Hi, In my perspective, I gave my vote to LPU for B.Sc. In agriculture as one of my cousins graduated in this course from LPU and I will highlight some of the features. 1. LPU is the first private University to get ICAR accreditation. 2. The faculty is well qualified and most of them are Ph. This and provide full support to the students. 3. The best thing is the University does not compromise with the academics as all the lectures are held and if a faculty wants a leave either the makeup lectures are planned or adjustments are provided for that particular slot. 4. As most of the work is fieldwork in this branch, every student is allocated a separate piece of land to perform their tasks in the supervision of the staff. 5. University provides additional placement oriented classes and students also studied subjects like analytical skills, soft skills, etc. Etera as part of the curriculum to prepare the students for all types of competitive exams. I would like to name a few companies that visit LPU- Nestle, VLCC Health Care, SYNGENTA INDIA LTD, WIPRO LIMITED, HDFC, Rallis India, and many other firms. For more information, you can either their website (https://www.lpu.in/ ) or call on their toll-free number- 1800 102 4431, 1800 274 0615 Thanks.

Priya Singh · Answer

If talk about B.Sc. Agriculture, I will put LPU above. 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. 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. LPU provide the overall exposure through innovative pedagogy, updated curriculum, industry focused academics. 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.
