachelor of Science (B.Sc) (Hons. ). M.Sc. Ag. (Genetics & Plant Breeding), M.Sc. Ag. (Agronomy), and M.Sc. Ag. (Agriculture) are all degrees in agriculture. The National Agricultural Education Board of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research, an autonomous agency responsible for organising agricultural education and research in India, has accredited ICAR's Horticulture (Fruit Science) programmes. It reports to the Ministry of Agriculture's Department of Agricultural Research and Education. LPU is also accredited by the Pharmacy Council of India and is recognised by the University Grant Commission (UGC), the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE), and the Council of Architecture (COA) (PCI). It's a member of the Association of Indian Universities, as well (AIU). LPU is a member of the Association of Commonwealth Universities and is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP) (ACU). Let me give you a quick rundown of the LPU ranks; MHRD, government. LPU is India's the largest private university, according to the NIRF Ranking, and the only private university to host none other than Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the 106th Indian Science Congress, which was hosted on the university campus. LPU is ranked 38th among India's best management schools. The overall ranking of top Pharmacy colleges in India is 26th. According to the MHRD's NIRF 2018 ranking, LPU is placed No. 2 among Indian B-Schools in 'Outreach and Inclusivity. ' In addition, LPU is one of India's top 20 universities for pharmacy research and practise. I hope this information is useful.
