Dear Anup, There are a few good private universities for B.Sc. Agriculture programme are DAV Jalandhar, LPU Jalandhar, CU Chandigarh, etc. Being alumni of LPU, I would like to share the details of this programme at LPU. One thing we should keep in mind before taking admission for such a course is that the University we are choosing, must provide us deep and practical knowledge of the core subjects, must adapt to new technologies faster and the University environment should be healthy and clean and LPU does it all perfectly. LPU becomes India's first Private University to get ICAR Accreditation. Among all 8 institutions evaluated at Cars 22nd Board Meeting, LPU School of Agriculture was approved for accreditation with one of the highest ratings. LPU focuses on quality education a lot and all the professors of LPU are highly qualified and friendly, LPU also focuses a lot on practical knowledge and agriculture students of LPU has to go through various practical tasks and projects which makes it very easy to understand the concepts and develop a deep knowledge of the subjects. Through the Rural Agriculture Work Experience (RAWE) programme the students develop a real-time understanding of conventional agriculture methods and effective dissemination of knowledge to the farmers. In order to provide a basic understanding of emerging problems and technologies involved in agriculture, field visits are conducted to neighbouring farms, orchards, and nurseries In addition to core curricula, the course offers subjects like communication and soft skills to enhance personality and employability. Now, these were just some of the few advantages of LPU but there is much more good to say about LPU like its infrastructure, study environment, placements, cultural programs and what not, I can definitely say that LPU would be worth joining. Placements- LPU has a great placement record in every field. More than 550 companies visit every year for such activities and campus recruitment of students from LPU. This team aims to help students in obtaining relevant work experience to complement their academic studies and to develop appropriate skills and knowledge to be ready to work in tandem with the best minds across industries. LPU students have got top packages from leading Agriculture companies. Students of the School of Agriculture are placed in Dhanuka, HDFC Bank, Reliance retail, Syngenta, Bio SEED Nestle, Smur Agro, VLCC, etc. I hope this helps Thank you!
