The lovely professional university is the first private university to get accreditation from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR). LPU provides quality education by the well-qualified teachers. LPU has become a brand across the globe. It has various national and international tie-ups. LPU provides a proper atmosphere or environment for agricultural 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 live projects. University provides additional professional enhancement classes as part of the curriculum to prepare the students for all types of competitive exams. All the best.

Hello Siddarth, Agricultural graduates are absorbed as 'Agricultural Development Officers' by state governments. Banks also have special posts as specialist officers for agricultural graduates. A billion dollar private sector industry exists in contract farming, fertilizer, pesticide, /agrochemicals, farm forestry etc. That hires agricultural graduates. If you do MBA in agribusiness management and are upwardly mobile sky is the limit for salaries/perks offered. You can do Masters and Ph.D. and get absorbed in teaching/research in the Agricultural Universities/ ICAR Agricultural Research Service (Central Government). Private players also offer attractive packages to fellows who can deliver in R & D. Good luck.

I would like to name a few companies that visit LPU- Nestle, VLCC Health Care, HDFC, Rallis India, and many other firms. Other career prospects in this are Agricultural Officers, AO in Banks, Indian Forestry Services, Agricultural Research Scientists and Academics. Admissions are going on, apply without any delay to grab a seat.
