In my opinion, LPU is the best among them as LPU is the 1st private university that got approval from ICAR and the School of Agriculture is approved for accreditation for a period of five years with a GPAC of 3.42. B.Sc. Agriculture degree offers a number of avenues for growth. The graduates desirous of specializing may opt for a Masters programme. A large part of the agriculture programme is based in practice inculcated via field trips, study tours, and projects. A B.Sc. Graduate is expected to master concepts like macro-micro crop planning, Agri-financing and agricultural Statistics and use them extensively. Scholarships: LPU provides scholarships to all students with good academic records, sports, or extracurricular activities achievement. LPU also helps students in the Education loan facility. Faculty: All faculty members are well qualified from top-ranked universities all over the world. Infrastructure: All the facilities are available on the campus itself, a student does not need to go outside for anything. On the campus, Central Library, Hospital facility is available 24*7 for staff and students, Shopping mall, Indoor Sports Stadium with 3 Olympic size Swimming Pools, Public/Private Sector Banks, ATM, etc. University provides additional professional enhancement classes as part of the curriculum to prepare the students for all types of competitive exams. LPU excels in terms of placement as well. Students of agriculture are availing a good amount of packages from the recruiters. I would like to name a few companies that visit LPU- Nestle, VLCC Health Care, HDFC, Rallis India, and many other firms.
