Dear Hareesh, LPU is famous for top placements of his students in leading companies due to more than 700 tie ups. LPU has both UGC and ICAR accreditation for agriculture studies, so the placement of students exponentially increased. 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. For B.Sc. Agriculture, LPU provides placement as well as internships to his students in companies such as Syngenta India Ltd, EDGECASE. AI, Pragya, Bioseed, Mahindra Agrisolution Ltd, Sanra Organics, NCDEX, SMURAGRO, Rallies India, Kandhari Beverages, Farelab, BD Agro, Kilban Foods Pvt Ltd, NESTLE and IFF. These companies are the mass recruiters of LPU for agriculture students with more than 93% success rate. I hope this information will be helpful for your career.

Dear Hareesh, LPU is a UGC recognised university. You can check the link below for more information: http://www.lpu.in/about_lpu/accreditation.php ICAR is a government process and concerned body will take their own time however we have initiated process after successful pass out of first batch B.Sc (Hons) Agriculture (in May 2015) as per ICAR guidelines. Furthermore, ICAR is an accreditation body, not a regulatory body as in case of MBBS (Medical Council of India) and B.V.Sc (Veterinary council of India) which accredit our program and advise changes (if any needed) to run the program whereas no permission is required from ICAR for such programs. At the same time, number of students from first batch have qualified for JRF test (conducted by ICAR) and cleared with merit positions. Thereby availing ICAR awarded a scholarship for doing M.Sc. in various branches of Agriculture namely Plant breeding, Vegetable sci., Entomology, Agricultural Statistics, etc., in top agricultural universities by Govt. of India. Some of these first batch students are also pursuing their M.Sc in various state agricultural universities (Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore; Punjab Agriculture University, Ludhiana, Haryana Agricultural University, Hissar; Indira Gandhi Agricultural University, Raipur; Sher-E-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology, Jammu; Chaudhary Sarwan Kumar Himachal Pradesh Krishi Vishvavidyalaya, Palampur, etc., on scholarships (as cleared with merit positions) as discussed above. Similarly, a few students have also been working with various private industries like TATA Rallis India, Zenesis Agroscience And Consulting Pvt. Ltd, Omics Group etc. where placement has been done either on campus or through joint campus drives. Since our students are accepted by ICAR funded state agricultural universities as well as by ICAR for scholarships, so there is no question about validity of degree. But it will be difficult to give time frame at this moment for approval.
