Question

N Pathania · Answer

Hi, LPU is well known for its B.Sc. (Hons) Agriculture course. LPU is the first private University to get ICAR accreditation. The faculty is well qualified and most of them are Ph. D. and provide full support to the 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. If I talk about placements, University provides separate placement oriented classes, and students also studied subjects like analytical skills, soft skills, etc. as part of the curriculum to prepare the students. I would like to name a few companies that visit LPU- Nestle, VLCC Health Care, HDFC, Rallis India, and many other firms. Thanks.

Every university is doing good for his students. So it is difficult to say which one is best. But yes, there are certain parameters to compare to select the best. LPU has ICAR accreditation for his agriculture courses. No other private university has this accreditation. Let me clear first what is the meaning of ICAR. ICAR (Indian Council of Agricultural Research) is an accreditation from the Central ministry of India related to study of agriculture which is given to those universities who are the best for this field means, if a university have all the resources in terms of labs, fields, well qualified and experienced staff and faculty, hi Tech labs, research background etc. Then this affiliation is given to only that university. It is very difficult for a university to meet the standards of ICAR. LPU is the first private university to be granted The Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) accreditation by Ministry of Agriculture due to their excellency in the study of agriculture. Doing any course related to agriculture from ICAR accredited means you have all the skills and you are aware of all the tools and methods required for agriculture. This will help you for your career in private and government sector. So, dear student this the importance of ICAR. LPU meets the standard of ICAR. I more important information I want to share with you that due to COVID-19, admission process is online. Before LPU NEST you have to proceed for admission process before 30 April,2020. I suggest you to visit university website for more information or you can call toll free number.

Without any biased approach. Both the universities are good on their parameters. But if we talk about B.Sc. (Agri. ). Or any other agricultural programme, the most important aspect is that the institute must be having ICAR accreditation. ICAR (Indian Council of Agricultural Research) coordinates agricultural education and research in the country under the aegis of Ministry of Agriculture (government of India). LPU is having ICAR accreditation for their Agricultural programmes, as it becomes one of the first private university to have the same.
