Amity University and LPU, both are doing well in the Education Sector. If talk about B.Sc. Agriculture, I will put LPU above Amity University. Lets SEE why the LPU is best option: 1. School of Agriculture, LPU is Accredited with ICAR. No private University has the ICAR Accreditation, so LPU become the first to get the ICAR accreditation. 2. LPU offers the B.Sc. Agriculture with hons. Degree is much more standardized and superior than the general degree. So this is also one of the factor to be considered. 3. Moreover, LPU has well-equipped labs, lecture halls, excellent agriculture farms to conduct the agriculture experiments. 4. LPU provide the overall exposure through innovative pedagogy, updated curriculum, industry focused academics. 5. The students of School of Agriculture also placed in the reputed companies like Dhanuka, HDFC Bank, Amity University and LPU, both are doing well in the Education Sector. Highlights of School: In addition to the regular course work, especially designed practical and experiential inputs like READY (Rural Entrepreneurship Awareness Development Yojna), Hands on training, Practical crop production, Rural and Agriculture Work Experience (RAWE), Nursery raising for horticulture crops, Crop And SEED Identification, Soil And Water Sampling And Analysis, Soil Description And Interpretation, Organic And Chemical Fertilizer, Manure Identification And Application, Introductory Nematology, Disease Of Horticultural Crops And Their Management, Practical Floriculture And Vegetable Crop Production, Bio-Safety Rules And Intellectual Property Rights are offered to promote practical implication of various courses which train students for industry. Students are exposed to Commercial farms (350 acres) to know-how that create an opportunity for students to engage and tone up their endurance, confidence and management skills. They were also engaged in complete cultivation practice of seasonal crops for 6 months, wherein land preparation till harvesting and marketing of the final products will be done by student to expose farming experience. Profit earned by selling solely shared by students of a group. Promoting healthy life by producing and direct marketing of certified organic fruits and vegetables from University's orchard and farms. Seasonal crops grown without chemicals are utilized in LPU campus such as University Cafeteria, Hostels MESS and Roof-top restaurants for healthy lifestyle. I hope this helps. DVD.
