Dharamveer Dheer · Answer

Dear Sneha, For government jobs, you need to be a graduate first. From your question I can SEE that you have interest in agriculture. So B. Se Agriculture will be just the right programme for you n graduation. Now coming to government jobs: Most have an exam. You need to choose your university with great care, it must have pathway electives for government jobs too. For example: At LPU, right after first year of your studies the students are given option to choose the pathway electives. The programme includes the preparation of the services examination too. SO yes Agriculture will be good, but doing it from right college is more important because you will go in for government jobs where competition is too high. Hope this helps DVD.

For government jobs, you need to be a graduate first. So in my opinion, you may proceed for B.Sc. Agriculture programme as you are interested in the same.

LPU provides a proper atmosphere or environment for agriculture students. In this stream as most of the work is fieldwork, there every student is allocated a separate piece of land to perform their tasks in the supervision of the staff. Students here are given the opportunity to work on the live projects. 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.
