What is the placement record for B.Sc. (Hons.) in Agriculture in LPU?

Hi, LPU School of Agriculture is among Punjab and India's Best Agriculture colleges. It lays thrust on carrying out research in agricultural and allied fields. My neighbour sister graduated from LPU from the same course.Let me discuss with you what she shared with me on this topic. The university has well-equipped laboratories, library, lecture rooms, and excellent farm facilities to conduct agricultural experiments. The students are taught with hands-on experience with the most advanced technology. Placements in LPU are very promising for the B.Sc. Agriculture students. Based on the Lol, IEA, Compliance Certificate and Self Study Report submitted by the University and subsequent report of Peer Review Team, the National Agricultural Education Accreditation Board of ICAR in its XXII meeting, held on 28th September 2018, granted accreditation to the School of Agriculture, Lovely Professional University. For campus placements several Brands of the industry visited the LPU campus every year, students get trained for that and the process is still going on. Around 180+ reputed companies visit every year for campus-placement from LPU. In agriculture programs candidates got very good packages. The highest package offered is approximately 8 LPA and the minimum package is 3.5 LPA as far as I know. Students here are given the opportunity to work on 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. Hope this information helps. Thank You.
