What is the placement scenario for agriculture course in LPU?

Question

Nahita Singh · Answer

One of my cousins graduated in this course from LPU and I will highlight some of the features. 1. LPU is the first private University to get ICAR accreditation. 2. The faculty is well qualified and most of them are Ph. This and provide full support to the students. 3. The best thing is the University does not compromise with the academics as all the lectures are held and if a faculty wants a leave either the makeup lectures are planned or adjustments are provided for that particular slot. 4. 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. 5. University provides additional placement oriented classes and students also studied subjects like analytical skills, soft skills, etc. as part of the curriculum to prepare the students for all types of competitive exams. I would like to name a few companies that visit LPU- Nestle, VLCC Health Care, HDFC, Rallis India, and many other firms. Thanks.

Hi, LPU is the only private university which has been accredited by ICAR. It has set certain standards and for this FEAT it has received many accolades. The experienced faculty along with the high standards maintained for the grooming of students has made it a hub of academic excellence. The sprawling infra structure aids the practical knowledge needed for this field and well-equipped labs have been provided to propel the career of students to a zenith. LPU understands the importance of uninterrupted education and so offers scholarships for the sectors, on the marks qualified, national level award, defense, sports, etc. It has also moved forward to aid education at such grim times by offering financial assistance in the form of covid scholarships. As all exams have not been conducted as per schedule, hence LPU again has come forward to assist the students. So the last two qualifications would be considered for scholarship and you can avail the higher bracket LPU expertise takes place each at intervals in and out of the classroom, nurturing creativity and innovation through challenging project work and practical learning, and providing an environment conducive to sparking ideas and how to translate those ideas into reality For details of academics as well as scholarships, you can log in to their website.

Hello, Lovely Professional University is better than others in terms of Placements. There are two major points to be noted here, One is that Placement depends on the students equally as on the university, as student has to maintain a good academic record and should add few stars to his/her CV to land up on better placement. Secondly, University should not just focus on connecting student with the company, but should polish the student in such way that he/she is able to crack any interview easily. Being and LPU alumni, I have observed that LPU gives you ample opportunities to boost your CV and also focuses on over all development of student so that cracking any interview is a cake -walk. Many LPU students at LPU even hold multiple placement options, I am glad, I am one of those. Campus placement at Lovely Professional University has always been a sought after event for the final year students.

Now about recent placements in Agriculture. University provides additional placement oriented classes and students also studied subjects like analytical skills, soft skills, etc. Etera as part of the curriculum to prepare the students for all types of competitive exams. I would like to name a few companies that visit LPU- Nestle, VLCC Health Care, HDFC, Rallis India, SYNGENTA INDIA LTD, WIPRO LIMITED, and many other firms. The average package is 3.27 LPA and the maximum is 5.6 LPA. Recently LPU student has bagged 1crore package from Canadian Co.
