Which college is better for B.Sc. Agriculture in Amity University, Noida or LPU, Jalandhar?

Hello, Both the names are well renowned in the private university sector of India. I am a pass out of LPU and honestly, that is one decision which I have never regretted in my life. I would like to share my experience with you which will definitely give you a clear picture of how LPU has not only given my career a kickstart but also has helped me evolve as a tech expert in my domain. When you compare LPU with Amity, Fees is a big concern at LPU, but scholarships at LPU are at great help. The industry exposure that we got during our tenure is commendable. I can clearly SEE the difference in terms of concept clarity and strong basics at my workplace and I owe it all to my college. During my first year I participated in a lot of live projects and inter college tech fests. Since I was new to application based learning, the faculty was my back bone and helped me at every step where there was a hindrance. During my second year there were a lot of practical classes as well. The computer languages that we learnt as per our syllabus was backed by a very thorough practical learning with our home assignments. This was the time when I also got in touch with my college seniors who not only helped my with my assignments but are also friends for life now. During the 3rd year, there were pre-placement classes and a series of mock tests that helped us prepare for our final placements. We also had a few extra classes which covered industry concepts apart from the regular curriculum. In that year I participated with my friend in a robowar competition in Punjabi University and we came second. That was where I applied my practical knowledge from all that I learnt in theory classes. In the 4th year also there were personality development classes which groomed us well and made us ready for our campus placements. All in all my experience in LPU has been amazing and my graduation years couldn't have been better anywhere else. I hope it helps. All the Best!

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.

Well, if I talk about B.Sc. Agriculture at LPU, before proceeding I want to assert that LPU is the first private university in India that has got the ICAR accreditation which is a huge milestone that LPU has got in Science field. Undoubtedly, studying B.Sc. Agriculture in LPU will give an upper edge to the students because of robust curriculum and the space area which they provide for agricultural practices. Further, LPU also provides numerous scholarships and benefits of it can be availed by students. As I am an alumnus of LPU from Science background I, have visited the greenhouse and agricultural fields, which I must say are very vast and the on-going projects are significant and impactful. LPU also offers various career pathways and depending upon students calibre the guidance is provided accordingly. In summation I would strongly recommend LPU for pursuing B.Sc. Agriculture as LPU moulds each person in such a way so that one can fit in this competitive world. Emphasizing on the Jobs, let me update you LPU has distinctive placement record and 23 LPA is the highest package offered to student from agriculture background and 3.3 is the average salary package.
